在关于波兰经济的系列报道的第二篇文章中，我们将探讨该国如何与邻国加强联系。在加迪纳斯克海岸两英里外，波兰第一座离岸天然气终端的白色钢桩从深灰色的波罗的海中耸立。这里安装在距海面八米的高度上，浮动起重机和施工船只正处于欧洲能源安全斗争的前线。
In the second article in a series on the Polish economy, we look at how the country is forging closer ties with its neighbours Two miles off the coast of Gdańsk, the white steel piles of Poland’s first offshore gas terminal rise from the slate-grey Baltic. Installed at a height eight metres above the waves, the floating cranes and construction vessels here are on the frontline of Europe’s push for energy security.
自俄罗斯总统普京入侵乌克兰四年前切断俄罗斯天然气供应以来，波兰一直依赖全球能源市场获取供应。但尽管中东战争将石油和天然气价格推至 stratospheric 的水平，使得情况远非理想，但加强该国能源结构多样性仍然是波兰、波罗的海邻国以及整个欧盟的首要任务。
