Australian scientists have made the alarming discovery that sea levels have risen more in the past century than at any other comparable period in the past 6,000 years.
日前，澳大利亚科学家取得了惊人的发现，在过去的一个世纪里，海平面上升的高度比过去6000年中的任何一个时期还要高。
Researchers from the Australian National University, based in Canberra, say that the 20-centimetre rise in sea levels since the start of the 20th century was unprecedented. The rise was caused largely by global warming and the melting of polar ice.
澳大利亚国立大学研究人员称，自20世纪以来，海平面上升了20厘米，这是空前的。导致海平面上升的主要原因是温室效应以及极地冰的融化。
The ANU study is a lengthy analysis of historical sea level trends. It found that levels have remained steady for thousands of years before rapid rises over the past 150 years, since global industrialization.
澳大利亚州立大学开展的这项研究，历时漫长，它是项分析海平面的历史趋势的研究。研究发现，在过去的150年中，也就是自全球工业化开始以后，海平面的上升便加剧了，但在此之前，海平面已保持了数千年的稳定。
The study found that the sea level has been quite stable in the last 6,000 years before the modern onset of sea level rise. The study has been described as the most comprehensive of its kind looking at the period.
研究发现，在海平面上升之前的6000年里，海平面一直相当稳定。该研究被称为是当代业内最全面的研究。
The scientists say the sea levels will continue to rise for some centuries to come even if carbon emissions are kept at present day levels.
科学家称，即使碳排放量保持在当今水平，在未来的几个世纪内，海平面仍会持续上升。
