图集：欧洲遭遇极端高温，酷热颠覆日常生活
The commuters who clutched hand-held fans as they trudged through stiflingly hot London underground stations found little relief on Wednesday. Parisians dangled their legs in public fountains, desperate for a way to cool down. In Vatican City, sweat beaded on the foreheads of people gathered for a papal audience in St. Peter’s Square.
周三，在闷热不堪的伦敦地铁站里，手里抓着便携风扇艰难前行的通勤者们几乎没有感到任何凉意。巴黎人把双腿泡在公共喷泉里，不顾一切地寻找降温的方法。在梵蒂冈城，聚集在圣伯多禄广场参加教宗接见活动的人们额头上渗出了密集的汗珠。
Extreme heat is becoming Europe’s new summer normal, even in parts of the region, like Britain, where it was once a rarity. Countries ill-equipped to deal with the soaring temperatures are struggling to cope, with aging infrastructure and a scarcity of air-conditioning. Across the continent, the heat is upending daily life.
