韩国国防部周二表示，当天与乐天集团就“萨德”部署用地正式签署换地协议。请看本报昨日的报道：

    South Korea’s Defense Ministry Tuesday signed a land swap deal with Lotte Group for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) despite strong oppositions at home and abroad.

    Lotte, the country’s fifth-largest family-controlled conglomerate, is suspected of having agreed to offer its land for the THAAD deployment in exchange for the rejection of the attempt to detain its chairman and the restoration of its lost license to operate downtown duty-free shops.

    报道中的THAAD中文通常译为“萨德”，指Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (末段高空区域防

    御), 是美军的一种反弹道导弹系统，可以在末段拦截不同射程的导弹。
