周复一周，世界持续体验着这场已是历史上最严重能源危机之一的严峻性。国际能源署执行干事法提赫·比罗尔数月来坚持认为，目前石油和天然气供应的中断比1973年和1979年的石油危机时期更为严重。不幸的是，如果这场危机持续拖延，短缺已无法排除。此外，危机不仅限于汽油和柴油，还波及化肥和石化行业。
Week after week, the world continues to experience the severity of what is already one of the most serious energy crises in history. Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, has maintained for months that the current disruption in oil and gas supplies is more serious than during the oil crises of 1973 and 1979. Unfortunately, shortages can no longer be ruled out if this crisis drags on. Moreover, the crisis is not limited to gasoline and diesel but also affects the fertilizer and petrochemical sectors.
正如法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙在9月24日星期四的电视采访中所解释的，从亚洲到欧洲，各国政府都被要求拿出一切可用手段进行应对。尽管法国可以依靠核电站发电，但其公共财政状况不允许其像一些欧洲邻国那样有力支持消费者。
As French President Emmanuel Macron explained in his televised interview on Thursday, September 24, from Asia to Europe, governments everywhere are being called upon to respond with whatever means they have at their disposal. Even though France can rely on its nuclear power plants for electricity production, the state of its public finances does not allow it to support consumers as well as some of its European neighbors.
燃油价格的暴涨显然加重了生活成本，引发了马克龙所说可以理解的愤怒。然而，这种愤怒不应掩盖这样一个事实：事态的成因不在巴黎、罗马或柏林，而在华盛顿。
This drastic rise in fuel prices, which obviously weighs on the cost of living, has fueled an anger that Macron said is understandable. However, that anger should not obscure the fact that the cause of the situation is not in Paris, Rome, or Berlin, but in Washington.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普和以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡于2月28日鲁莽决定袭击伊朗，启动了导致伊朗政权封锁霍尔木兹海峡的机制。胡塞武装如今对中东另一战略通道——曼德海峡构成的威胁，是这场战争的直接后果，而世界上最强大的军队迄今仍未能赢得这场战争。
The reckless decision by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to attack Iran on February 28 set in motion the mechanism that led the Iranian regime to block the Strait of Hormuz. The threats now posed by Houthi rebels to the other strategic passage in the Middle East, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, are a direct consequence of this war, which the world's most powerful military has so far been unable to win.
特朗普不仅满足于引发这场灾难，现在还不排除通过考虑禁止出口美国生产的柴油来使情况恶化，希望在敏感的中期选举前夕降低价格。欧洲将遭受重创。
Not content with having triggered this disaster, Trump now does not rule out making it worse by considering a ban on exporting diesel produced in the United States, in the hope of lowering prices just before sensitive midterm elections. Europe would be hard hit.
