fire简单

The fact that fires happened so often meant they couldn’t have been severe enough to kill most trees.

火灾发生得如此频繁，这意味着它们不可能严重到足以烧死大部分树木。

Instead, a growing body of research showed that frequent, low-severity fires made many ecosystems healthier.

相反，越来越多的研究表明，频繁的低强度火灾让许多生态系统变得更健康。

In 2022, Swetnam and other scientists teamed up to compile a database of fire-scarred trees from across the continent.

2022年，斯韦特纳姆和其他科学家合作，汇编了一个涵盖整个北美大陆带火疤树木的数据库。

Their North American tree-ring fire-scar network (NAFSN) provided the basis for a study published last month.

他们建立的北美树木年轮火疤网络（NAFSN）为上个月发表的一项研究提供了基础。

In the study, the researchers compared the historical fire cadence with the wildfires recorded over the past few decades, and uncovered a striking shortfall.

在这项研究中，研究人员将历史上的火灾发生节律与过去几十年记录的野火进行了比较，发现了一个惊人的缺口。

The NAFSN sites experienced less than a quarter of the number of fires that would have been expected without fire suppression.

NAFSN各站点经历的火灾次数还不到没有灭火干预情况下预期次数的四分之一。

Some of the trees he analyzed bore more than 20 fire scars among their rings.

他分析的一些树木的年轮中留有20多处火疤。

To prevent entire ecosystems from going up in smoke, Martin said, people must bring healthy fire back to places that need it.

马丁说，为了防止整个生态系统化为灰烬，人们必须把健康的火重新带回需要它的地方。

These fires were carefully planned and intentionally ignited during periods when weather kept the blazes easy to control, and helped eliminate some of the fuel that had built up around the important park’s facilities.

这些火是经过精心规划的，并在天气条件使火势易于控制的时期有意点燃，它们帮助清除了这座重要公园的设施周围积聚的部分可燃物。

Yet even as scientists and public officials increasingly agree on the need for more fires in our forests, climate change is making this tactic more challenging, experts said.

然而专家们表示，尽管科学家和政府官员越来越认同我们的森林需要更多的火，但气候变化正使这一策略变得更具挑战性。

it is urgent to assess the use of planned fires.

评估计划用火的使用迫在眉睫。

For example, type in “Wizard with sword and a glowing orb of magic fire fights a fierce dragon Greg Rutkowski,” and the system will produce something that looks not a million miles away from works in Rutkowski’s style.

例如，输入“手持宝剑和发光魔法火球的巫师大战凶猛巨龙 格雷格·鲁特科夫斯基”，系统就会生成一幅与鲁特科夫斯基风格的作品相差无几的图像。

The personal grievance provisions of New Zealand’s Employment Relations Act 2000 (ERA) prevent an employer from firing an employee without good cause.

新西兰《2000年雇佣关系法》（ERA）中的个人申诉条款禁止雇主在没有正当理由的情况下解雇员工。

As countless boards and business owners will attest, constraining firms from firing poorly performing, high-earning managers is a handbrake on boosting productivity and overall performance.

正如无数董事会和企业主都会证实的那样，限制公司解雇表现不佳的高薪经理，会阻碍生产率和整体业绩的提升。

Because employment protection laws make it costlier to fire an employee, employers are more cautious about hiring new staff.

由于就业保护法使解雇员工的成本更高，雇主在招聘新员工时更加谨慎。

AT&T is often given as the gold standard of a company that decided to do a massive reskilling program rather than go with a fire-and-hire strategy.

AT&T常被视为一家公司决定开展大规模再培训项目、而不采取“解雇再招聘”策略的典范。

an alternative to the fire-and-hire strategy.

“解雇再招聘”策略的替代方案。

[Though] plants lack brains, the firing of electrical signals in their stems and leaves nonetheless triggered responses that [hinted at] consciousness, researchers previously reported.

研究人员此前报告称，尽管植物没有大脑，但其茎叶中电信号的激发仍然引发了暗示意识存在的反应。

[However], the signaling in a plant is only [superficially] similar to the firing in a complex animal brain, which is more than “a mass of cells that communicate by electricity,” Taiz said.

然而，泰兹说，植物中的信号传递与复杂动物大脑中的神经放电只是表面相似，后者远不止是“一团通过电进行交流的细胞”。

Splitting kids, or adults, into ever-tinier categories has proved a sure-fire way to boost profits.

把孩子或成人划分为越来越细的类别，已被证明是提高利润的必胜之道。

But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman's compensation committee; how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked?
