What is the North American heat dome and how dangerous is it?
什麼是北美"熱蓋現象",並且有多危險呢?
Tract 大片土地
Sweltering 熱極了
Atmospheric Pressure 大氣壓力
Heat Wave 熱浪
Heatstroke 中暑
Delirium 神智不清/語無倫次
Seizure 癲癇發作
Susceptible 易受影響
Huge tracts of North America are sweltering under very high temperatures, which are close to 50ºC in some places. The phenomenon behind this weather is known as a heat dome and the one that's currently settled across parts of Canada and the US is feared to have caused the death toll to rise in British Columbia.
一大片的北美地區在高溫之下熱得難受,有些地方接近攝氏50度。這種天氣現象稱作"熱蓋現象",而且目前在加拿大和美國部分地區出現的"熱蓋現象",可能導致不列顛哥倫比亞省的死亡人數上升。
1. What is a heat dome and what causes it?
1.什麼是”熱蓋現象”而什麼會引起?
There are two things that contribute to a heat dome – atmospheric pressure and rising sea temperatures.
有兩個因素會導致"熱蓋現象"-大氣壓力和不斷上升的海水溫度。
2. What effect is the heat dome having?
2.”熱蓋現象”會導致什麼結果?
One of the biggest health risks in a heat wave such as this one is heatstroke. Unless detected and treated promptly, heatstroke can lead to many serious problems including damage to the brain, heart, muscles and internal organs. Commonly accompanied by feelings of confusion and delirium, heatstroke can trigger seizures and lead to comas, brought on by swelling of the brain and organs.
像這樣的熱浪中,最大的健康風險之一就是中暑。除非及時發現並治療,中暑可能會導致許多嚴重問題,包括對大腦、心臟、肌肉和內臟器官的損害。通常還會伴隨意識模糊和語無倫次,中暑也會因為大腦和器官腫脹,進而引發癲癇發作並造成昏迷。
Older people are more susceptible to heatstroke, as the body’s ability to regulate heat deteriorates with age.
隨著年紀增長,身體調節熱能的能力會下降,因此老年人更容易中暑。

During our walk, we discuss the advantages of living in Taiwan, and what we miss most about home. We wonder whether it's possible for us to visit home, and reminisce about family, being homesick, and cold weather in Canada.

Atletico Madrid vs MLS All Stars Highlights & Goals 2019
Atletico Madrid rode goals by Marcos Llorente, Joao Felix and Diego Costa to beat an MLS All-Star squad comprised of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wayne Rooney and most of the league’s other top players Wednesday night at Exploria Stadium.
Here are three quick thoughts on the match:
The MLS All-Star Game itself was a dud
As far as all-star games go, this one lacked the pizzazz of the last two versions, which were played in packed NFL stadiums against clubs with higher international profiles.
The weather delay set the tone for the evening. Once the contest was finally underway, chances were few and far between for both teams.
Atleti’s Angel Correa got the game’s first opportunity early on, only to slice his open 10-yard shot well wide of Brad Guzan’s goal. But it took almost 20 minutes for the next one to materialize, when Rooney sent a screamer from distance just over Antonio Adan’s crossbar.
Replays confirmed Rooney’s argument that Adan got a fingertip to the effort, but referee Drew Fischer was unmoved.
The play for both teams remained disjointed, before and after Llorente beat Philadelphia Union keeper Andre Blake (who had replaced Guzan) just before halftime.
The home side fared better following the intermission, with LAFC’s Diego Rossi, Seattle’s Nicolas Lodeiro, Atlanta United pair Ezequiel Barco and Pity Martinez and World Cup-winning Chicago Fire center back Bastian Schweinsteiger all going close before Felix put the game away with five minutes to go.
As the traditional celebration of the league’s best players, the All-Star game still served its purpose. Local fans among the 25,527 in attendance enjoyed cheering hometown hero Nani and booing Guzan and his Atlanta teammates mercilessly. They saw a peach of a goal by Felix — even if goalkeeper Nick Rimando could’ve done better — and one by Costa, one of the European game’s best-known forwards.
Besides, in many ways the contest is secondary. All-Star week is a celebration of the domestic league itself, one that continues to produce news and buzz, two things MLS still struggles to do on a regular basis, during a relatively quiet time on the sporting calendar in the United States and Canada.
That’s important to remember, even on a night when MLS’s All-Star triumphs over the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Bayern Munich earlier this decade seemed like a distant memory.
