本周第一条，原文链接：http://www.sciencemag.org/content/339/6117/256.1.full.pdf Tasmania, Australia 1 Bushfires Rage Across 森林大火遍布澳大利亚Tasmania州 Australia welcomed the New Year with raging fires and a record-breaking heat wave. On 7 January, the average highest daily temperature hit 40.33°C, beating the previous record of 40.17°C set in 1972. The first 2 weeks of January were “the hottest 13-day period in Australian history,” says the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s David Jones. The extreme heat forced the bureau to top-up its color coded weather map to accommodate temperatures up to 54°C. Trains were halted in the state of Queensland amid fears that tracks might buckle. 澳大利亚在熊熊燃烧的大火和破纪录的高温中迎来了新的一年。1月7日这天，平均日最高温达到了40.33摄氏度，超过了之前1972的最高记录40.17摄氏度。澳大利亚气象局的David Jones 说，1月份的头两个星期成为了“澳大利亚历史上最炎热的13天”。极端高温的天气迫使气象局把彩色温度分布图的上限提高才能表示出54度的高温。因为担心铁轨受热弯曲，Queensland的火车已经停运。 As Science went to press, Tasmania continues to battle two major bushfires triggered on 4 January by what the state fire service classified as “catastrophic” weather conditions. Hundreds of grass- and bushfires are burning across the country, with the most severe in Victoria and New South Wales, where 33 homes were lost, as well as facilities at the Siding Spring Observatory. 在Science杂志印刷之时，Tasmania与两处主要森林大火的战斗还在继续之中，这两处大火是1月4日被国家消防队所谓的“灾难”天气条件所引发的。在遍布整个澳大利亚的数百块草地和丛林正淹没在熊熊大火中，其中最严重的是Victoria 和New South Wales，在这些地方有33所房子以及Siding Spring天文台被烧毁。 A report released on 12 January by Australia’s Climate Commission says that the heat wave and bushfires were “exacerbated’’ by global warming. It concludes: “The length, extent and severity of the current heatwave are unprecedented.” 澳大利亚气候委员会于1月12日发布的一份报告中说全球变暖让酷暑和森林大火“更加恶劣”。报告最后得出结论说“这次酷暑持续时间之长，覆盖地域之广，破坏程度之严重，前所未有。” *************************************************************** Science的原文和本翻译仅用于网友交流学习之用，若您有其它用途，比如商业用途等，请联系Science杂志社了解原文使用权等相关事宜。谢谢！ |
