A series of strong El Niño climatic patterns in recent decades, such as the “Godzilla” event currently brewing that is set to warp weather around the world, have been supercharged by the broader overheating of the planet caused by the burning of fossil fuels, a major new study has found.(一项重大新研究发现，近几十年来一系列强烈的厄尔尼诺气候模式，如目前正在酝酿、将扰乱全球天气的“哥斯拉”事件，因化石燃料燃烧导致的全球变暖而加剧。)
一项重大新研究发现，近几十年来一系列强烈的厄尔尼诺气候模式，如目前正在酝酿、将扰乱全球天气的“哥斯拉”事件，因化石燃料燃烧导致的全球变暖而加剧。
El Niño is a naturally occurring phenomenon(现象), taking place every two to seven years, when the waters of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean heat up, causing a cascade of(一连串的) impacts around the world. The latest developing El Niño, set to peak later this year, is set to be the strongest in living memory(在人们的记忆中) and has been informally dubbed(被称为，被戏称为) a “Godzilla” event.
厄尔尼诺是一种自然现象，每两到七年发生一次，此时东热带太平洋水域升温，在全球引发一系列连锁影响。目前正在发展的最新厄尔尼诺现象预计将在今年晚些时候达到顶峰，有望成为人们记忆中最强的一次，并被非正式地称为“哥斯拉”事件。
It’s well understood that El Niño, which typically brings a surge of global heat, further amplifies the escalating climate crisis, with next year almost certain to be the hottest on record globally.(众所周知，厄尔尼诺通常会带来全球热浪，进一步加剧不断升级的气候危机，明年几乎肯定将成为全球有记录以来最热的一年。) But the new research has established that the reverse is also the case(反之亦然): human-caused global heating is making El Niño itself more intense when it does arrive.
众所周知，厄尔尼诺通常会带来全球热浪，进一步加剧不断升级的气候危机，明年几乎肯定将成为全球有记录以来最热的一年。但新研究证实，反之亦然：人为造成的全球变暖正在使厄尔尼诺现象本身在到来时变得更加强烈。
