据预测，今年美国海岸沿线的飓风季将比往年更加活跃。

Another above-average hurricane season is in the forecast for 2022. A prediction issued Thursday by scientists at Colorado State University says there will be at least nineteen named storms and nine hurricanes—four of which will be Category Three or higher. An average season normally has fourteen named storms, around seven hurricanes and three major hurricanes.

2022年的预报是另一个高于平均水平的飓风季节。科罗拉多州立大学科学家周四发布的一项预测称，将至少有19场命名风暴和9场飓风 -- 其中4场将是第三类或更高级别的。一个平均季节通常有14个命名风暴，大约7个飓风和3个主要飓风。

Residents living along the U.S. coastline and in the Caribbean should be prepared for “an above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall” near their homes, researchers said. Hurricane season begins officially in June and lasts through November. “As is the case with all hurricane seasons, coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them,” the researchers said. “They should prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much activity is predicted.”

研究人员说，居住在美国海岸线和加勒比海的居民应该为 “大飓风在他们家附近登陆的概率高于平均水平” 做好准备。飓风季节从6月正式开始，一直持续到11月。研究人员说: “就像所有飓风季节一样，沿海居民被提醒，只需要一场飓风就能登陆，这对他们来说是一个活跃的季节。”“他们应该为每个季节做同样的准备，不管预计会有多少活动。”

The busier-than-average predicted season continues a trend that researchers have seen for some time. Last season, CSU scientists predicted 17 named storms and four major hurricanes. It ended up being the third most active season on record, with 21 named storms. There were seven hurricanes last season—four of which were considered major.

比平均预测更忙的季节延续了研究人员一段时间以来看到的趋势。在上个季节，科罗拉多州立大学的科学家预测了17场命名风暴和4场主要飓风。它最终成为有记录以来第三个最活跃的季节，有21个被命名为风暴。上赛季有七次飓风 -- 其中四次被认为是主要的。
