British people have been urged to have enough food and water on hand to survive a few days without power or water, as the UN said the El Niño climate phenomenon was “supersizing before our eyes”, exacerbating extreme weather events worldwide.(英国人被敦促储备食物和水以应对断电断水，因联合国称厄尔尼诺正在加剧全球极端天气。)
英国人被敦促手头备足食物和水，以便在断电断水的日子里生存数日，与此同时联合国表示，厄尔尼诺气候现象正在“我们眼前扩大”，加剧了全球范围内的极端天气事件。
Forecasters say they are braced(做好准备，迎接（困难）) for the biggest El Niño in 1,000 years, bringing wild(（天气）恶劣的，狂暴的)fires and floods to parts of the world, and the threat of a wet, stormy winter for the UK. As the British government plans a campaign urging citizens to prepare for national emergencies, Angela Eagle told the Guardian the likelihood of(……的可能性) a wild winter showed the importance of keeping supplies at home.
预报员表示，他们已准备好迎接千年一遇的最强厄尔尼诺，这将给世界部分地区带来野火和洪水，并给英国带来潮湿多风暴的冬季威胁。在英国政府计划开展一场敦促公民为国家紧急情况做准备的活动之际，安吉拉·伊格尔告诉《卫报》，恶劣冬季的可能性表明了在家中储备物资的重要性。
The environment secretary said: “We’re about to experience probably the largest El Niño that has ever been seen, and that will lead to drier summers, wetter winters, with more extreme storms in this country. “It will do a lot more damage in Asia with flooding, and therefore I think that we need to take it seriously. “If you’ve got a store of a bit of food that can keep you going for a while before the emergency services can get to you, you’re going to be a lot better off than if you haven’t.(如果你储备了一些食物，能在紧急服务到达前维持生活，你会比没有储备的人好得多。) So some of it is that kind of preparation for just being a bit more resilient(有韧性的，能恢复的).”
环境大臣表示：“我们即将经历的可能是史上最强的厄尔尼诺，这将导致夏季更干燥、冬季更潮湿，我国将出现更多极端风暴。”“它将在亚洲造成更大的洪水破坏，因此我认为我们需要认真对待。”“如果你储备了一些食物，能在紧急服务到达之前维持你一段时间，你的处境会比没有储备的人好得多。所以其中一部分就是为增强韧性而做的准备。”
