nuclear deterrent

本周一,朝鲜外务省发言人发表讲话,谴责美国政府以人权问题为名颠覆朝鲜政权的图谋,强调朝鲜将进一步加强核遏制力等自卫力量,以应对美国的敌视政策。

外电报道中有这样一句话:The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Monday vowed to boost its defence capability --including anuclear deterrent-- to cope with Washington's criticism of its human rights record.

Nuclear deterrent 意思是“核遏制力”,deterrent此处作名词用,意思是“阻碍物;威慑物”。Deterrent也可作形容词,表示“威慑的”,比如,deterrent weapons(威慑性武器),deterrent policy(威慑政策)。
