Seongju

Villagers rallied under a sweltering sun to condemn the choice of their county, Seongju, which is about 135 miles southeast of Seoul, the capital, for the so-called Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system, known as Thaad.

星州郡位于韩国首都首尔东南方135英里处，那里的居民顶着炎炎烈日聚到一起，谴责政府把所谓的末段高空区域防御系统（Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense，简称“萨德”）的部署地点选在自己的家门口。

It said the radar system would be positioned in such a way that its powerful signals would pose no threat to human health, an assurance that villagers in Seongju did not accept.

国防部还表示，雷达系统将采取特定的安置方式，这样其强烈的信号便不会对人体健康构成威胁。但星州郡的村民并不接受这个保证。

After South Korea and the United States announced the agreement to deploy Thaad on Friday, local news reports mentioned Seongju and several other towns as possible sites.

韩国和美国于上周五宣布达成部署“萨德”的协议后，当地媒体报道称，备选部署地点包括星州郡和其它几个城镇。
