GRE阅读真题第76段

In most coastal regions, the level of the sea is rising in relation to the land by one to two millimeters a year, and this trend would be explained by the hypothesis that at the North and South Poles, the amount of ice that melts during the summer now exceeds the amount forms during the winter. The hypothesis is not undermined by observations that sea levels are falling relative to the Scandinavian coast by four millimeters a year. Much land in northern latitudes, including Scandinavia, is still rising in response to being freed of the enormous weight of the ice that used to cover it during the last ice age, and in Scandinavia the land is now rising faster than the sea.

GRE阅读文章解析

第一句：

白话版讲解：

在大部分的沿海区域，以陆地的高度为基础，海平面每年会上升 1-2 毫米。这个趋势可以用某个假说来进行解释，即在北极和南极地区，冰川在夏天时融化的量超过了其在冬天形成的量。

第二句：

The hypothesis is not undermined by observations that sea levels are falling relative to the Scandinavian coast by four millimeters a year.

白话版讲解：

这个假说并没有被某个被观察到情况削弱。观察到的情况是，Scandinavia 沿海区域的海平面高度，和陆地高度相比，以每年 4 毫米的速度下降。

第三句：

Much land in northern latitudes, including Scandinavia, is still rising in response to being freed of the enormous weight of the ice that used to cover it during the last ice age, and in Scandinavia the land is now rising faster than the sea.

白话版讲解：

很多北纬地区（包括 Scandinavia）的陆地海拔在升高，因为在上个冰河世纪的时候，这些地方的陆地上被冰覆盖，而现在冰没有了，所以陆地海拔上涨了。而且在 Scandinavia，陆地海拔上升的速度比海平面上升的速度更快。
