Cold Fronts and Extreme Weather
雲線與低氣壓
If an area is experiencing dramatic changes in temperature or extreme weather, it’s possible that a cold front could be coming in.
當一個地區經歷溫度和極端天氣的劇烈變化時,有可能是因為冷鋒即將來臨的關係。
experience (v.)經歷dramatic (adj.) 戲劇化的,很劇烈的
A cold front is an area of colder air that moves into warmer air.
冷鋒是指一區較冷的空氣向較溫暖的空氣移動。
When a cold front comes in, it will cause temperatures to change and the current weather will be influenced based on the strength of the cold front.
當冷鋒來襲時,它會造成氣溫變化,且當下天氣會根據冷鋒的強度而有所影響。
approach (v.)接近cause(v.)造成strength (n.)強度,優點;strengths and weaknesses優缺點
Due to the molecules being packed closer together, cold air is denser than warm air.
由於分子會被壓縮得更緊密,冷空氣比暖空氣的密度來得更高。
due to 由於molecule (n.)分子dense (adj.)密度很大的,濃密的
Therefore, when a cold front passes through, it pushes its way under the warm air and lifts it up, creating what is called a low-pressure system.
因此,當冷鋒通過時,它會從暖空氣下面推進並將其抬升,造成所謂的低壓系統。
Low-pressure systems often result in thunderstorms or severe rainfall.
低氣壓系統通常會導致雷雨和豪雨。
result in 導致,引起thunderstorm (n.)雷雨
However, a cold front doesn’t always bring about extreme weather; it depends on what conditions are like on either side.
然而,冷鋒不一定總會帶來極端天氣,而是取決於兩邊的情況。
depend on 取決於……,依賴
There are usually signs that indicate when a cold front is approaching.
冷鋒接近時通常都會有跡象。
sign (n.)跡象,徵兆indicate (v.) 指示,指出
For one, the barometer may fall because a cold front brings in low atmospheric pressure. Sometimes, you might even be able to see a line of clouds along a front.
例如,氣壓計指數會下降,因為冷鋒帶來低氣壓。有時候,你甚至可以看到鋒面帶來的雲線。
barometer (n.)氣壓計atmospheric (adj.)大氣的;atmosphere (n.)大氣層
