One sverdrup is a current of 1 million cubic meters passing by per second.

一个斯维尔德鲁普是指每秒流过 100 万立方米的水流。

It carries truly ridiculous amounts of water — some sections have a current of around 10 sverdrups.

它携带着巨大的水量——有些部分的水流约为 10 斯维尔德鲁普。

If you're having trouble picturing that ridiculously big number, one sverdrup is roughly the current of all the Earth's rivers. Combined.

如果你很难想象这个巨大的数字，一个斯维尔德鲁普大约是地球上所有河流的水流的总和。
