时差N小时 什么是太阳能龙卷风(下)

（单词翻译）

The gasses drag magnetic fields and electrical currents in their wake, carrying them into the star’s high atmosphere.

这些气体拖动其后的磁场与电流，将其带入太阳的高层大气中。

Now, earthly tornadoes¹ are noteworthy for the material damage they can cause.

如今，地球龙卷风因破坏建筑而引发人们关注。

While solar tornadoes are no threat to trailer parks, they may be implicated² in other sorts of mayhem.

虽然太阳能龙卷风不会对房屋建筑构成威胁，但它们可能会引起其它危害。

Scientists believe that solar tornadoes often occur in conjunction with a coronal mass ejection when a part of the sun’s atmosphere breaks off and jets through space.

科学家们认为，当部分太阳大气层分流并向太空喷射时，太阳能龙卷风经常伴随着日冕物质喷射。

These ejections cause solar storms that can make satellites go on the fritz and even affect the earth’s electrical grid³.

这些喷射会引发太阳能风暴，而太阳能风暴可致卫星故障甚至影响覆盖地球的电网。

So the more scientists understand about what causes solar tornadoes and how they work, the better able they may be to predict solar storms that can damage man made technology.

因此，科学家们了解太阳能龙卷风形成原因及作用过程的知识越多，他们就能对这一破坏人造科技的太阳能风暴作出更精准的预测。
