年全國平均氣溫創歷史新高
Meteorological authorities say 2015 was the warmest year on record in China, partly due to a powerful El Nino.
近日，氣象部門表示，由於強烈的厄爾尼諾現象等原因，2015年已成爲我國有記錄以來最暖的年份。The average temperature last year was 10.5 degrees Celsius, nearly a full degree higher than the average historical level since 1951.
2015年我國平均氣溫爲10.5℃，比1951年以來的歷史平均溫度偏高了近1℃。10 of the country's 31 provincial-level regions recorded their warmest year on record last year.
在全國31個省級地區中，有10個地區的去年平均氣溫爲歷史同期最高。
Chao Qingchen, the vice director of the National Climate Center says China needs to be concerned about the extreme weather caused by El Nino.
中國國家氣候中心副主任巢清塵表示，中國需要關注由厄爾尼諾引起的極端天氣。"The El Nino in 1997 and 1998 actually caused severe rainstorms and floods in the majority of areas along the Yangtze River in southern China. So we still need to pay close attention to this kind of extreme weather, especially the heavy rains and floods."
"1997、1998年的厄爾尼諾現象在中國南方長江流域大部分地區造成了暴雨和洪災。所以我們要對這種極端天氣多加警惕，尤其是雨災和洪水。"2015 was also the warmest year globally in the last 135 years.
在全球範圍內，2015年也是135年以來最暖的一年。
