點(diǎn)睛

本句的主干是temperatures rise。As the trade winds lessen in strength為狀語從句；causing...為伴隨狀語，其中flowing in from the east為current的后置定語，flow和current之間為主動關(guān)系；by...為程度狀語。trade wind的意思是“信風(fēng)”。

flow in的意思是“不斷涌入”。如：

The election results flowed in throughout the night. 整夜不斷傳來各項(xiàng)選舉結(jié)果。

warm up此處意思是“使溫度升高”。
