2011-05-24来源:国际在线
  In February, astronomers warned that mankind is now more vulnerable to such an event than at any time in history - and that the planet should prepare for a global Hurricane Katrina-style disaster.

  在今年二月份时,有多名天文学家都警告称,人类现在要比历史的任何一个时候都更加脆弱,面对太阳风暴,我们必须做好万全准备,以应对这一场全球性的卡特里娜飓风灾难。

  A massive eruption of the sun would save waves of radiation and charged particles to Earth, damaging the satellite systems used for synchronising computers, airline navigation and phone networks.

  在大规模的太阳风暴爆发时,太阳将向地球释放大量的射线与带电粒子,人造卫星将遭到破坏,通行将被中断,并引发飞机航班停飞,全球的电话通行网络也将受到影响。

  If the storm is powerful enough it could even crash stock markets and cause power cuts that last weeks or months, experts told the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

  若太阳风暴为例过于强大,这甚至会引发全球股市下挫,电力供应告急,时间将持续数周或者数个月。
