American meteorology is being squeezed out by trump 美国气象学在被特朗普排挤
特朗普退出了巴黎气候协定并削减了美国在气象学方面的研究经费，这对美国气象学是一个重大的打击，他们认为研究现在极端的天气变化，需要大量的先进设备设备，尤其是最近引起洪涝灾害的墨西哥湾飓风哈维。
The 17 trillion US gallons of rain (,roughly 26m Olympic swimming pools,) dumped on Texas by Harricane Harvey has set a new high for tropical system in the US
飓风哈维将170000亿吨加仑的水降落在德克萨斯州，这大约是2600万个奥运会游泳池的水量，创下了美国热带天气系统的新高。
but it is unlikely to last( as rising man-made emmissions push the global climate deeper into uncharted territory
但这一纪录不大，可能长久保持，因为不断增长的人口为排放将全球气候推入前所未知的领域
Images of the flooded Street in Texas are mirrored by scenes of inundate (洪涝的）communities in India and Bangladesh，the recent mudslide in Sierra Leone and last month's deadly overflow of a Yangtze river tributary (支流）in China
德克萨斯州街道的洪水情况，雨印度孟加拉的洪水，最近塞拉利昂的泥石流和上个月中国长江支流大洪水非常相似。
In part， those calamities are seasonal . In part,the impact depending on local factors.but scientists tell us such extreme are likely to become more common and the more devastating as a result of global temperatures and the increasingly intense rainfall.
某种程度上讲，这些灾害气候季节性的影响取决于当地因素。但是科学家称，由于全球气温升高和降雨程度的不断扩大，这样的极端天气可能会变得越来越普遍，并具有破坏性。
Our planet is in an era of unwelcome records，for each of the past 3 years, temperatures have hit peaks not seen since the birth of meteorology and probably not for more than 110,000 years.
我们的地球到那一段很不好的时代，在最近的三年中，气温每年都会达到气象学创立以来的新高，甚至比过去11万年的（最高气温）都高。
The amount of carbon dioxide in the air is at its highest level in 4m years.this doesn't cause storms like Harvey(there have always been storms and Harricane at the time of year along the Gulf of Mexico)，but it make them wetter and the more powerful
空气中的二氧化碳含量达到了400万年中的最高值，这并不会直接导致哈维风暴（墨西哥海岸每年都有风暴）但是会使得风暴更加潮湿和剧烈。
For large countries like the United states, we can except a further rainfull record（and Not just for hurricane）said Otto( oxford university deputy director).this is part of a wider trend.
（牛津大学环境化学副主任）奥拓认为：对于美国这样的大国，我们预计在未来还会有更高的降水记录。(不仅仅是因为飓风)这也仅仅是广泛(总体）趋势的一部分 。
For the globe,we will see heat and extreme rainfall records fall for the foreseeable future.she said,she cautioned that the situation is likely to be different from country to country. Many factors are involved , but (human impact on the climate has added to the tendency for more severe drought and fiercer storms)
对于全球而言，在可预知的未来，人们才将会看到酷热和极端降雨的新记录。他警告说，尽管每个国家的状况可能不同，也涉及多种因素，但是人类对气候的影响增加了严重，旱灾和飓风风暴发生的可能性。
A key focus now is whether climate change is connected to the' stalling' of storms. In the US, Harricanes usually move inland and diminish in power as they get further from sea .(but) havey was stationary for several days ,(which is the main factors in its rainfall record)
当前关注的焦点使气候变化是否和风暴驻留有关？在美国，气候通常会转往内陆，并逐渐随着其远离海洋而降低强度。然而，哈维却（在海岸边）停留(固定）了数天，这也是它降水量创纪录的原因。
Those studies need more powerful analytical tools , including supercomputer. In the US ,however, such research has been become highy political.President Trump has announced that the US will pull out of the Paris climate treaty and cut funding for related research.
这些研究需要强有力的分析仪器，包括超级计算机。但是在美国这样的（气象）研究已经变得极具政治色彩。川普总统已宣布美国将退出巴黎气候协定，并减少相关费用的拨款。
it shouldn't be a political matter to try to understand how much more frequent events like Harvey, we will become in the future. it appalls me that how basic science class become involved in politics like this (said professor Tim from oxford)
牛津大学教授提姆说到，要了解像哈维这样的事件在未来会如何发生？不应该是一个政治事件。基础科学如此卷入政治之中，让人实在心寒。
