双语:新研究称太阳活动频繁使地球变冷

According to the Telegraph on October 6, an increase in solar activity from the Sun actually cools the Earth, suggests a new research that will renew the debate over the science behind climate change. The research overturns traditional assumptions about the relationship between the Sun and global warming.
据英国《每日电讯报》10月6日报道：新研究表明，太阳活动趋于频繁事实上让地球变冷。这一研究将使关于气候变化背后科学原理的辩论重新开始。这项研究颠覆了关于太阳与全球变暖之间关系的传统假设。

The findings focused on a three-year snapshot of time between 2004 and 2007. As solar activity waned at the end of one of the Sun's 11-year cycles, the new data shows the amount of light and heat reaching the Earth rose rather than fell. Scientists also believe it may also be possible that during the next upturn of the cycle, when solar activity increases, there might be a cooling effect at the Earth's surface.
这项研究的时间范围是2004年到2007年。太阳活动的周期是11年。新数据表明，在一个周期末期太阳活动趋弱时，抵达地球的光与热的量增加而不是减少了。科学家们相信，在周期的下一个上升期，也就是在太阳活动趋于频繁时，可能会对地球表面产生冷却效应。

Over the past century, overall solar activity has been increasing and should therefore cool the Earth, yet global temperatures have increased.
就总体而言，太阳活动是在增强，因此，原本应该让地球变冷，然而，全球气温却升高了。

Professor Joanna Haigh, from Imperial College London, who led the study, said: "These results are challenging what we thought we knew about the Sun's effect on our climate. However, they only show us a snapshot of the Sun's activity and its behavior over the three years of our study could be an anomaly."
这项研究的带头人、帝国理工学院的乔安娜-黑格教授说：“这些研究成果对我们原本在太阳对全球气候的影响方面的所知提出来质疑。然而，这些研究只是向我们展示了很短一段时间内的太阳活动情况，太阳在我们的研究所覆盖的这3年内的活动可能是一种反常现象。”

"We need to carry out further studies to explore the Sun's activity and the patterns that we have uncovered on longer timescales." She said.
她说：“我们需要对太阳活动以及较长时期内的活动模式进行进一步研究。”
