Understanding Tropical Cyclones
- Tropical cyclones, known as hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones, are huge rotating storms with winds that reach over 100 kilometers per hour.
- These storms occur in both the northern and southern hemispheres and have the potential to cause widespread destruction and loss of life.
- The formation of tropical cyclones is influenced by warm water temperatures and the earth's rotation, creating a cycle of air and water vapor movement.

なんとか自力で訳してみたのですが、英語は苦手なので添削をおねがいします。 The goal is to know when and where the next tropical cyclone will form. ゴールは、次の熱帯低気圧がいつどこでできるかについてわかっていることである。 “And we can’t really do that yet, ” says David Nolan, a weather researcher from the University of Miami. 「そして、私たちはまだ現実にそうすることができない」と、マイアミ大学からの天気研究者デービッド・ノーランは言う。 The direction and strength of tropical cyclones are also difficult to predict, even with computer assistance. 方向と熱帯低気圧の強さは、コンピュータ支援でさえ、予測するのが難しくもある。 Three – day forecasts are still off by an average of 280 kilometers. 3日予想は、まだ平均280キロメートル離れている。 Forecasters do know that storms are often energized where ocean water is deep and warm, that high waves tend to reduce their force, and that when tropical cyclones move over land, they begin to die. 海水が深くて暖かい所で、嵐がしばしばエネルギーを与えられ、高い波が嵐の力を減らす傾向があり、熱帯低気圧が土地の上を進むとき、それらが死にはじめるということを、気象予報士は知っている。 Long - term forecasts are poor;small differences in the combination of weather factors lead to very different storms. 長期間、予想は劣っている；天気要因の組合せの小さな違いは全く異なる嵐につながるからである。 More accurate forecasting could help people decide to evacuate when a storm is on way. 嵐が方法であるとき、より正確な予測は人々が避難することに決めるのに役立つことができた。 “People often return after an evacuation to find nothing really happened,” says storm researcher Sharan Majumdar. 「人々は、本当に何も起こらなかったと知るために、避難の後しばしば帰る」と、嵐の研究者Sharan Majumdarは言う。 “The solution is to improve forecasting through better science.That’s the only way to get people to trust the warnings. ” 「解決は、より良い科学を通して予報を改善することになっている。それは、人々に警告を信じさせる唯一の方法だ。」

サイクロンに関する文章を和訳しているのですが， 次の2文だけどうしても訳せないので，どなたか和訳お願いします． The earth’s rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate around its center (called the eye). Forecasters do know that storms are often energized where ocean water is deep and warm, that high waves tend to reduce their force, and that when tropical cyclones move over land, they begin to die.

Dr. Mark Jacobson is a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University. He focuses his research on the causes of atmospheric changes and the most feasible ways of reducing global warming. Aircraft vapor trails (also known as “contrails,” as they are trails of condensed vapor) have long been thought of as being harmful as they have a lot of CO2 and are placed in a fragile part of the atmosphere. Dr. Jacobson and his team made a model that used atmospheric traits such as air composition and cloudiness, and aircraft emission characteristics such as soot. They then gathered data for 2004 and 2006, applied the data to the model, and calculated the warming that was due to commercial flights. After that, they made a nine-year simulation of data beginning from 2004, fine-tuned to the atmospheric conditions in different areas of the world. Their model predicts that vapor trails cause 4-8% of the rise in surface temperatures overall, but perhaps 20% of the warming over the Arctic. The study further suggests that reducing the soot in vapor trails will stop the warming effect those trails create. In addition, the soot-free vapor trails may actually promote a slight cooling effect by preventing the formation of heat-trapping cirrus clouds in some areas. But for now, vapor trails seem to be a big problem. よろしくお願いしますorz

This brought the total casualties to as high as 130,000 men or a third of all Entente forces in the theater. The front was moved by only about 50 kilometers at a heavy price and in the end the offensive did not prevent the defeat of Romania or knock Bulgaria out of the war. The Bulgarians and German casualties totaled around 61,000 men and even though Monastir had to be abandoned the new positions a few kilometers to the north provided excellent conditions for defense and assured the dominance of the Bulgarian artillery over the town.

和訳をお願いします Have you ever wondered why the Earth looks so blue from space? This is because about three quarters of the Earth's surface is covererd by water. This may sound like we have a lot of water to drink. But in reality, only 3 percent of the Earth's water is fresh, and most of it exists as ice. Half of the water which exists as fresh water is found deep under the ground. In all, only about 0.05 percent of the Earth's water is fresh and drinkable. All living things carry water inside their bodies.For example,more than 60 percent of the human body is water.We need about 40 liters of water inside our bodies all the time but we lose some water every day. The water our bodies lose each day is about 2.5 liters. So we constantly need to put back the water we lose. We get water from drinks and the food we eat, such as fruit and vegetables. We need fresh water for our survival, but it is scarce and sometimes difficult to get.

英文の和訳の添削をお願いします。 “Most of our people were focused on getting people off rooｆs and out of the water,” said one police officer. 「われわれ警察のほとんどが、屋根から、そして水から人々をつかまえることに集中した」と、1人の警官が言った。 “There were not enough people in the city to rescue and distribute food and water to those who needed help.” 「救助を必要とした人々に救い、食物と水を配布するのに、十分な人数の人々が都市にいなかった。」 Looting of stores was common. 店からの強奪行為は普通だった。 “I’ve looted,” said Matthew, 35. 「私は盗みをした」と、マシュー（35歳）は言った。 “But only to keep my family and myself alive.They left us here for days without any food or water, like we were just supposed to die. 「しかし、私の家族と自分自身を生きていくためだけだった。我々が水も食べ物もなく、死ぬと思われ、彼らは何日も我々のもとをここから去った。 So we had to loot or die.” だから、我々は盗みをするかもしくは死ななければならなかった。」 A borrowed hotel curtain hung over street signs provided shelter for one large extended family. 街路標識の上に掛けられるホテル借りられたカーテンは、1つの大きな大家族に保護を与えた。 “I was starting to think it was going to be our home forever,” Kenneth, 47, said. 「私は、それが永遠に私たちの家になったと思い始めていた」と、ケニス（47歳）は言った。 “They told us every day that buses were going to take us to shelters. It was just lies and more lies.” 「彼らは、毎日バスが我々を避難所へ運ぼうとしていると私たちに話した。それは、すべてうそだった。」 People lived without running water or toilets as they waited for help. 人々は救助を待ったので、水道水またはトイレなしで生活した。 Dead bodies were left on streets. 死体は、通りの上に残された。 It was days before the government gained control of the city and the remaining people were taken to safety. それは政府が都市の統制を得る前に、残りの人々が安全なところへ連れて行かれた日だった。 Some experts believe that rebuilding New Orleans isn’t a good idea. 専門家には、ニューオリンズを再建することが良い考えでないと信じている者もいる。 Currently, even a hurricane of average strength could cause flooding in the city again. 現在では、平均的な強さのハリケーンでさえ、再び都市で氾濫が起きることがありえた。 Global warming is raising sea levels each year, and to make things worse, the land beneath New Orleans is sinking at a rate of up to 2.5 centimeters a year. 地球温暖化は毎年海面を上げている、また状況を悪くするものとして、ニューオリンズの下の土地は1年につき2.5センチメートルの割合で沈んでいる。 However, despite the risk, two-thirds of the people who left have returned to help rebuild the city they love. 危険にもかかわらず、去った人々の3分の2は、彼らの愛する都市を再建するのを手伝うために戻った。

和訳をお願いします Today, about 10 percent of the world's population does not have enough water. This number may rise to 35 percent in 2025. What is more, water which is used in cities and industrial areas is often affected by pollution. Shortage of fresh water also affects food production. People throughout the world may suffer from serious food shortages in the future. We live in a country where we can get clean water just by turning on the faucet, but we need to try to secure more stable sources of fresh water for everyone in the world.

In one lesson, students apply the principles of mathematics to the study of local wildlife. Younger students count how many kinds of animals drank at the nearby water troughs during the night. Older students measure the amount of water the animals drank, and calculate how much water the animals will need over weeks or months.

Delia and I were zoology students who had come to Africa to start a wildlife research project. After months of searching for the right place, we found the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana. We decided it was an ideal place, so in 1974 we set up our base camp in the reserve. Much of the Central Kalahari was still unexplored because of the heat and lack of water. There were no villages near our base camp. We had to bring our water across the plains from a small town over 150 kilometers away. In an area larger than Ireland, our tiny research team of two and a few groups of native Africans were the only humans. The Kalahari was a difficult place for us to live. And it was difficult for the wild animals, too. They sometimes lived together peacefully, but often fought fiercely to survive. After having observed their way of living, we came to understand what the laws of nature really are. On the Kalahari we were just uninvited guests. It was important for us to leave the plains and the wild animals and plants as they were. (1)Where did Mark and Delia set up their base camp? (2)Why weren’t there many people living in the Central Kalahari? (3)What did they come to understand by watching the animals’ way of life? 打ち間違いをしていたらすいません。 上記の英文を和訳して、(1)(2)(3)の問題には英語で答えてもらいたいです。 お願いします。 ・・・ついでに私の以前の名前はnogarinでした。 saysheさんなら気付いてくださると思います。
