The North Korean bomb, estimated at four kilotons, does not come anywhere near the magnitude of the atomic bombs of 15-21 kilotons that America dropped on Japan 64 years ago. Indeed, this vainglorious attempt by Kim Jong-il reminds Koreans of the mother bullfrog in Aesop’s Fables who puffed herself out to imitate an ox.
朝鲜的核弹据估测有4千吨TNT当量，无论在哪方面都不能与美国在64年前投下的约15-21千吨TNT当量的核弹相提并论。其实，这只是金正日的自吹自擂，就像《伊索寓言》里的将自己吹大以冒充公牛的母牛蛙一样。
