国际能源署（IEA）署长表示，我们正面临有史以来最大的能源危机。
The head of the International Energy Agency (IEA) says we are facing the biggest energy crisis ever.
超过七个月后，危机仍在继续，且看不到缓解的迹象。美以对伊战争正推动危机升级，已扰乱霍尔木兹海峡的全球航运，该海峡是全球20%石油和液化天然气的关键通道。
More than seven months on, it continues with little relief in sight. The US-Israel war on Iran is driving the crisis, which has disrupted global shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for 20 percent of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas.
这导致燃料价格飙升，供应链中断，并引发对严重能源短缺的担忧。
That has sent fuel prices soaring, interrupted supply chains and raised fears of a serious energy shortage.
IEA执行董事法蒂赫·比罗尔称，全球石油库存正在快速下降。七国集团国家和IEA成员已动用其战略紧急储备。但缓解是短暂的，全球经济仍在承受痛苦。
IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol says global oil stocks are declining fast. G7 countries and members of the IEA have tapped into their strategic emergency reserves. But relief has been short-lived and the global economy is still feeling the pain.
俄乌战争对石油行业施加了额外压力，因为双方都针对对方的能源设施。
The Russia-Ukraine war is putting additional strain on the oil industry, as both countries target each other’s energy facilities.
比罗尔表示，如果中东紧张局势未得到解决，可能对世界经济产生严重后果。他警告称，随着北半球冬季临近，未来数月将充满挑战。
Birol says if tensions in the Middle East are not resolved, it could have serious consequences for the world economy. He warns of challenging months ahead as winter approaches in the Northern Hemisphere.
比罗尔说，能源部门需要时间才能从这场危机中恢复，并承认该行业可能再也不会恢复原状。
Birol says it will take time for the energy sector to recover from this crisis, and he acknowledges the industry will likely never be the same again.
