英譯漢

　　Mankind is in a periodof adaptation to extreme weather conditions. Sweltering summers, violenthurricanes, freezing winters and monstrous floods have almost become “frequent visitors”. And favorable weather has seemedto be elevated to a “l(fā)uxury”.

　　Meteorologists havemixed views of this. Some believe this should be attributable to climatechange, some argue that extreme climate is caused by atmospheric circulationanomaly, and still others insist that the El Nino effect needs to be blamed asthe main culprit .

　　Anyhow, most scholarsagree on certain propositions that global climate change is accelerating andextreme weather will grow more frequent, intense and wide-ranging. Given anincreasing frail / even weaker global climate, mankind need think morecarefully about how to effectively manage our own activities and cherish ourshared homeland.

　　Future extreme weatherevents will exert a growing impact on those industries closely linked toclimate change such as water conservancy, agriculture, forestry, energy, healthand tourism. The aforesaid factors have added to the complexity of economicrecovery, given a less stable and certain world economy.

　　人類正處于極端天氣的適應(yīng)期，炎熱的酷暑、狂暴的颶風(fēng)、刺骨的嚴(yán)寒以及滔天的洪水近乎成了“常客”。風(fēng)調(diào)雨順已被視為“奢侈品”。

　　氣象學(xué)家對此眾說紛紜，莫衷一是。有的說是全球變暖所致，有的說是大氣環(huán)流異常，還有的認(rèn)為厄爾尼諾是罪魁禍?zhǔn)住?/P>

　　盡管如此，大多數(shù)學(xué)者都認(rèn)同這樣一個觀點(diǎn)：全球氣候變化速度正在加劇，極端災(zāi)害天氣今后無疑將更加頻繁，并且其強(qiáng)度和范圍都將走強(qiáng)。面對日益脆弱的全球氣候，人類需要更認(rèn)真地思考，如何切實(shí)有效地規(guī)范自身活動，珍愛我們共同的家園。

　　未來極端事件將對與氣候有密切相關(guān)的行業(yè)，如水利、農(nóng)業(yè)、林業(yè)、能源、健康和旅游業(yè)等有更大影響。在世界經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展不穩(wěn)定性、不確定性上升的當(dāng)下，上述因素為全球經(jīng)濟(jì)復(fù)蘇帶來更多變數(shù)。
