七国集团（G7）于周五宣布，未来几个月将释放1亿桶石油及燃料产品，首批释放的将是大量柴油。此次举措是在全球石油供应紧张的背景下实施的，而供应紧张的主要原因就是霍尔木兹海峡的石油运输出现放缓。
The Group of Seven (G7) countries said Friday that the nations would release 100 million barrels of oil and fuel products in the coming months, starting with “substantial” amounts of diesel. The move comes amid a global shortage largely attributed to slowdowns of the passage of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
由加拿大、法国、德国、意大利、日本、英国和美国组成的G7在联合声明中确认，国际能源署将在未来四个月内负责协调此次石油储备的释放工作。
A joint statement from the G7 nations—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.—confirmed that the International Energy Agency (IEA) will coordinate the release over the next four months.
声明指出，鉴于伊朗战争以及近期俄乌冲突升级导致燃料价格创下历史新高，此举属于“为稳定当前能源供应而采取的果断且协调一致的应对措施”。
It calls the move a part of “decisive, coordinated measures to stabilize immediate energy supplies” amid record-high fuel prices driven by the war in Iran and the recent escalation of fighting between Russia and Ukraine.
