North Korean Leader Kim Jong Il, 69, Has Died

美联社首尔报道，朝鲜“伟大的”领导人金正日逝世，享年69岁。

Kim Jong Il, North Korea's mercurial and enigmatic leader, has died. He was 69.

Kim's death was announced Monday by state television from the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.

周一平壤国家电视台报道了金正日的死讯。

Kim is believed to have suffered a stroke in 2008 but appeared relatively vigorous in photos and video from recent trips to China and Russia and in numerous trips around the country carefully documented by state media.

2008年金正日曾中风。

The leader, reputed to have had a taste for cigars, cognac and gourmet cuisine, was believed to have had diabetes and heart disease.

金正日对雪茄、白兰地和美食有着特殊品味，报道称有糖尿病和心脏病。

The news came as North Korea prepared for a hereditary succession. Kim Jong Il inherited power after his father, revered North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, died in 1994.

1994年朝鲜的创始人金日成死后，金正日接替其父亲的权利。

In September 2010, Kim Jong Il unveiled his third son, the twenty-something Kim Jong Un, as his successor, putting him in high-ranking posts.

2010年9月金正日将其第三子金正恩作为其继承者。
