Florida is having one of the worst orange harvesting seasons in the state's history thanks to hurricanes and bad weather.
由于飓风和恶劣的天气，佛罗里达州面临历史上最糟糕的橙子采收季节之一。

Florida's orange industry hit an all-time peak in 1998, but since then, numbers haven't been so great. And part of that is because of Huanglongbing.
佛罗里达州的橙子产业在1998创下了历史高峰，但从那时起，就没有那么厉害。其中一部分是因为黄龙病。
Huanglongbing is a citrus disease that orange trees catch from Asian citrus psyllids. When the bug bites the plant, bacteria overtakes and kills them.

The disease was first detected in Florida in 2005. Since then, orange production has mostly gone down.
该病于2005在佛罗里达州首次发现。从那时起，橙子的产量大部分下降。
And this year, hurricanes have reportedly spread the pathogen across the state. So rather than hiking up prices to make up for a revenue deficiency, orange producers are having to get creative.
今年，飓风已经在全州传播病原体。因此，与其通过涨价来弥补收入的不足，橙子农户必须想出新点子。
Brands like Tropicana and Minute Maid are reportedly making cartons smaller and mixing orange juice with other fruits and water.
