据首尔情报机构周三称，朝鲜领导人金正恩“极度肥胖”，该机构在其对这位隐居领导人健康状况的最新评估中得出了这一结论。
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is understood to be “extremely obese,” Seoul’s spy agency said Wednesday, citing its latest assessment of the reclusive leader’s health.
金正恩长期肥胖且是重度吸烟者，其健康状况受到国际社会的密切关注，因为他的突然死亡可能会引发关于这个拥核国家继承权和稳定性的问题。
A heavy smoker who has long been obese, Kim’s health is closely watched internationally as his sudden death could raise questions over succession and stability in the nuclear-armed state.
首尔情报机构援引的议员尹根永表示：“他的健康状况被归类为极度肥胖，体重超过140公斤。”
Kim’s “health condition is classified as extremely obese, weighing over 140 kilograms,” lawmaker Youn Kun-young said, citing Seoul’s spy agency.
尹根永补充说，尽管他“患心血管疾病的风险很高”，但金正恩在体力活动方面并未表现出困难，包括爬楼梯。
While he is at “high risk of cardiovascular disease,” Kim has shown no difficulty with physical activity, including running up stairs, Youn added.
“鉴于其专属医疗团队的密切监测，评估认为没有健康问题的迹象。”2020年，金正恩缺席了其已故祖父的诞辰纪念活动，并消失在公众视野中约20天，这加剧了外界对他术后严重患病的猜测。
“It is assessed that there are no signs of health issues, given the close monitoring by (his) dedicated medical team.”Speculation over Kim’s health flared in 2020, when he missed a commemoration of his late grandfather’s birthday and disappeared from public view for about 20 days, fueling rumors that he was seriously ill after surgery.
金正恩的父亲金正日和祖父金日成也曾肥胖且是重度吸烟者。两人均死于心脏病发作。
Kim’s father, Kim Jong Il, and grandfather Kim Il Sung were also obese and heavy smokers. Both died of heart attacks.
这个拥核国家因武器计划受到多套制裁，其国家管理的经济长期陷入停滞，并面临严重的粮食短缺。
The nuclear-armed country is under multiple sets of sanctions over its weapons programs and has long struggled with a moribund state-managed economy and chronic food shortages.
联合国朝鲜人权问题特别报告员伊丽莎白·萨尔蒙（Elizabeth Salmon）今年2月表示，粮食短缺是该国主要的人道主义关切。
Elizabeth Salmon, the U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in North Korea, said in February that food shortages are a key humanitarian concern in the country.
但曾于2019年朝美峰会期间与金正恩的私人厨师共事的河内大都会酒店行政总厨保罗·斯马特（Paul Smart）当时表示，这位朝鲜领导人对稀有肉类和奢华食品情有独钟。
But Paul Smart, executive chef at Hanoi’s Metropole Hotel, who worked with Kim’s personal chefs during the 2019 North Korea-U.S. summit, said at the time that the North Korean leader had a taste for rare meat and luxury foods.
斯马特在2019年表示，据他的厨师们——他们都姓金——称，这位朝鲜领导人的品味昂贵。
According to his chefs — both of them called Kim — the North Korean leader has expensive tastes, Smart said in 2019.
“他喜欢鱼子酱、龙虾，真正奢华的产品。鹅肝，他真的很喜欢享受美食。”
“He likes caviar, lobster, really luxurious product. Foie gras, he really likes to indulge in cuisine.”
