||1: Living alone is easy enough for the young and solvent; less so for the elderly, frail and poor. ||2: Mr Klinenberg came to this story while working on a book about the lethal Chicago heatwave of 1995, when hundreds of people died alone at home, out of touch with friends and neighbours. ||3: The trend for solo living can too easily morph into social isolation, particularly for men, who are less adept than women at making and sustaining connections. ||4: Other bugbears include loneliness, discrimination (in the workplace, the tax code and so on) and workaholism. ||5: Ageing single adults—a fast-growing group—complain that there are few decent, affordable alternatives to withering away.

||1:SPIKES in demand for power and unexpected dips in supply have plagued electricity generators and their customers for decades.||2:The solutions have been crude.||3:More than a decade ago North American power companies started paying big consumers to switch off machines and devices to ease the load on creaking grids.||4:In 2003 French producers did the same to cope with a heatwave .

||1:激增的电力需求以及意想不到供给匮乏已经困扰了电力供应商及其客户数十年之久。||2:并且他们的解决方案原始而粗鲁。||3:十多年前北美电力公司开始赔付大的客户用以关闭机器以及设备从而能够缓解勉强运转的电网压力的金额。||4:在2003年的时候法国的生产商为了应付反常的高温也做了同样的事情。

But as the United States bakes in what may turn out to be a record heatwave , he hopes he might now persuade those for whom global warming is, as it were, on the back burner, to agree that it is real, and to think about the consequences.

Some of that scepticism is connected with the fact that although changes in the climate will inevitably result in changes in the weather, ascribing any given event—such as a local heatwave —to climate change is impossible.
