What You Need to Know About Heatwaves

关于热浪，你需要知道的事

Heatwaves have become more dangerous as the climate has changed in recent decades.

随着近几十年来气候的变化，热浪已变得更加危险。

Doctors have called extreme heat a "silent killer" because it causes serious health risks for millions of people.

医生们将极端高温称为“无声杀手”，因为它给数百万人带来了严重的健康风险。

An estimated half a million people around the world die from heat-related causes every year.

据估计，全球每年有五十万人死于与高温相关的原因。

This number is higher than the number of deaths caused by wars or terrorism each year.

这个数字比每年因战争或恐怖主义所造成的死亡人数还要高。

However, heat is rarely listed as the official cause of death on medical records.

然而，高温很少在医疗记录上被列为官方的死亡原因。

This is because extreme temperatures are mostly indirect killers that make existing illnesses worse.

这是因为极端温度大多是间接杀手，会使现有的疾病恶化。

Most victims of heatwaves die early from diseases of the heart, lungs, or kidneys, which are made worse by hot weather.

大多数热浪的受害者都因心脏、肺部或肾脏疾病而提早死亡，而这些疾病会因为炎热的天气而恶化。

Doctor Maria Santos, a public health expert, has said that "many people do not realize how dangerous a heatwave can be for their health."

公共卫生专家玛丽亚·桑托斯医生曾表示：“许多人并未意识到热浪对他们的健康会造成多大的危害。”
