More than 450,000 people are projected(预计、推算) to die from the additional heat(额外的高温) brought by the super El Niño(厄尔尼诺现象) by February, according to estimates by climate scientists.
据气候科学家的估算，到明年2月，超级厄尔尼诺带来的额外高温预计将导致逾45万人死亡。
The toll is on top of the early deaths resulting from temperatures already driven up by the climate crisis.(这一死亡人数还叠加在气候危机已经推高的气温所造成的过早死亡之上。) It will strike(袭击、波及) across the globe, from Indonesia to India, and Nigeria to the US. Many further deaths are expected from the droughts, wildfires and flooding that El Niños bring.
这一死亡人数还叠加在气候危机已经推高的气温所造成的过早死亡之上。它将波及全球，从印度尼西亚到印度，从尼日利亚到美国。厄尔尼诺带来的干旱、野火和洪水预计还将导致更多死亡。
The heat deaths have been estimated at regional level, and the researchers said the projections therefore identified where measures to protect people could be put in place and save lives.(这些高温死亡人数是按地区层面估算的，研究人员表示，因此这些预测能够指出哪些地方可以采取措施保护民众、挽救生命。) Such actions could include better heat forecasts(预报、预测), cooling centres where people can shelter(躲避、避难), increased staffing(人员配备) for medical facilities at the hottest times and protections for outdoor workers.
