研究：到2100年，数百万欧洲人或将死于高温
📖 逐句对照翻译
A new study warns that millions of Europeans could die from heat-related causes by the end of the century.
一项新研究警告称，到本世纪末，数百万欧洲人可能死于与高温相关的原因。
The study was based on computer simulations of predicted climate activity in 854 different European cities.
这项研究基于对854个不同欧洲城市预测气候活动的计算机模拟。
It found that extreme temperatures, mostly heat, could kill as many as 2.3 million people in Europe by 2100.
研究发现，到2100年，极端气温（主要是高温）可能导致欧洲多达230万人死亡。
The researchers said the number of predicted deaths could be reduced if nations are able to find better ways of cutting carbon pollution levels and dealing with extreme heat.
研究人员表示，如果各国能找到更好的方法来减少碳排放和处理极端高温，预计的死亡人数可能会减少。
Currently, cold weather kills far more people in Europe than hot weather.
目前，在欧洲，寒冷天气导致的死亡人数远超炎热天气。
But the study found that as temperatures continue to rise, deaths from cold weather will lessen over time.
但研究发现，随着气温持续上升，寒冷天气导致的死亡人数将随时间减少。
However, heat-related deaths are predicted to rise sharply.
然而，预计与高温相关的死亡人数将急剧上升。
Scientists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine led the research.
伦敦卫生与热带医学院的科学家领衔开展了这项研究。
The results appeared recently in a study in the publication Nature Medicine.
研究结果最近发表在《自然医学》杂志上的一项研究中。
The researchers urged increased efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and expand indoor air-cooling systems and cooling centers in parts of Europe.
研究人员敦促加大力度减少温室气体排放，并在欧洲部分地区扩大室内空气冷却系统和冷却中心。
Without such efforts, places in Italy, southern Spain and Greece are likely to see large increases in heat deaths related to climate change, the study found.
研究发现，如果没有这些努力，意大利、西班牙南部和希腊等地因气候变化导致的高温死亡人数可能会大幅增加。
On the other hand, much of Scandinavia and Britain are predicted to see fewer temperature-related deaths, largely because low temperatures are expected to become more moderate.
另一方面，预计斯堪的纳维亚和英国大部分地区与温度相关的死亡人数将会减少，这主要是因为预计低温天气将变得更加温和。
Pierre Masselot studies the environmental effects of human health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
皮埃尔·马塞洛在伦敦卫生与热带医学院研究人类健康的环境影响。
He helped lead the research.
他协助领导了这项研究。
Masselot told the Associated Press that drops in cold deaths in northern parts of Europe are happening in areas not as populated as places further south.
马塞洛特告诉美联社，欧洲北部寒冷致死人数的下降发生在人口不如更南部地区稠密的区域。
“The Mediterranean is a so-called climate hotspot," he said. "It's a region that is warming much quicker than the rest of the world. And Malta is right in the middle of it.”
他说：“地中海是所谓的气候热点地区。这个地区的变暖速度比世界其他地区快得多。而马耳他正处于其中。”
The study predicts Malta’s temperature-related deaths will increase by 269 people for every 100,000 individuals by the end of the century.
该研究预测，到本世纪末，马耳他因温度相关的死亡人数将每10万人增加269人。
On the other hand, Ireland’s rate is expected to drop slightly to 15 per 100,000 people.
另一方面，爱尔兰的发病率预计将略微下降至每10万人15例。
European officials reported several heat waves have killed thousands of people in recent years across the continent.
欧洲官员报告称，近年来，几波热浪已导致欧洲大陆数千人死亡。
The highest number was in 2003, when about 70,000 deaths were recorded.
最高数字出现在2003年，当时记录了约7万例死亡。
Among the areas predicted to see the most deaths from future temperature rises is Barcelona, Spain.
在预计未来因气温上升而导致死亡人数最多的地区中，西班牙的巴塞罗那赫然在列。
The study found almost 250,000 people could die from temperature-related causes in that city by 2100.
研究发现，到2100年，该市可能有近25万人死于与气温相关的原因。
And the study warned that Rome and Naples could have up to 150,000 deaths.
该研究警告称，罗马和那不勒斯可能有高达15万人死亡。
The study predicted that more than 5.8 million extra heat deaths would be linked to climate change.
该研究预测，将有超过580万例额外的高温死亡与气候变化有关。
At the same time, the study found cold-related deaths would drop by 3.5 million.
与此同时，研究发现与寒冷相关的死亡人数将减少350万。
