245. As the trade winds lessen in strength, the ocean temperatures rise, causing the Peru current flowing in from the east to warm up by as much as 5℃.

译文

随着信风强度的减弱，海洋温度升高，导致从东部流过来的秘鲁洋流温度升高5摄氏度。

点睛

本句的主干是temperatures rise。As the trade winds lessen in strength为状语从句；causing...为伴随状语，其中flowing in from the east为current的后置定语，flow和current之间为主动关系；by...为程度状语。trade wind的意思是“信风”。

flow in的意思是“不断涌入”。如：

The election results flowed in throughout the night. 整夜不断传来各项选举结果。

warm up此处意思是“使温度升高”。
