For the second time in just over two months the US has challenged China's claim to the South China Sea and a number of disputed islands within it.

离上次刚两个月，美国今年第二次进入南海有争议的岛屿，挑战中国的南海主张。

On Sunday the Pentagon sent a destroyer the USS Stethem to sail close to the shore of Triton Island - one of a number in the Paracel Island chain that China claims ownership of.

星期日，五角大楼派出一艘导弹驱逐舰“斯坦塞姆”号（Stethem DDG-63，属于阿利· 伯克级，或被译作斯特西姆号）航行到中建岛海岸附近，这个岛是中国宣称拥有主权的西沙群岛中的一个。

In response China trailed the US destroyer with one of its own warships two US defense officials told Fox News.

美国国防部官员告诉 Fox News(福克斯新闻台)：作为回应，中国用自已的一艘军舰跟踪了美国导弹驱逐舰。

According to international law countries' territories extend 12 miles out from their shores. 

根据国际法，国家领土从海岸延伸12英里。

So by sailing within that distance of Triton the Stethem dismissed China's claim to both the island and the waters around it.

所以“斯坦塞姆”号导弹驱逐舰通过航行进入中建岛12英里，以此驳回中国对中建岛和周围水域的主权要求。

The US calls these voyages 'freedom of navigation operations' or FONOPS because they are intended to reinforce the territories as international waters.

美国宣称这些航行是“自由航行“或者是旨在加强作为国际水域地位的自由航行权。

Although China has constructed a base on the island to reinforce its claim both Taiwan and the Philippines say they are the rightful owners of the island.

虽然中国在这些岛上建造基地加强自已的主权要求，但台湾和菲律宾声称他们拥有这个岛屿的主权。

Al least some one has the balls to stand up to this attempted illegal annexation of international waters. This Is similar to me setting up a tent in the middle of a highway and claiming it as my land. If you lety a bully like China do it once it will happen again and again

至少有人有勇气去抵抗这种非法占领国际水域的企图。这和我在公路中间搭个帐篷，声称它是我的领土一样。如果你放纵中国这个横行霸道者这么做一次，它就会再发生无数次。

Raptor75. LOL I would never setup a tent on a highway in Chicago. The murder capital of the US. Why not focus on the 60 million in the US living below the poverty line and stop interfering in other countries internal affairs.

回复Raptor75：哈哈，我绝对不会在芝加哥的公路上搭帐篷。那可是美国的谋杀之都。为什么不把重点放在美国生活在贫困线以下的6000万人口上呢，为什么不停止干涉别国内政呢？

this is not a confrontation. it is a feeble show. respecting the 12 mile limit is actually saying you agree that the island belongs to china. a confrontation would be LANDING on it

这不是对抗。这是一场无效的演出。尊重12海里界限实际上意味着你同意该岛属于中国。真正的对抗是登岛。

山姆大叔做得好。唯一能够挑战帝国主义中国的领土扩张野心和领海申张的国家就是你。中国本来可以和美国一道搞北朝鲜的（他们支持并资助这个政权）但后来他们搞砸了。特朗普美国可不会再给他们机会了。
