Global energy use has been dealt such a huge blow by the coronavirus pandemic that it's like wiping out demand from all of India, a country of 1.3 billion people and the world's third biggest consumer. 新冠疫情给全球的能源行业带来了如此重大的打击以至于，仿佛整个印度所有的能源需求都已经消失了一样，印度是一个拥有十三亿人口的世界上第三大能源消耗国。  That's according to the International Energy Agency, which said in a new report Thursday that demand for energy could crash 6% this year if lockdowns persist for many months and the economic recovery is slow. 这是国际能源局周四的一次报告中所发布的，报告称，如果继续保持封闭几个月，经济恢复持续缓慢的话，今年的全球能源需求会下跌6%。 Such a scenario is "increasingly likely," the IEA said, adding that a drop of that scale would be seven times the size of the decline following the 2008 global financial crisis. 国际能源据称出现这样的情形的可能性越来越大了，还补充道这样的下跌是2008年的全球金融危机带来的下跌的规模的7倍。  Demand for electricity is poised to plunge 5% in 2020, the largest fall since the Great Depression. 2020年的电力需求预计会下跌5%，这是自大萧条时期以来的最大规模下跌。 "This is a historic shock to the entire energy world," Fatih Birol, executive director of the Paris-based agency, said in a statement. “这对全球的能源行业来说，是一次历史性的打击，”法迪·拜罗在一次声明中说道，他是法国能源局的执行主任。 "It is still too early to determine the longer term impacts, but the energy industry that emerges from this crisis will be significantly different from the one that came before." “如今还无法预料长期的影响，但能源行业经过这次危机之后，恐怕再难恢复到以前的水平。” Demand for coal, oil and gas has been slammed as a result of shutdowns aimed at containing the spread of the virus, which have put the brakes on economic activity and brought international air travel almost to a standstill. 随着全球疫情期间的封锁，造成了经济平停摆以及国际航空业的停滞，对于煤炭，石油和天然气的需求均大大下降。  Oil demand in particular could drop 9%, erasing eight years of growth. 其中，原油的需求量下降了9%，抵消了过去八年的增长量。 Only renewable energy has held up, with demand for electricity generated from sources such as solar and wind set to rise by 1% in 2020. 只有可再生能源行业维持稳定，2020年，由太阳能和风力发电所产生的电力需求量增加了1%。 Low operating costs have provided a boost.  运营成本的降低带来了该行业的增长。 问题 文中提到的能源行业中哪一个行业需求在增长？ 留言回复正确答案，前10名朋友可以获得红包奖励哦，赶快来试试吧。 |
