据报道，美国和中国就加强制裁朝鲜的联合国安全理事会决议草案达成共识。请看本报周五的报道：

    China and the United States have agreed on a U.N. resolution on North Korea’s nuclear “provocations,” the White House announced Wednesday, with diplomats saying it would include fresh sanctions and could go to a U.N. Security Council vote soon.

    Diplomats at U.N. headquarters in New York said the two governments had agreed on a draft resolution that contained “very tough measures.”

    报道中的resolution就是“决议”，这个词还可以是“解决办法、决心、分辨率”，形容词resolute是“果断的、有决心的”，动词resolve是“决定、解决”。例如：

    The ceasefire resolution is an important step that will bring an end to the violence.

    停火决议是通往结束暴力的重要一步。
