(单词翻译:单击)

The observatory1 said there will be still no effective precipitation in the coming two days in provinces and municipalities along the lower and middle reaches of the Yangtze River and dry weather will continue to develop in spite of scattered2 drizzle3.

气象台预报称,长江中下游沿岸省市近两天仍无有效降水,尽管有零星小雨,但仍将持续干旱。

文中的effective precipitation就是指“有效降水”,指的是natural precipitation(自然降水)中实际补充到植物根层土壤水分的部分。降雨开始时,最初一部分雨量被植物枝叶所截留,称为plant interception4(植物截留量)。超过植物截留量才落于地面,开始被土壤吸收。当降雨强度超过infiltration rate(入渗率)时,开始产生surface runoff(地面径流)。

目前,中央气象台对南方旱情发布yellow alert(黄色预警)。相关部门紧急调用emergency water sources(应急水源),首先确保drought-hit regions(受旱地区)的居民生活用水。此外,有关部门还调高了risks of forest fires(森林火险等级)。
