作为支撑全球经济的重要燃料，当前全球柴油市场面临着前所未有的巨大压力。中东和乌克兰地区的冲突引发了连锁反应，导致原本供应全球近三分之一柴油出口量的地区无法正常发货。
The global market for diesel, the fuel that powers much of the economy, has never been under so much pressure. Wars in the Middle East and Ukraine have created a perfect storm, blocking shipments from regions that normally supply almost a third of the world’s diesel exports.
这种供应紧张的局面促使美国及全球各地的柴油价格大幅上涨，给各类企业、农民和普通家庭带来了沉重负担。正因如此，特朗普政府甚至考虑实施出口限制或全面禁止出口，以期控制油价上涨势头。
The crunch has sent prices surging in the U.S. and around the world, squeezing businesses, farmers and households. That prompted the Trump administration to consider restrictions or an outright ban on exports to curb prices.
