2024考研英语同源外刊6月:气候变化扼住纽约的咽喉

There is a bulky white structure in my little village by the Hudson river in New York just north of the Bronx. It has a 19th-century solidity to it and, on most days, offers a lovely prospect. As you descend the driveway, you see the flowing Hudson and the verdant hills on the other bank on the way down. Its past lives include stints as a brewery, Bible printer and US Navy office. These days it’s filled with the sorts of niche businesses that suburban New Yorkers need, including a CrossFit studio, co-working spaces and the karate dojo where my younger son trains. I take him on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, listening to him talk on the way there about what he’s going to learn and on the way back about how well he learned.

我住在纽约布朗克斯区北部哈德逊河边的小村庄里，那里有一座庞大的白色建筑。它有一种19世纪的坚固性，在大多数日子里，它提供了一个美好的前景。当你沿着车道往下走时，你会看到流淌的哈德逊河和对岸青翠的山丘。它的前世包括酿酒厂、圣经印刷厂和美国海军办公室。这些天来，它充满了各种专营业务，纽约郊区的人需要这些，包括全面健身工作室，联合办公空间和空手道道场，我的小儿子在那里训练。我在周二和周四晚上带他去，在去的路上听他讲他要学什么，在回来的路上听他讲他学得有多好。

In just a few hours the weather had gone from overcast to smoggy and oppressive. The air felt heavy; a few deep breaths left a slight sting in the throat. This Tuesday’s return conversation was different. “It looks like the world is ending,” he said, getting into the car in his purple-belted uniform.

在短短几个小时内，天气就从阴沉沉的变成了烟雾弥漫，令人压抑。空气感觉很沉重，几次深呼吸在喉咙里留下了轻微的刺痛。本周二和小儿子回家的谈话则有所不同。“看起来世界末日到了，”他说着，穿着他的紫带制服上了车。

Wednesday was worse. Our office is on the 16th storey in East Midtown, and over the course of the day the usually glorious view from the windows had become obscured. When I walked outside to get lunch, more people were masked than unmasked for the first time in a couple of years. The air smelled like an old campfire, smoky and slightly fetid.

星期三更糟。我们的办公室在东中城的16层，在一天的时间里，通常从窗户看到的壮丽景色变得模糊不清。当我出去吃午饭时，戴口罩的人比不戴口罩的人多，这是几年来的首次。空气闻起来像旧篝火，烟雾缭绕，略有恶臭。
