里斯本，9月25日——周五，数百名卡车司机在葡萄牙中北部的一条高速公路上组成“慢行”车队，而通勤者则在里斯本的主要桥梁上鸣笛，以抗议不断上涨的燃油成本。
LISBON, Sept 25 - Hundreds of truckers took part in a "go-slow" convoy along a motorway in north-central Portugal on Friday, while commuters blared their horns on Lisbon's main bridge to protest against soaring fuel costs.
由于与伊朗战争相关的供应中断以及与乌克兰战争相关的炼油厂袭击，葡萄牙的燃油价格已创下历史新高。根据欧盟统计局的数据，8月加油站价格同比上涨24%，柴油价格每升超过2欧元（2.28美元）。
Fuel prices have reached all-time highs in Portugal due to supply disruptions related to the Iran war and refinery attacks linked to the war in Ukraine. Prices at the pump increased 24% in August year-on-year, with diesel hitting more than €2 ($2.28) per litre, according to Eurostat data.
卡车在从北部的帕雷德斯到葡萄牙中部城市科英布拉的150公里（93英里）A1高速公路车队中缓慢行驶。示威者要求获得部分退还石油产品税的资格，该税收优惠目前由货运和客运公司享有。
Trucks slowly rolled along the A1 motorway in a 150-km (93-mile) convoy from Paredes in the north to the central Portuguese city of Coimbra. Demonstrators demanded eligibility for the partial refunds of the tax on petroleum products enjoyed by freight and passenger transport companies.
国家广播公司RTP的视频显示，领头卡车悬挂着标语：“今天，卡车停下了——但它们的重要性并未停止。”基础设施和住房部长米格尔·平托·卢兹在卡斯卡伊斯对记者承认，在限制燃油价格上涨影响所采取的措施中，卡车运输业在某种程度上被“忽视了”。
Video from state broadcaster RTP showed a truck leading the convoy bearing a sign reading: "Today, the trucks are stopping — but their importance isn't." Speaking to reporters in Cascais, Minister of Infrastructure and Housing Miguel Pinto Luz acknowledged the trucking industry had been "overlooked in some ways" in the measures taken so far to limit the impact of rising fuel prices.
他承诺审查他们的提案，并安排下周一在部内与该运动的代表会面。
He pledged to review their proposals and scheduled a meeting with the movement's representatives at the ministry next Monday.
在里斯本，通勤者于当地时间早上8点（格林尼治标准时间0700）在穿越连接首都与特茹河南岸工人阶级郊区的4月25日大桥时，发起了鸣笛抗议。
In Lisbon, commuters launched a honking protest at 8 a.m. local time (0700 GMT) while crossing the April 25 bridge, which connects the capital to the working-class outskirts on the southern bank of the Tagus river.
4月25日大桥用户协会发言人阿里斯泰德斯·特谢拉告诉卢萨通讯社，他们呼吁恢复远程办公——这一政策曾在新冠疫情期间临时实施——以及暂停收取通行费和23%的燃油增值税。
They called for the reinstatement of remote working — a policy temporarily applied during the COVID-19 pandemic – as well as the suspension of toll payments and the 23% value-added tax on fuel, Aristides Teixeira, spokesperson of the Ponte 25 de Abril Users' Association, told Lusa.
该组织还要求环境部长玛丽亚·格拉ça·卡瓦略辞职，因她曾发表言论建议市民更慢地驾驶以减少燃油消耗。
The group also seeks the resignation of Environment Minister Maria Graça Carvalho over comments in which she suggested citizens drive more slowly to reduce their fuel consumption.
