约翰·希利表示，英国政府正在与美国就唐纳德·特朗普威胁停止柴油出口的问题进行谈判。
John Healey said the government is in talks with the US over Donald Trump's threat to stop exports.
据法伊萨尔·伊斯兰和迪尔贝尔·乔丹报道，英国财政大臣约翰·希利向BBC新闻透露，英国正在与美国当局商讨可能实施的柴油出口禁令，并已开始为此做准备。
By Faisal Islam, Dearbail Jordan The UK is in talks with US authorities over a potential stoppage of diesel exports and has started preparing for a ban, Chancellor John Healey has told BBC News.
由于美国与以色列的冲突以及俄罗斯与乌克兰的战争导致的供应压力，英国的柴油价格在周一创下了历史新高。全球范围内的燃料价格都在上涨，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普威胁要禁止柴油出口，他在周末表示：“我们正在认真考虑这一措施。”
Diesel prices in the UK reached a new high on Monday due to supply pressures springing from the US-Israel conflict with Iran and Russia's war with Ukraine. Fuel prices are rising globally and US President Donald Trump has threatened to ban diesel exports, stating at the weekend: "We're thinking about it very seriously."
希利承认英国的柴油价格已经高得离谱，并表示政府正在与美国进行沟通，同时也在为可能出现的紧急情况做准备（即在英国境内储备足够的柴油）。他在利物浦举行的工党年会上表示：“我们与美国保持着密切的合作关系；我们希望共同努力，找到解决问题的办法，或者至少能缓解这一局势——这需要通过外交途径来实现，也就是结束与伊朗的冲突。”
Healey, who admitted that UK diesel prices are "extreme", said the government was in discussions with the US, adding: "We're also making the provision that we may need to and we have our own stocks in the UK." Speaking on the sidelines of the annual Labour Party Conference in Liverpool, Healey said: "We work very closely with the Americans. "In the end, we're also working with the Americans where we can try and put in place what will solve this, or at least significantly ease it, which would be a diplomatic settlement [and] an end to the fighting with Iran."
英国大约三分之一的柴油进口依赖美国；如果美国真的实施禁令，柴油价格将进一步上涨。
The UK depends on the US for around a third of its diesel imports and a ban would send prices even higher.
有美国消息人士称，特朗普正在考虑实施这一禁令，目的是在关键的国会中期选举之前降低国内消费者的燃料成本。
US sources suggest that Trump is considering a ban to attempt to bring down prices for domestic consumers ahead of the critical midterm elections. The BBC has contacted the White House for comment.
据英国皇家汽车协会（RAC）的数据，目前英国每升柴油的平均价格已达到199.18便士，超过了2022年6月俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰后的最高纪录（191.5便士）。汽油价格也在持续上涨，目前每升汽油的价格为174.13便士。
In the UK, the average price for a litre of diesel reached 199.18p, according to the RAC motoring organisation, surpassing a previous high of 191.5p in June 2022 after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Petrol prices are also still rising, with a litre currently costing 174.13p.
过去七个月里，伊朗战争严重扰乱了该地区的石油生产和运输，导致石油制品的价格大幅上涨。
Over the past seven months, the Iran war has severely disrupted the production and transportation of wholesale oil across the region, causing the price of fuels made from oil to surge.
RAC表示，柴油价格已进入“未知领域”，并提醒人们“英国是多么容易受到远方事件的影响”。
The RAC said diesel prices had entered "uncharted territory" and served as a reminder of "just how exposed the UK is to events occurring far away".
希利表示，他在准备10月28日所谓的“喘息空间”预算时，“非常清楚”这些生活成本压力。
Healey said he was "very aware" of these cost of living pressures as he prepared what he called a "breathing space" Budget on 28 October.
保守党政府于2022年首次实施的燃油税冻结将于年底到期。税率定于1月上调3便士，3月再上调2便士。
A freeze on fuel duty, first implemented by the Conservative government in 2022, is due to expire at the end of the year. Duty is scheduled to increase by 3p in January and a further 2p in March.
希利说：“从根本上说，我们需要的是中东问题的解决。我们需要缓解企业成本压力、家庭成本压力以及普通家庭在加油站所承受的压力，目前柴油价格正处于最极端的水平。”
Healey said: "Fundamentally, what we need is a settlement in the Middle East. We need an easing of the pressure of costs on business, the costs on households and on ordinary families that we see at the pumps in the most extreme level today for diesel."
