Para.1

You are already paying more and more for food due to global warming – and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study done incollaborationwith the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will bepushing upworldwide food prices by between 0.9 and 3.2 per cent every single year. This will add between 0.3 and 1.2 per cent to overallinflation.

由于全球变暖，你已经为食品支付了越来越多的费用，而气温上升将在未来十年推动食品价格大幅上涨。根据与欧洲央行合作进行的一项研究，到2035年，仅气温升高就将导致全球食品价格每年上涨0.9%至3.2%。这将使总体通胀率增加0.3%至1.2%。

Para.2

Warming-fuelled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world and if farmers don’t adapt, the losses will become ever more serious as the world continues toheat up. To find out how this is affecting food prices, Kotz and his colleagues compared data on the monthly prices of a range of goods and services in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021,along withthe weather conditions those countries were exposed to.

全球气候变暖导致的极端天气正日益影响着全球粮食生产，如果农民不采取适应措施，随着世界温度继续上升，损失将变得更加严重。翻译划线句，在文末留言打卡，答案下期公布~

Para.3

The researchers looked forcorrelationsbetween food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, the temperaturevariabilityand measures of drought and extremerainfall. They found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later.

研究人员寻找食品价格与月平均温度、温度变化、干旱和极端降雨等因素之间的相关性。他们发现平均气温和一个月左右之后的食品价格之间有很强的联系。

Para.4

In regions north of 40 degrees – thelatitudeof New York City, Madrid and Beijing – warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But in summer and at all timesin the rest ofthe world, above-average temperatures increased food prices. What is more, the effects on prices arelong-lasting. “Once the prices have increasedon the basis ofone of these shocks, they stay higher for at least the rest of the year,” says Kotz.

在北纬40度以北的地区，如纽约、马德里和北京，冬季温度高于平均值会导致食品价格下降。但在夏季以及世界其他地区的任何时间，高于平均温度都会推高食品价格。此外，价格受到的影响是长期的。“一旦价格在受到其中一种冲击后上涨，价格会一直保持较高水平，至少持续到年底，”科茨说。

Para.5

Factors such as extreme rainfall had lessimpact onfood prices than average temperatures, says Kotz. This may be because flooding tends to be localised, whereas above-average temperatures can be very widespread. Other studies have reached similar conclusions, says Kotz. However, his team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model projections. In the team’sworst-caseemissionsscenario, global food inflation due to climate change exceeds 4 per cent per year by 2060. However, many other factors could change by then, so the team regards its projections for 2035 as more reliable.

科茨表示，诸如极端降雨之类的因素对食品价格的影响比平均温度要小。这可能是因为洪水往往是局部的，而高于平均水平的温度可以造成非常广泛的影响。科茨表示，其他研究也得出了类似的结论。然而，他的团队进一步研究了基于气候模型预测的平均温度上升，可能对食品价格造成什么变化。在团队设想的最坏排放的情况下，到2060年，由于气候变化导致的全球食品通货膨胀每年超过了4%。然而，到那时许多其他因素可能会发生变化，因此团队认为其对2035年的预测更可靠。
