If the temperature on the earth continues go up from year to year , the polar ice caps will begain to melt and in all likelihood , half of the buildings in coastal cities will disappear beneath splashing sea waves 如果地球上的温度继续年复一年地上升，极地的冰帽将会开始融化，沿海城市中的一半建筑物很可能会消失在劈啪飞溅的海湾下面。
Is then global warming ? a steady rise in the temperature of the earth to where the polar ice caps melt , oceans rise 23 feet , cities sink into the sea and horrendous hurricanes devastate the land ? an imminent and mortal danger 接下来就是， “全球变暖” ，随着地球温度的稳步升高，导致极地的冰块的融解，海平面将上升23英尺，城市纷纷沉入大海，骇人的飓风在大地肆虐横行， - - -人类不是危在旦夕么？
The cautious approach is a stark change from a few years ago , when wells fargo and other banks sought to cash in on rapidly rising real estate prices by offering unusually low interest rates during the first few years of a mortgage while also lowering the bar to qualify for a loan 现在谨慎的做法和几年前不同，当时富国银行和其他银行为了争夺价值不断攀升的房地产现金，在最初几年中提供了极地的利率和降低贷款资格认证。
In perhaps the most unusual proposal of all , scientists from nasa ' s jet propulsion laboratory ( jpl ) in california are proposing to build a probe that uses heated water jets to descend to depths of up to a hundred meters through the frozen ice caps at the martian poles inn search of organic matter 在或许是最不一般的建议的倡导下，加利福尼亚州航空航天局喷气推进实验室( jpl )的科学家们正在计划建造一台探测器，使用热水射流穿透火星极地的冰帽，深入到100米以下，搜寻有机物质。
