拯救海洋
Rory and Meredith are university classmates.
羅瑞和梅莉蒂絲是大學同學。
Meredith: The class today was really interesting. I didn’t know the ocean was the warmest on record earlier this year.
梅莉蒂絲：今天的課真有趣。我不知道今年年初海洋的溫度是有紀錄以來最高的。
the adj.-est on record 史上最～
Rory: Yeah. I actually did some extra reading before class to learn what happens to marine animals in warmer ocean waters.
羅瑞：是的，事實上，我在上課之前讀了一些額外的資料，想了解海洋動物在溫度升高的海水中會發生什麼情況。
extra(adj.)額外的=additionalfurther(adj.)更進一步的marine(adj.)(n.)海洋的、海軍陸戰隊士兵
Meredith: Oh yeah? What did you find out?
梅莉蒂絲：喔，是嗎？你發現了什麼？
find out找到、得知discover(v.)發現
Rory: I read that in 2018 and 2019, more than 10 billion snow crabs died during a heatwave in the Bering Sea near Alaska.
羅瑞：我讀到在2018年和2019年，在阿拉斯加附近的白令海發生熱浪時，有超過100億隻松葉蟹死亡。
Meredith: Wow! That’s so many!
梅莉蒂絲：哇！那麼多！
Rory: I know! It’s the highest number of crabs on record to ever die from a heatwave. I guess the warmer waters made them need more food to live, but there wasn’t enough for them to eat. Many of the crabs were also eaten by larger crabs or fish, or they died from disease.
羅瑞：對呀！那次因熱浪而死亡的螃蟹創下紀錄新高。我想海水溫度提高使牠們需要更多食物才能生存，但卻找不到足夠的食物可吃。許多螃蟹也被更大的螃蟹或魚吃掉，或是因疾病而死亡。
the number of ~數量a number of許多、一些enough(adj.)足狗的disease(n.)疾病=illness
Meredith: I hope this doesn’t happen in other places in the world because of warmer ocean temperatures.
梅莉蒂絲：我希望這種情況不會因為海洋溫度上升而在世界其他地方發生。
because of由於temperature(n.)溫度、氣溫have a temperature發燒=run a temperature
Rory: I agree. But it’s good that we’re studying science, so we can learn how to help save the world’s oceans.
羅瑞：我同意。但我們正在學習科學，這樣我們可以學會如何拯救世界的海洋。
save(v.)拯救、存錢、節省
