According to a statement last week, unseasonably warm temperatures last fall caused water to breach the entrance to The Global Seed Vault, one of humanity's last hopes in the event of global catastrophe.
根據(jù)上周的一份聲明，去年秋天異常溫暖的天氣導(dǎo)致流水進入了全球種子庫的入口，如果地球毀滅，那么全球種子庫就是人類最后的一份希望。
The so-called "Doomsday" seed vault hidden beneath the icy permafrost of Svalbard, midway between Norway and the North Pole contains more than 500 million seeds from around the globe that could be used to recreate food supplies in case of worldwide agricultural calamity.
所謂的“世界末日”種子庫位于挪威和北極之間斯瓦爾巴特群島上的永久凍土之下，里面裝有來自世界各地的5億多粒種子，如果全球發(fā)生農(nóng)業(yè)災(zāi)難，這些種子可以用來重造糧食供應(yīng)鏈。
Hege Njaa Aschim, a spokeswoman for the management company, Statsbygg, said that seeds were unharmed by the water breach. Aschim went on to say that media headlines citing global warming as the cause of the permafrost melt remain speculation, but that is one of the leading theories scientists are investigating.
管理公司Statsbygg的女發(fā)言人Hege Njaa Aschim說種子并沒有被流水入侵破壞。Aschim還說媒體頭條將此次凍土融化的原因歸為全球變暖，這還有待確定，不過這也是科學(xué)家們正在調(diào)查的主要理論。
