Day 2 2020年3月27日
From TIME [Why a Plague of Locusts Is Threatening Crops in Africa and Beyond]
今天是关于非洲蝗灾的一篇短文笔记。文章较短，摘取了很多原句在这里，方便大家看笔记时也了解一些时事内容。在全球疫情爆发下，蝗灾的治理也堪忧。
Locusts 蝗虫 devour 吞食，耗尽 famine 饥荒 at the risk of 处于危险
the Horn of Africa 非洲之角 非洲东北部地区（亚丁湾南部非洲的最东边的区域）
Over the past few months, massive swarms of [locusts] have [devoured] crops across the Horn of Africa and the Middle East, leaving an estimated 20 million people at risk of [famine].
Hatch 孵化 hatch eggs；unprecedented 空前的
The first generation's eggs are starting to [hatch], and now even bigger swarms are forming, threatening countries from the Democratic Republic of Congo (刚果) to Yemen, Iran, Pakistan, and India, "representing an unprecedented threat to food security and livelihoods", says the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Dense swarms
dense 密集的，swarm一大群，这里就是形容非常多的蝗虫
Desert locusts are usually solitary creatures, but when weather conditions are right, their populations explode. That explosion can create dense swarms that can travel great distances–more than 90 miles in a day–in search of food.
Moist 湿润的 humid，damp
Warm weather and unusually heavy rains in the Horn of Africa at the end of 2019 provided the [moist] soil necessary for hatching eggs. From there, the insects spread rapidly, resulting in one of the worst outbreaks the region has seen in more than 70 years.
Resort to 寻求--，诉诸于-
Spray 喷雾，喷洒
Handheld spray pumps 手持喷雾器
Scarce 缺乏的
Clang 铛,敲
Some swarms have been so thick in parts of Kenya that they have prevented planes from taking off. Governments have [resorted to] widespread aerial spraying of pesticides when available; in poorer regions, where aircraft are scarce, soldiers battle the swarms with [handheld spray pumps], while farmers attempt to drive them away by clanging pots and pans.
Hinder 阻碍
Scientists in Kenya hope a new computer-assisted tracking program that combines satellite data with weather-mapping software will help predict the swarms' next destination, buying regional authorities enough time to prepare a response. But coronavirus-related travel restrictions have [hindered] relief efforts as well as response mechanisms. The locusts have no such travel limitations.
