Day 2 ?2020年3月27日
From?TIME [Why a Plague of Locusts Is Threatening Crops in Africa and Beyond]
????今天是關(guān)于非洲蝗災(zāi)的一篇短文筆記视乐。文章較短洛搀,摘取了很多原句在這里,方便大家看筆記時也了解一些時事內(nèi)容佑淀。在全球疫情爆發(fā)下留美,蝗災(zāi)的治理也堪憂。
Locusts 蝗蟲 ?devour 吞食伸刃,耗盡 ?famine 饑荒 ?at the risk of 處于危險
the Horn of Africa 非洲之角 ?非洲東北部地區(qū)(亞丁灣南部非洲的最東邊的區(qū)域)
? ? Over the past few months, massive swarms of [locusts] have [devoured] crops across the Horn of Africa and the Middle East, leaving an estimated 20 million people at risk of [famine].
Hatch 孵化 ? hatch eggs谎砾;unprecedented 空前的
? ? ?The first generation's eggs are starting to [hatch], and now even bigger swarms are forming, threatening countries from the Democratic Republic of Congo (剛果) to Yemen, Iran, Pakistan, and India, "representing an unprecedented threat to food security and livelihoods", ?says the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Dense swarms
dense 密集的,swarm一大群捧颅,這里就是形容非常多的蝗蟲
? ?Desert locusts are usually solitary creatures, but when weather conditions are right, their populations explode. That explosion can create dense swarms that can travel great distances–more than 90 miles in a day–in search of food.
Moist 濕潤的 humid景图,damp
? ?Warm weather and unusually heavy rains in the Horn of Africa at the end of 2019 provided the [moist] soil necessary for hatching eggs. From there, the insects spread rapidly, resulting in one of the worst outbreaks the region has seen in more than 70 years.
Resort to 尋求--,訴諸于-
Spray 噴霧碉哑,噴灑
Handheld spray pumps 手持噴霧器
Scarce 缺乏的
Clang 鐺,敲
? ?Some swarms have been so thick in parts of Kenya that they have prevented planes from taking off. Governments have [resorted to] widespread aerial spraying of pesticides when available; in poorer regions, where aircraft are scarce, soldiers battle the swarms with [handheld spray pumps], while farmers attempt to drive them away by clanging pots and pans.
Hinder 阻礙
? ? Scientists in Kenya hope a new computer-assisted tracking program that combines satellite data with weather-mapping software will help predict the swarms' next destination, buying regional authorities enough time to prepare a response. But coronavirus-related travel restrictions have [hindered] relief efforts as well as response mechanisms. The locusts have no such travel limitations.
