#TexasIceStorm #霸王級寒流英文怎麼說

夏熱冬暖的德州上週罕見出現零下溫度❄，究竟是什麼原因❓
德州人斷水斷電斷瓦斯，是天災還是人禍？

The state of Texas is known for its long, hot summers and mild winters. That’s why the 🔖freezing weather that hit Texas last week 🔖took everyone by surprise. Normally, the jet stream keeps 🔖swirling cold air—known as the “polar vortex”—trapped in 🔖the Arctic. But last week, the jet stream 🔖dipped south, bringing 🔖frigid weather all the way south to Texas.
德州一向以漫長炎熱的夏天加上溫和的冬天聞名，這也是為什麼上週全德州陷入冰天雪地會讓大家跌破眼鏡。正常來說，高速氣流會將盤旋的冷空氣（稱極地渦旋）圍在北極圈內。然而上週，高速氣流南下，將嚴寒的天氣也帶到了德州。

The series of winter storms that swept across Texas brought snow, ice, and some of the coldest temperatures the state has ever experienced. Temperatures in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio were lower than those in Anchorage, Alaska, and snow fell all the way to the Mexican border!
一連串的冰風暴橫掃德州，帶來冰雪與該州有史以來的最低溫。德州城市達拉斯、奧斯丁與聖安東尼奧的氣溫低於阿拉斯加的安克雷奇，雪甚至一路下到墨西哥邊境！

Because storms like these are so rare here, Texans—and the state’s 🔖infrastructure—just weren’t prepared for the effects of 🔖extreme cold weather. 🔖Frozen natural gas pipes and ice on power lines caused outages that left millions without gas or electricity, and icy roads resulted in thousands of accidents.
這類的暴雪在德州相當罕見，德州人與當地的基礎建設都沒有準備好應對此極寒天氣。結凍的天然氣管線、結冰的電線桿造成大規模停電，上百萬人斷瓦斯斷電，結冰的路面也導致了數千起車禍。

Left without power to heat their homes, people resorted to extreme measures to stay warm. Some ran their cars in their garages, and others ran generators indoors, resulting in hundreds of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. By the time temperatures started to rise again, dozens of Texans had died, mostly from road accidents, 🔖carbon monoxide poisoning and 🔖hypothermia.
斷電無法使用家中暖氣，人們只得採取極端手段保暖。有些人在自家車庫發動車子，有的在室內開發電機，造成幾百起一氧化碳中毒事件。在氣溫回升到正常溫度之前，數十名德州人死亡，多數死於車禍、一氧化碳中毒以及失溫。

So are there any special terms for weather events like this? The most common term is ✏“cold snap,” which means a sudden short period of very cold weather. Why is it called a cold snap? When you snap your fingers, the sound is sudden and short—just like a cold snap. Another term with the same meaning is ✏“cold wave.” Although “cold wave” isn’t as common as “cold snap,” the opposite term, “heat wave,” is commonly used. Another related term is ✏“cold spell,” which usually refers to a period of cold weather longer than a cold snap.
有什麼詞可以形容這樣的天氣狀況呢？最常用到的詞是「cold snap（短暫的氣溫驟降，類似中文的「霸王級寒流」）」，指突然來襲的短期極寒天氣。為什麼要用到snap（打響指）這個字？打響指的聲音既突然又短促──就像這突如其來的天氣一樣。可以用的另一個詞則是「cold wave（冷浪）」，這個字雖然沒有cold snap常見，不過它的相反詞 heat wave（熱浪）倒是很常見。最後一個詞則是「cold spell」，通常用來形容比cold snap更長的寒流。

海洋是個廣闊無窮的美麗好地方，蘊涵著無數的驚奇，除了承載著海洋生態以外，陸地生態也與之息息相關。我們的海洋調節著氣候、氧氣、溫度。人類需要海洋才得以生存。

很不幸的，由於我們的疏失，海洋現在需要我們的幫助。氾濫的塑膠垃圾、海水溫度上升、過渡捕撈、海洋酸化、工業與農業用化學品排放海中等等。基本上，所有的海洋生物都的生存都受到了威脅。這不是杞人憂天，而是現在進行式的事實。

我學習PADI 潛水課程的原因，因為淺層海水生態系在滅絕。珊瑚白化，魚兒都被捕撈走了，表層海水了無生氣不像過去那般值得探索，想看看海中生態，需要進入更深的水中，這是全世界都面臨的問題，在台灣，同樣的危機也在發生。

時間尚未太晚，生命富有韌性。海洋尚存一線生機，但還能撐多久？我建議大家安排一趟旅程看看水下的世界，理由如下：

1）時間所剩無幾，海洋正在產生劇變，現在會是短期可預見的未來中，您有機會見到的最佳海洋樣貌。現在上路吧！當我們還看得到些什麼的時候。

2）看看海洋的真實樣貌，或許能改變您對消費以及丟棄產品的想法，或許能改變您對社會及經濟運作方式想法，我們該如何衡量價值？若每一位CEO以及政治人物都被要求潛入海中看看，或許這世界有機會變得不一樣！

我這次去了小琉球學水肺潛水。小琉球除了很簡單容易到之外，因地理位置關係，水溫及浪況整年都適合潛水。我的教練是NEMO，他很專業也很注重安全細節，而且中文、英文都沒問題。如果你有興趣想知道更多資訊或是安排來一趟體驗潛水，我非常建議與他聯絡，臉書連結在下面這邊：島氮潛水社 Playful Dive Club

The oceans are a vast and amazing wonderland. They hold uncountable wonders and support not only marine life, but all all life on land as well. Our oceans regulate the weather, oxygen, temperature. We need our oceans to survive.

Unfortunately, due to our negligence, the oceans need us to survive now as well. They are under threat from plastic pollution, rising temperatures, over fishing, and acidification from atmospheric CO2 absorption, and chemical runoff from industry and agriculture. Almost all marine species are under threat. That's not an exaggeration. That is the reality.

I studied for my PADI SCUBA diving license because the ocean life on the surface is disappearing. The reefs are bleaching, the fish have all been fished, and there isn't as much to see as there used to be. To see healthy ocean life now, we need to go deeper. This is the case all over the world, but it's also the case here in Taiwan.

It's not too late. Life is tenacious. The ocean is hanging on. But for how much longer? I recommend that everyone takes a trip underwater now. For two important reasons.

1) Time is running out. The oceans are changing. This is the best it will it be in the near future. Go now while you still can.

2) To see the oceans how they really are. It may change your opinion about how we consume and dispose of products. It may change your opinion about how we run our society, and economy. What is it we really value? The world would be a very different place is every CEO and every politician was required to go SCUBA diving.

I studied on Xiaoliuqiu, which is a convenient place to SCUBA dive because the water temperature is good, and the island is protected from waves, so you can go diving all year round. My instructors name was Nemo, he's very safe and professional, and can teach in both English and Chinese. If you would like to know more, or go on a discovery dive, I highly recommend contacting him. You can find his FB above.:

●素麺：200g
●みりん：大さじ2
●醤油：大さじ2
●丸鶏がらスープ：小さじ2
●創味シャンタン：小さじ1（ウェイパーでもOK）
●砂糖：小さじ1（ラカントとかにすればより糖質が抑えられます）

※味の濃さは350ml足した後に味見してからお好みに調整して下さい。
※辛みが苦手な方は豆板醤を味噌に変えてもOK
※鶏油は温度が低いと固まってしまうのでスープを冷蔵保存する場合や氷で冷やす場合は食べる直前にかけて下さい。（冷蔵で約1か月保存可能です）
-------------------------------------------------------
素麺で作る最高の冷やしラーメン！
『やみつき無限そうめん』を作りました。
たった3分で出来たと思えない深い旨味とコク、それなのに超あっさり、ヘルシーで毎日食べても飽きない、最高にやみつきなスープになってます。
これを食べた人全員にこんな美味しい素麺料理は食べた事がない…と何度も言われた、この夏オススメしたい自慢のレシピです♪
スープと素麺だけでも凄く美味しいですし、もちろん中華麺で食べても最高に美味しいです🤤
簡単過ぎるくらい簡単なので是非一度お試しください。
マジでラーメン屋さんに負けてないですよ♪
驚くほどウマすぎて、もはや飲み物ですw
時間がある場合は鶏ハム（サラダチキン）や鶏油も是非作ってみてね！

[Ingredients]
● Somen noodles: 200g
● Mirin: 2 tablespoons
● Soy sauce: 2 tablespoons
● Chicken broth: 2 teaspoons
● SOMI shantung: 1 teaspoon (you can also use Weipa)
● Sugar: 1 teaspoon (you can use lakanto to reduce the sugar content)
● Dou ban jiang: 1 teaspoon (gochujang is also okay)
● Bonito powder: 1 to 2 teaspoons
● Chicken oil or sesame oil: as desired
● Water: About 350ml (hot and cold water combined)
● Black pepper, white pepper, small green onion, Ra-yu to taste
※Taste after adding 350ml and adjust the taste to your liking.
※If you don't like the spiciness, you can replace Dou ban jiang with miso.
※Chicken oil hardens at low temperatures, so if you refrigerate it, pour it over the soup just before eating. (It can be refrigerated for about a month)
-------------------------------------------------------
This is the best chilled ramen made with somen noodles!
I made "Yamitsuki Mugen Soumen".
It has a deep flavor and richness that you can't believe it was made in just 3 minutes, yet it's super light, healthy, and the most addictive soup that you can eat every day and never get tired of.
This is a recipe that I am proud to recommend to everyone who has tried it, and I have been told many times that they have never had such a delicious somen dish♪
It tastes great with just the soup and somen, and of course it tastes great with Chinese noodles too.
It's too easy to make, so please give it a try.
It's really as good as a ramen restaurant♪
It's so amazingly good that it's almost like a drink lol
And if you have time, definitely try making some chicken ham (salad chicken) and chicken oil too!
