The United Nations World Food Programme and its agriculture agency have issued a joint global appeal for emergency funding to combat a looming hunger crisis driven by the return of El Niño.

联合国世界粮食计划署及其农业机构已发起一项联合全球呼吁，募集紧急资金以应对因厄尔尼诺现象回归而即将降临的饥饿危机。

Officials cautioned that the cyclical weather phenomenon, which scientists first linked to devastating droughts and extreme weather in the 1970s, could this time inflict even more severe consequences on food security worldwide.

官员警告，科学家在 1970 年代首次与毁灭性干旱和极端天气联系在一起的这种周期性气候现象（厄尔尼诺现象），这一次可能会对全球粮食安全造成甚至更严重的后果。

Rarely has the international community faced such a convergence of climate risk and agricultural vulnerability.

国际社会鲜少面临如此交织的气候风险与农业脆弱性。

El Niño, named by Pacific fishers in the 1800s, is characterised by abnormal warming of ocean surface temperatures that disrupts weather patterns across continents.

厄尔尼诺现象由太平洋渔民于 1800 年代命名，其特征是海洋表面温度异常升高，进而破坏跨大陆的气候模式。

The 1972-73 episode, for instance, warmed Peruvian coastal waters so dramatically that it collapsed the world's largest anchovy fishery.

例如，1972-73 年的事件使秘鲁沿岸海域温度急剧上升，以致于摧毁了全球最大的鳀鱼渔场。

That same event brought harsh drought to South Asia, the Sahel, and parts of East Africa, compounding an oil crisis that deepened global hunger.

那同一个事件给南亚、萨赫勒和东非部分地区带来了严重的干旱，加剧了一场使全球饥饿加深的石油危机。

Were governments to underestimate the current threat, the humanitarian fallout could dwarf previous episodes.

要是各国政府低估了当前的威胁，其所造成的人道主义灾难可能会使先前的事件显得微不足道。

Adugna Woyessa, an Ethiopian epidemiologist at the Ethiopian Public Health Institute, has studied El Niño's devastating effects since childhood.

自童年时期起，埃塞俄比亚公共卫生研究所的埃塞俄比亚流行病学家阿杜格纳·沃耶萨就一直在研究厄尔尼诺现象的毁灭性影响。

As a boy in the early 1970s, he witnessed drought ravage his country's harvests while his school converted a classroom into a grain store.

作为一个在 1970 年代初期的男孩，他目睹了干旱摧毁他国家的收成，而他的学校则将一间教室改造成了谷仓。

He has since argued that nutrition is fundamental to a population's capacity to withstand the cascading health consequences of extreme weather, including malaria epidemics.

自那时起，他便一直主张，营养对于一个群体抵抗极端气候（包括疟疾疫情）所带来的连锁健康后果的能力至关重要。

His research emphasised that proactive intervention, rather than reactive aid, is essential for vulnerable communities.

他的研究强调，预防性的干预措施，而非事后反应性的援助，对于脆弱的社群而言是至关重要的。

Historically, El Niño has triggered political upheaval alongside environmental catastrophe.

从历史上看，厄尔尼诺现象在引发环境灾难的同时，也引发了政治动荡。

#13

In Ethiopia during the 1970s, widespread protests against the emperor's mishandling of famine ultimately facilitated a military coup that ushered in a communist dictatorship.

在 20 世纪 70 年代的埃塞俄比亚，针对皇帝对饥荒处置失当所发起的广泛抗议，最终促成了一场军事政变，进而引入了共产独裁政权。

#14

Such precedents underscore why the current global appeal demands urgent attention.

这些先例强调了为什么目前的全球呼吁需要紧急关注。

#15

Not only does El Niño threaten crop yields and fisheries, but it also destabilises entire political systems in regions already grappling with poverty.

厄尔尼诺现象不仅威胁到作物产量和渔业，还使本就与贫困奋斗的地区之整个政治体系动荡不安。

#16

The question remains whether the international community will mobilise sufficient resources before this crisis escalates beyond containment.

问题在于国际社会是否会在这次危机恶化到无法收拾之前，动员足够的资源。

El Niño is back with a vengeance – and fears of ‘Godzilla’ strength may be the least of our worries厄尔尼诺卷土重来——对“哥斯拉”级强度的担忧可能只是我们最不用担心的事
