双语文本

Get ready for several years of even more record-breaking heat that pushes Earth to more deadly, fiery and uncomfortable extremes, two of the world's top weather agencies forecast.

全球两大顶级气象机构预测，未来几年将出现更多破纪录的高温天气，地球将因此面临更致命、更炎热且更令人不适的极端气候。

There's an 80% chance the world will break another annual temperature record in the next five years, and it's even more probable that the world will again exceed the international temperature threshold set 10 years ago.

未来五年内，全球有80%的可能性再次打破年度气温纪录，甚至更有可能再度突破十年前设定的国际气温阈值。

Before the end of the decade, the world's annual temperature will shoot past the Paris climate accord goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and hit a more alarming 2 degrees Celsius of heating since the mid-1800s.

到2020年，全球年平均气温将超过《巴黎气候协定》设定的升温限制在1.5摄氏度以内的目标，自19世纪中叶以来的升温幅度将达到2摄氏度，更加令人担忧。

There's an 86% chance that one of the next five years will pass 1.5 degrees and a 70% chance that the five years as a whole will average more than that global milestone, they figured.

他们估计，未来五年中，有86%的可能性会有某一年的气温升幅超过1.5摄氏度，而五年整体平均值超过这一全球临界值的可能性达到70%。
