外媒：科學家警告太陽將在2030年休眠

The Earth could be headed for a 'mini ice age' researchers have warned.
科學家警告稱，地球可能會逐漸進入“小冰河期”。

A new study claims to have cracked predicting solar cycles - and says that between 2020 and 2030 solar cycles will cancel each other out.
據悉，一項新的研究預測出了太陽週期，稱2020年和2030年期間太陽週期會彼此抵消。

This, they say, will lead to a phenomenon known as the 'Maunder minimum' - which has previously been known as a mini ice age when it hit between 1646 and 1715, even causing London's River Thames to freeze over.
他們稱，這回導致一種叫做“蒙德極小期” 的現象，此前出現這種現象是在1646和1715年間發生的小冰河期，甚至導致倫敦的整條泰晤士河都冰凍住了。

The new model of the Sun's solar cycle is producing unprecedentedly accurate predictions of irregularities within the Sun's 11-year heartbeat.
最新的太陽活動週期預測模型能夠準確預測太陽黑子的週期，並釋出了預測太陽每11年心跳不規則活躍期之精準數據。

Predictions from the model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the 2030s to conditions last seen during the 'mini ice age' that began in 1645.
從預測模型中的結論中可歸納，太陽活動會在2030年代掉到只剩40%，就跟上次1645年出現的“小冰河時期”是一樣的。

The model predicts that the pair of waves become increasingly offset during Cycle 25, which peaks in 2022.
同時，預測也說這兩個磁波會造第25太陽週期在2022年顛峯期會造成抵消現象。

During Cycle 26, which covers the decade from 2030-2040, the two waves will become exactly out of synch and this will cause a significant reduction in solar activity.
到了第26太陽週期 ，即2030-2040年間 ，這兩個磁波幾乎就會完全抵消造成太陽活動狀況大大減少。
