新聞挑戰｜Greenland ice sheet on brink of major tipping point, says study

A significant part of the Greenland ice sheet is on the brink of a tipping point, after which accelerated melting would become inevitable even if global heating was halted, according to new research.（節錄自衛報，The Guardian）

Greenland (n.) 格陵蘭

ice sheet (n.) 冰蓋

brink (n.) 邊緣

tipping point (n.) 臨界點

accelerate (v.) 加速

inevitable (adj.) 無法避免的

halt (v.) 停止

A significant part of the Greenland ice sheet is on the brink of a tipping point, after which accelerated melting would become inevitable even if global heating was halted, according to new research.

先找到主詞、動詞，after which，表在那之後，even if補充說明，表就算⋯⋯

這邊一樣可以分成三部分來看

A significant part of the Greenland ice sheet is on the brink of a tipping point,

after which accelerated melting would become inevitable

even if global heating was halted, according to new research.

想好了嗎？翻譯在下面喔！

整段意思是：

根據最新研究顯示，大面積的格陵蘭冰原正瀕臨融化邊緣，一旦過了臨界點，即使全球停止升溫也無法避免加速融冰的發生。

每天一小段，365天後就是365段。希望能讓你們有點成就感，甚至因此喜歡上英文！
