台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:
Of course, this has detrimental 1 effects on the whole ecosystem 2 of the Arctic ocean while also causing physical trauma 3 and habitat relocation in whales. In terms of sea levels, melting sea ice won't have much of an effect. This is because the floating ice already displaces roughly the same amount of water as it would produce when it melts, so that effect would be negligible.
当然,这对整个北极海生态系统有着破坏性的影响,同时也对鲸鱼群造成身体上的伤害、迫使它们必须重新寻找栖息地。而说到海平面,海洋的融冰其实不会造成太大的影响。这是因为浮冰融化后,取而代之的是等量的水,因此它本身造成的影响几乎可以被忽略掉。
