| 1、葡萄酒业 |
1. Wine industry |
| 酿酒用的葡萄必须生长在罕见的地中海气候中才能长得最好，加州、智利、法国和西班牙等地区之所以会成为世界葡萄酒酿酒中心完全是因为它们的气候。 |
Grapes grow best in Mediterranean-style climates, which are relatively rare. California, Chile, France and Spain owe their position as wine-production centers to their climate. |
|
气候学家们警告说温度的升高将给大部分葡萄种植区带来灾难。全球变暖会引起一系列的变化，例如虫害、洪水、土壤侵蚀等。随着全年炎热的日子越来越长，葡萄质量下降，葡萄产量减少。
|
Climatologists warn rising temperatures could bring disaster to wine growing areas. Global warming will bring about changes to insect populations, flooding and soil erosion. As hot days increase grape quality and output will fall. |
| 2、渔业 |
2. Fishing industry |
| 全球变暖将在某些方面严重扰乱渔业的发展：空气中的二氧化碳导致海洋酸化，海平面上升可能改变渔业生态环境， 鲑鱼等冷水性鱼类可能会深受暖流的影响，渔业的前景十分令人担忧。 |
Global warming will seriously affect the fishing industry. Carbon dioxide in the air will acidize sea water and rising sea levels will change the ecology of the fishing grounds. Cold water fish such as salmon will be badly affected by warm water currents. The prospects for the fishing industry are very worrying. |
| 3、度假胜地 |
3. Holiday resorts |
| 没有雪也就没有了冬季运动，美国犹他州冬季运动场的滑雪道目前还没有受到太大的影响，但据气候科学家的预测，那里的大部分积雪很快会消失，度假村老板约翰·卡明已在做最坏的打算。 |
Without snow there can be no winter sports. The ski slopes in the Utah winter sports have not so far been affected too badly. But climate scientists predict most of the snow in the park will soon disappear. John Cumming, the owner of the park, is preparing for the worst. |
| 约翰极力倡导降低能源消耗，减少二氧化碳排放量，减缓气候变暖。 |
John is a strong advocate of cutting energy consumption to reduce emissions and slow down global warming. |
| 4、旅游业 |
4. Tourism |
| 人们旅游乘坐的飞机和其它交通工具释放出的二氧化碳加速了全球变暖，全球变暖又会影响旅游区的发展，形成恶性循环。 |
The carbon dioxide emitted by aircraft and other means of transport is speeding up global warming and global warming is in turn affecting tourist destinations, creating a vicious circle. |
| 游客到日本北部冰海是为了观赏海洋生物，如海豚、海雕等。但是随着那里的冰逐渐减少，那些靠旅游业为生的人变得异常担心。全球变暖使很多景点景区受到真正的威胁，还会使很多地方的居民失去家园。 |
People travel to the icy seas of northern Japan to watch the marine wildlife there, such as dolphins and eagles. But as the ice recedes, those who make their living from tourism are becoming very worried. Global warming is a real threat to many scenic spots. Many of the locals even stand to lose their homes due to the effects of global warming. |
| 5、保险业 |
5. The Insurance Industry |
| 伦敦劳埃德保险公司（Lloyd\'s of London）的一篇报告中指出气候变化对世界保险业有很大的冲击力，全球变暖会引发自然灾害并导致很多人死亡，保险公司需要付出的赔偿金自然会增加。全球气候变暖导致海平面上升、严重的旱灾、飓风肆虐，这都引起了保险公司的关注。 |
According to a report issued by Lloyds of London, climate change will have a huge impact on the insurance industry. The report says global warming will cause natural catastrophes and loss of life, causing payouts and premiums to rise. Insurance companies are paying great attention to the rise in sea levels, severe droughts and hurricanes that may result from climate change.
