energy crunch 能源危机
Power shortages that gripped many parts of the country in recent months could herald1 the worst energy crunch2 in years amid growing concerns that economic growth may suffer.
近几个月来国内很多区域出现的电力短缺预示着将可能出现数年来最紧急的能源危机,有关经济增长会因此受阻的担心也在加剧。
在上面的报道中,energy crunch即能源危机,指由于能源提供短缺或是价格上涨而影响经济,一般涉及到石油、电力或其他自然资源的短缺。能源危机一般会导致economic recession(经济衰退)。Crunch在这里的意思是(突发的)不足,短缺,比如credit crunch(信贷紧缩),supply crunch(提供紧张)。
自3月份以来,在部分省市开始出现power cut(停电)和blackout(断电),缘由是price control(价格控制)、surging demand(需要上涨)和a drop in hydropower production(水电产量降低)。现在国内为知道决能源危机,正在大力推广新能源,并计划建设new-energy model city(新能源示范城)。
