34、来源于西班牙语，原意为“圣婴”。19世纪初，在南美洲的厄瓜多尔、秘鲁等西班牙语系的国家，渔民们发现，每隔几年，从10月至第二年的3月便会出现一股沿海岸南移的暖流，使表层海水温度明显升高。南美洲的太平洋东岸本来盛行的是秘鲁寒流，随着寒流移动的鱼群使秘鲁渔场成为世界三大渔场之一，但这股暖流一出现，性喜冷水的鱼类就会大量死亡，使渔民们遭受灭顶之灾。由于这种现象最严重时往往在圣诞节前后，于是遭受天灾而又无可奈何的渔民将其称为上帝之子圣婴。后来，在科学上此词语用于表示在秘鲁和厄瓜多尔附近几千公里的东太平洋海面温度的异常增暖现象。当这种现象发生时，大范围的海水温度可比常年高出36摄氏度。太平洋广大水域的水
