Many places in Europe and North America had very hot weather. Many people died, fires started, and power systems broke.

歐洲與北美洲許多地方天氣極端炎熱。許多人喪生，發生火災，且電力系統崩潰。

Europe was very hot from May. Many old people died in June. In Germany and France, the air was over 41 degrees. Scientists say the earth is getting warmer because of people.

歐洲從五月起就非常炎熱。六月有許多長者去世。在德國與法國，氣溫超過了41度。科學家表示，地球暖化是由於人類活動造成的。

Hot weather caused big fires. In Spain, 13 people died in a fire. In France, fires burned forests. The government says there is not enough water in many areas.

炎熱天氣導致了大火。在西班牙，有13人在火災中喪生。在法國，火災燒毀了森林。政府表示許多地區水資源不足。

Hot weather also broke machines. France stopped three nuclear power plants. In the USA, 100 million people felt the heat. Some parts of the USA also had big floods and rain.

高溫也導致機器故障。法國停止了三座核電廠的運行。在美國，一億人感受到酷熱。美國部分地區還遭遇了嚴重洪水與大雨。

The world has more extreme weather now. This kills people and breaks energy systems.

現在世界上出現更多極端天氣。這會導致人員傷亡並損壞能源系統。

A series of extreme heatwaves across Europe and North America has led to a significant increase in deaths, widespread wildfires, and major failures in public infrastructure.

歐洲與北美出現的一系列極端熱浪，導致死亡人數大幅增加、山火廣泛蔓延，以及公共基礎設施發生重大故障。

Since May, Europe has experienced several heatwaves that have caused a substantial rise in deaths. According to data from EuroMOMO, over 10,000 extra deaths occurred during the last week of June, with people aged 65 and older being the most affected. In England and Wales, researchers estimate that about 2,700 people died due to the heat in May and June. Experts from the World Weather Attribution group emphasized that these events would have been almost impossible without the 1.4C increase in global temperatures caused by human activity. Meanwhile, Germany and France recorded record-breaking temperatures of 41.8C and 43.8C, respectively.

自五月起，歐洲經歷了幾次熱浪，導致死亡人數大幅上升。根據 EuroMOMO 的數據，六月最後一週有超過 10,000 人額外死亡，其中 65 歲及以上的人群受影響最深。在英格蘭與威爾斯，研究人員估計五月與六月約有 2,700 人死於高溫。世界天氣歸因小組 (World Weather Attribution) 的專家強調，若非人類活動導致全球氣溫上升 1.4C，這些事件幾乎不可能發生。與此同時，德國與法國分別錄得 41.8C 與 43.8C 的破紀錄高溫。

These extreme temperatures have also triggered severe wildfires and environmental damage. In Spain, a fire in Almería killed 13 people and destroyed 7,000 hectares of land, likely caused by a faulty power line. Similarly, France faced an unusual wildfire in the Fontainebleau forest, which required special water-bombing aircraft and disrupted major roads and trains. Furthermore, the French government has placed nearly 100 departments under drought monitoring, with 42 of them reaching a critical 'crisis' level.

這些極端溫度也觸發了嚴重的山火與環境破壞。在西班牙，阿爾梅里亞 (Almería) 一場火災導致 13 人死亡並摧毀 7,000 公頃土地，可能由電線故障引起。同樣地，法國楓丹白露森林 (Fontainebleau forest) 出現了異常山火，需要出動特種灑水飛機，並導致主要道路與火車中斷。此外，法國政府將近 100 個省分列入乾旱監測，其中 42 個已達到臨界的「危機」等級。

Finally, these events have exposed weaknesses in energy and transport systems. France had to stop operations at three nuclear power plants to avoid releasing hot cooling water into rivers. In North America, a 'heat dome' affected 100 million people in the US, with record temperatures in Montana and Utah. At the same time, the eastern and southern US suffered from catastrophic flooding, particularly in Missouri. In Canada, authorities issued heat warnings for Ontario and Manitoba as temperatures climbed toward 40C.

最後，這些事件暴露了能源與交通系統的弱點。法國必須停止三座核電廠的運作，以避免將高溫冷卻水排入河流。在北美，一個「熱穹頂」影響了美國 1 億人，蒙大拿州與猶他州錄得破紀錄高溫。與此同時，美國東部與南部遭受毀滅性洪水，特別是在密蘇里州。在加拿大，由於氣溫攀升至接近 40C，當局向安大略省與曼尼托巴省發布熱浪警告。

The current global situation shows an increase in extreme weather events, resulting in high death rates and putting severe pressure on emergency services and energy systems.

目前的全球情況顯示極端天氣事件增加，導致高死亡率，並對緊急服務與能源系統造成嚴重壓力。

A series of extreme heatwaves across Europe and North America has resulted in significant excess mortality, widespread wildfires, and systemic infrastructure failures.

歐洲與北美地區的一系列極端熱浪，已導致顯著的超額死亡、大規模山火以及系統性的基礎設施失效。

The meteorological phenomena in Europe, characterized by a succession of heatwaves since May, have precipitated a substantial increase in all-cause excess mortality. Data from EuroMOMO indicates that 10,650 excess deaths occurred during the peak week of June 22–28, with a disproportionate impact on populations aged 65 and older. In England and Wales, researchers from Imperial College London and the Met Office estimated approximately 2,700 heat-related fatalities across May and June. The World Weather Attribution group posits that such events would have been virtually impossible absent the 1.4C of anthropogenic global heating. Germany recorded a national temperature maximum of 41.8C, while France experienced its highest recorded temperature at 43.8C.

歐洲的氣象現象以五月以來接連出現的熱浪為特徵，導致所有原因的超額死亡人數大幅增加。EuroMOMO 的數據顯示，在 6 月 22 日至 28 日的高峰週期間，發生了 10,650 例超額死亡，其中 65 歲及以上的人群受影響最為嚴重。在英格蘭與威爾斯，倫敦帝國學院與英國氣象局的研究人員估計，5 月和 6 月期間約有 2,700 人死於高溫。世界天氣歸因小組認為，若非人為造成 1.4 攝氏度的全球升溫，此類事件幾乎不可能發生。德國記錄到全國最高溫為 41.8 攝氏度，而法國則記錄到史上最高溫 43.8 攝氏度。

These thermal anomalies have catalyzed severe wildfires and environmental degradation. In Spain, a wildfire in the Almería province resulted in 13 fatalities and the destruction of 7,000 hectares of land; authorities suspect a compromised power line as the ignition source. France has witnessed an unprecedented wildfire in the Fontainebleau forest, necessitating the deployment of Canadair water-bombing aircraft—a resource typically reserved for the south—and causing disruptions to the A6 motorway and rail services. Furthermore, the French government has placed 98 departments under drought monitoring, with 42 at the 'crisis' level.

這些溫度異常催化了嚴重的山火與環境惡化。在西班牙，阿爾梅里亞省的一場山火導致 13 人死亡並摧毀 7,000 公頃土地；當局懷疑起火原因是電線受損。法國在楓丹白露森林經歷了前所未有的山火，導致必須部署通常僅限於南部的 Canadair 灑水飛機，並造成 A6 高速公路與鐵路服務中斷。此外，法國政府已將 98 個省分列入乾旱監測，其中 42 個處於「危機」等級。

Institutional and infrastructural vulnerabilities have been further exposed. France was compelled to suspend operations at three nuclear power stations to prevent the discharge of overheated cooling water into river systems. In North America, a 'heat dome' affected approximately 100 million people in the United States, with record-breaking temperatures in Montana and Utah. Concurrently, the eastern and southern US experienced catastrophic pluvial flooding, notably in Missouri, where over 350 rescues were executed. In Canada, Environment Canada issued orange heat warnings for Ontario and Manitoba as temperatures approached 40C.

機構與基礎設施的脆弱性被進一步揭露。法國被迫暫停三座核電廠的運作，以防止將過熱的冷卻水排放到河流系統中。在北美，一個「熱穹頂」影響了美國約 1 億人，蒙大拿州與猶他州出現破紀錄高溫。與此同時，美國東部與南部經歷了災難性的強降雨洪水，特別是在密蘇里州，執行了超過 350 次救援行動。在加拿大，加拿大環境部向安大略省與曼尼托巴省發布橙色高溫警告，當時溫度接近 40 攝氏度。

The current global situation is characterized by an escalation of extreme weather events, leading to high mortality rates and severe pressure on emergency and energy infrastructure.

目前的全球情況以極端天氣事件的加劇為特徵，導致高死亡率，並對緊急救援與能源基礎設施造成嚴重壓力。
