This is an ominous sign for climate change, which is contributing to maritime heatwaves across the Atlantic, Pacific and Mediterranean. But, like it or not, it also presents commercial opportunities.

These new commerce pathways will also reshape the geostrategic map.知识点：【a record high】 /ə ˈrekɔːd haɪ/ 固定短语 英文释义：a record high means the highest level or value that has ever been measured or recorded for something本义为"有记录以来的最高点"，数据与统计语境核心义为"打破历史纪录的峰值读数"（本文特指：上月全球海水温度在历年七月的对比中创下最高值——文中特别用"for July"限定比较范围，因夏季海温本就偏高，唯有同月对比才具备统计意义）核心搭配：hit a record high、reach a record high、a record low、an all-time high、at a record high・Copper prices hit a record high after supply disruptions at two major Chilean mines.在智利两座大型矿场供应中断后，铜价创下历史新高。・Youth unemployment reached a record high in the region last quarter, alarming policymakers.上季度该地区青年失业率触及历史峰值，令政策制定者深感忧虑。【节目介绍】  《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。  所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。  【适合谁听】  1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者  2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者  3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者  4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）  【你将获得】  1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景  2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法  3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。
