Crude output: 原油生產(chǎn) [ 2004-09-16 08:35 ]
破壞力極強的颶風“伊萬”在古巴西部肆虐后,又咆哮著進入了墨西哥海灣。由于颶風的威脅,墨西哥灣地區(qū)的一些石油公司停止了海上石油生產(chǎn),導致全世界石油價格上漲。外電報道如下:Oil
prices headed up toward $45 a barrel on Wednesday as Hurricane Ivan shut
60 percent of crude output in the Gulf of Mexico and at least five
refiners along the U.S. coast planned to close as a precaution. Crude
output的意思是“原油生產(chǎn)”。Crude的意思是“天然物質,處于未加工狀態(tài)的物質,尤指原油”。例如:crude
rubber(天然橡膠);crude salt(粗制鹽);petroleum crude或crude
oil(原油)。Crude還有“粗糙的、未加修飾的、簡陋的”的意思。例如:a crude shelter in the
forest(森林中簡陋的棲身之處)。The painting was a crude
forgery.(這幅畫是一件拙劣的贗品)。
