今年6月是历年来温度第三高的6月，这也使得2017年成为连续第三个史上最热年份。
Last month was the third-warmest June in history, putting 2017 on track to make a hat-trick of the hottest years on record.
有专家表示，现在“几乎已经确定”2017年将成为连续打破全球气温纪录的第三个年头。
Experts said it is now 'almost certain' that 2017 will become the third year in a row to break global temperature records.
数据显示，如今全球变暖的程度是115000年来从未出现过的，几乎不可能像专家期望的那样将全球气温上升范围控制在2摄氏度以内。
The figures confirm that global warming is now at levels not seen for 115,000 years, leaving experts with little hope of limiting warming to global targets of 2 C.
根据最新气温数据，2017年上半年气温仅低于2016年，为地球气温记录史上第二热的年份。
The first half of 2017 was the second warmest on record for Earth, behind only last year, according to new temperature data.
美国国家海洋和大气管理局7月19日宣布，地球一月至六月的平均气温为14.4摄氏度，相较20世纪的气温平均值上升0.9摄氏度。
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced last Wednesday that Earth's average temperature from January to June was 14.4 C, which is 0.9 C warmer than the 20th century average.
墨西哥大部分地区、欧洲西部、俄罗斯东部、非洲东部以及中国东部的高温均创下纪录。
Record warmth was measured in much of Mexico, western Europe, eastern Russia, eastern Africa and eastern China.
从全球范围来看，今年6月是自1880年有气温记录以来温度第三高的6月，仅低于2015年和2016年的6月气温。
Globally, June was the third warmest on record in records going back to 1880, beaten only by the two preceding Junes in 2015 and 2016.
美国国家航空航天局（NASA）近日公布的数据显示，今年6月是有记录以来的温度第四高的6月。这与上文提到的数据基本相符。
The figures align closely with NASA data released recently, which found that the June of this year was the fourth-hottest on record.
NASA的气候数据采用了不同的计算方法，其结果显示1998年6月的气温要比今年6月稍高一些。
NASA climate data is calculated in a different way, and found that the June of 1998 was marginally warmer than this year.
基于以上结论，美国宇航局戈达德航空研究所所长加文?施密特说，“几乎已经确定”2017年将跻身史上最热前三甲了。
Based on these results, Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said that 2017 will 'almost certainly' be among the top three hottest years.
他在推特上说：“截止到今年6月，几乎可以肯定，2017年将成为戈达德航空研究所气温记录史上最热的三年之一（有57%的概率会是第二热的年份）。”
'With update to June, 2017 will almost certainly be a top 3 year in the GISTEMP record (most likely 2nd warmest ~57% chance),' he said on Twitter.
宾夕法尼亚州立大学的迈克尔?曼此前发表的一篇研究报告显示，最近的高温天气不太可能是正常现象。
Michael Mann, from Pennsylvania State University, has previously published research showing that recent record temperatures have less than a one in a million chance of occurring naturally.
“我们在后续提交的一篇文章中提到，2015至2017年连续三年打破高温纪录，这种情况的可能性是微乎其微的，” 迈克尔?曼在接受《卫报》采访时说。
'We have a follow-up article that we've submitted showing that the likelihood of three consecutive record-breaking years such as we saw in 2015-2017 was similarly unlikely,' he told the Guardian.
“简而言之，人类活动造成的全球变暖是近年来连续创高温纪录的唯一解释。”
'In short, we can only explain the onslaught of record warm years by accounting for human-caused warming of the planet.'
