美国有线新闻 CNN 2020年第一场热带风暴亚瑟形成（在线收听）

Which of these seasons runs from June 1st to November 30th? California wildfire season, Australia bushfire season, Atlantic hurricane season or Plains tornado season. These disasters can generally occur at any time of the year but June 1st through November 30th is officially the Atlantic hurricane season.

下列哪个季节从6月1日持续至11月30日？加州野火季、澳大利亚森林大火季、大西洋飓风季还是平原龙卷风季？通常，这些灾害可在一年中的任何时候发生，但6月1日至11月30日是大西洋飓风季。

Case in point, Tropical Storm Arthur which formed this weekend off the coast of Florida. The system was classified as a tropical storm on Saturday night when its sustained wind speed reached 39 miles per hour. Forecasters don't expect Arthur to make landfall as a major hurricane.

例如，热带风暴“亚瑟”本周末在佛罗里达海岸形成。这个系统在周六晚上被归为热带风暴，当时其持续风速达到39英里每小时。天气预报员预计“亚瑟”登陆时不会达到强飓风级别。

It was over relatively cool water yesterday which can keep tropical storms from intensifying. But it does have a chance to get stronger when it passes over the warmer waters of the Gulf stream. Forecasters don't know where it's going to go.

昨天该风暴位于相对凉爽的水域上空，这可以防止热带风暴加剧。但当该风暴经过墨西哥湾较温暖水域时，其确实有机会加强。天气预报员尚不清楚这场风暴的移动方向。

It could spin along the eastern seaboard and bring rain, wind and rip currents up to the Carolinas. From there Arthur might drift farther north and steer toward New York and New Jersey. It might just blow out to sea. Meteorologists say it's not unusual to see storms form before the official start of the hurricane season, but a number of organizations are predicting an active season ahead. The U.S. government's forecast comes out later this week.

它可能沿着东部海岸盘旋，将雨水、大风和急流带到南北卡罗莱纳州。之后，“亚瑟”可能继续向北移动，前往纽约州和新泽西州。它可能吹向海上。气象学家表示，在飓风季正式开始前就有风暴形成的情况并不罕见，但多家机构预测，我们将迎来一个活跃的飓风季。美国政府的预测将于本周晚些时候公布。
