Last month was the warmest January on record globally, while in Europe temperatures were a balmy three degrees Celsius above the average January from 1981 to 2010, the European Union's climate monitoring system reported Tuesday.
歐盟氣候監測系統週二報道，上個月是全球有記錄以來最熱的1月份，而歐洲的氣溫比1981年至2010年1月份的平均水平高出溫和的3攝氏度。
Across a band of countries stretching from Norway to Russia, temperatures were an unprecedented 6°C above the same 30-year benchmark, Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported in a statement.
哥白尼氣候變化服務中心(C3S)在一份聲明中稱，從挪威到俄羅斯的一系列國家，氣溫比相同的30年基準高出前所未有的6攝氏度。
New temperature highs - monthly, yearly, decadal - have become commonplace due to the impact of climate change, caused mainly by the burning of fossil fuels, scientists say.
科學家說，由於氣候變化的影響，新的高溫-月、年、十年-已經變得司空見慣，這主要是由化石燃料的燃燒引起的。
The five last years have been the hottest on record, as was the ten-year period 2010-2019.
過去的五年是有記錄以來最熱的五年，2010-2019年的十年也是如此。
2019 - the second warmest year - was only 0.04VC below 2016, when temperatures were boosted by a powerful El Nino, a periodic natural weather phenomenon over the Pacific Ocean.
2019年-第二熱的一年-僅比2016年低0.04攝氏度，當時氣溫因強大的厄爾尼諾現象而升高，厄爾尼諾是太平洋上的一種週期性自然天氣現象。
The global record last month was 0.03VC above the preceding warmest January, also in 2016.
上個月的全球紀錄是0.03攝氏度，比上一個最熱的1月份(也是2016年)高出了0.03攝氏度。
For Europe, last month was "about 0.2°C warmer than the previous warmest January in 2007, and 3.1C warmer than the average January in the period 1981-2010," C3S reported.
據C3S報道，對於歐洲來說，上個月的氣溫“比2007年1月最高的時候高出0.2℃左右，比1981-2010年期間的平均1月高出3.1攝氏度”。
Records also tumbled in specific locations across the northern reaches of the continent.
非洲大陸北部特定地區的記錄也大幅下降。
The village of Sunndalsora in western Norway, for example, hit 19°C (66 Fahrenheit) on January 2, more than 25°C above the monthly average, while the Swedish town of Orebro saw its warmest January day on the 9th since records began in 1858.
例如，挪威西部的Sunndalsora村在1月2日達到19°C(66華氏度)，比月平均水平高出25°C，而瑞典小鎮Orebro在1月9日迎來了自1858年有記錄以來最熱的一天。
Cross-country ski tracks were closed across large swathes of Norway and Sweden.
橫跨挪威和瑞典大片地區的越野滑雪道被關閉。
Exceptional above-average temperatures extended over nearly all of Russia as well, and they were higher than normal over much of the United States, eastern Canada, Japan and parts of eastern China.
俄羅斯幾乎所有地區都出現了高於平均水平的異常氣溫，美國、加拿大東部、日本和中國東部部分地區的氣溫也高於正常水平。
