Voice 3: “Over the last two hundred years human activity has increased carbon dioxide to well outside the natural range.…There is nothing that suggests that the Earth will take care of the increase in carbon dioxide.The ice core suggests that the increase in gas will surely give us a climate change that will be dangerous.”
声音3:“在过去的两百年里,人类活动增加了二氧化碳的含量,使之远远超出了自然范围。……没有任何迹象表明地球会处理二氧化碳含量增加的问题。冰芯表明,气体的增加肯定会给我们带来危险的气候变化。”
Voice 1: People all over the world are already seeing evidence of this ‘dangerous’ climate change.Today’s Spotlight will start a new series on early signs of climate change.These are physical affects of Global Warming.Take a look around.Do you see any of these signs where you live?
声音1:世界各地的人们已经看到了这种“危险的”气候变化的证据。今天的重点报道节目将开始一个关于气候变化早期迹象的新系列栏目。这些都是全球变暖的物理影响。四处看看。你在你住的地方见过这些迹象吗?
Voice 2: Today’s sign: Disappearing Glacial Ice.
声音2:今天的迹象:正在消失的冰川冰。
Voice 1: In general, global warming works like this.The sun shines on the Earth.Most of the sun’s rays pass through the Earth’s atmosphere.The surface of the Earth takes in the heat energy.Some of that energy goes back up into the air.It travels back up into the atmosphere.There, gases trap the heat.Some of the gases are natural gases.These gases are needed to keep the Earth warm.Without natural gas the Earth’s temperature would be about thirty-three degrees colder than it is now.
声音1:一般来说,全球变暖是这样的。太阳照耀着地球。大部分的太阳光线穿过地球大气层。地球表面吸收热量。一些热量又回到了空中。它会飞回大气层。在那里,气体吸收热量。有些气体是天然气。这些气体是保持地球温暖所必需的。如果没有天然气,地球的温度会比现在低33度左右。
Voice 2: But people can create gases too.Burning oil creates this kind of gas.Burning oil, as well as natural events like volcano eruptions, send carbon dioxide into the air.Many scientists say that increasing temperatures is linked to the increase of carbon dioxide.
声音2:但是人类也可以制造气体。燃烧石油会产生这种气体。燃烧石油以及火山爆发等自然事件都会将二氧化碳排放到空气中。许多科学家说,气温升高与二氧化碳的增加有关。
Voice 1: It is true that global warming can cause an increase of temperatures in some areas.However, in other areas global warming can cause a decrease in temperature.The important thing to remember is that global warming causes changes in climate.
声音1:全球变暖确实会导致某些地区气温升高。然而,在其他地区,全球变暖会导致气温下降。重要的是要记住,全球变暖导致了气候的变化。
