The national average for a, uh, uh, a gallon of gas is higher than $4.

現在美國汽油平均每加侖已經超過4塊錢了。

程度副詞

This is the highest in nearly four years, higher than any point during the president's two terms.

這創下了將近四年來的歷史新高，比總統兩任任期內的任何時候都高。

美國西德州原油價格，也就是美國的

benchmark, they settle at their highest point in four years,

基準，創下了四年來的最高點，

and you can see they're actually up from what they closed at last night, which I said was, was pretty high already.

你可以看到，價格比我昨晚說的已經很高的收盤價又往上漲了。

Let's get to CNN senior reporter Matt Egan, who is here with us.

接下來我們請到CNN資深記者Matt Egan，他現在就在我們現場。

And, and this $4 a gallon, I mean, this is a, a benchmark, a pretty big psychological barrier.

還有，這每加侖4塊錢，我說，這是一個基準，一個很大的心理關卡。

Yeah, a huge psychological barrier, and one, John, that was unthinkable when the year started, right?

是啊，一個巨大的心理關卡，而且，John，這在年初時是無法想像的，對吧？

$4 a gallon gas in March, but here we are.

三月時每加侖4塊錢的汽油，但我們現在就面臨這個情況。

So the new national average, $4.02, that is well above the $2.98 a gallon before the war started, significantly higher than $3.17 at this point last year.

所以新的全國平均價格是每加侖4.02元，遠高於戰爭開始前的每加侖2.98元，也顯著高於去年同期的3.17元。

And analysts warn that the national average could approach or even take out the all-time high of $5 a gallon that was set four years ago after Russia invaded Ukraine.

而且分析師警告，全國平均油價可能會接近甚至打破四年前俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭後創下的每加侖 5 美元歷史新高。

And look, drivers in some parts of the country, they're already facing significantly higher prices, right?

而且你看，國家某些地方的駕駛，他們已經面臨顯著更高的價格了，對吧？

$4.20 a gallon or higher in Illinois, Utah, Arizona, above $5 in Washington State, approaching $6 in California.

伊利諾州、猶他州、亞利桑那州的每加侖 4.20 美元或更高，華盛頓州超過 5 美元，加州的接近 6 美元。

Now, obviously, this is all about the fact that the war has set off this epic supply disruption, right?

顯然，這一切都源於這場戰爭引發了史詩級的供應中斷，對吧？

Bigger than after Russia invaded Ukraine, bigger than the first Gulf War, the second Gulf War.

比俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭後更嚴重，比第一次波灣戰爭、第二次波灣戰爭都更嚴重。

That's why oil prices have skyrocketed, as you mentioned, U.S.

這就是為什麼油價會飆升，就像你提到的，美國

crude topping $100 a barrel, settling above that level for the first time in four years yesterday, and

原油價格每桶超過 100 美元，昨天首次收盤價高於這個水準，而且

The problem is that the market just cannot function if the Strait of Hormuz remains shut down.

問題是，如果荷姆茲海峽持續關閉，市場就無法運作。

And overnight, we had another fully loaded oil tanker off the coast of Dubai that was struck by what Kuwaiti officials have blamed on an Iranian drone attack.

而且一夜之間，我們在杜拜海岸附近又有一艘滿載的油輪遭到科威特官員指稱是伊朗的無人機攻擊。

And the Investment Bank, uh, McQuarrie out of Australia, they're warning that if this war continues and it lasts through June and the Strait of Hormuz remains shut, you could see far higher prices.

而澳洲的投資銀行 McQuarrie 警告說，如果這場戰爭持續到六月，而且荷姆茲海峽仍然關閉，油價可能會更高。

油價可能飆升到每桶 200 美元。

John, that does not equate to $5 a gallon gas or six, but

John，這不代表汽油會是每加侖 5 美元或 6 美元，而是

Now, I know $200 oil, that sounds kind of crazy, but

我知道油價 200 美元聽起來有點瘋狂，但是

some of the oil analysts that I'm in touch with, they're not dismissing this, right?

我聯繫的一些石油分析師，他們並沒有排除這種可能性。

Uh, veteran analyst Bob McNally, he told me that high one hundreds or even, yes, $200 is possible if this crisis continues to drag on.

資深分析師 Bob McNally 告訴我，如果這場危機持續下去，油價達到一兩百美元，甚至 200 美元都是有可能的。

And McNally, you know, he said the market has just stopped listening to Trump.

而且 McNally 說，市場已經不再聽川普的話了。

Earlier in this crisis, the market kind of believed the president's comments around a quick ending to this war,

在這場危機的初期，市場似乎相信總統關於戰爭能迅速結束的說法，

but now there's a lot more skepticism, John.

但現在懷疑的聲音越來越多了，John。

And so look, I think the bottom line is the Strait of Hormuz, right?

所以你看，我覺得重點就在於荷姆茲海峽，對吧？

If it can reopen, then you could see oil prices crash back to earth.

如果它能重新開放，油價就會一路跌回原形。

But if not, then this pain at the pump could get worse before it gets better.

但如果不行，那麼加油站的痛苦可能會在好轉前變得更糟。

A-and look, we'll see how they react to the news from the president that he's considering or hinting at the fact that the United States may end its efforts there without reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

而且你看，我們將會看看他們如何回應總統的消息，他正在考慮或暗示美國可能會在那裡結束行動，而荷姆茲海峽卻沒有重新開放。

With us now, CNN senior business reporter David Goldman.

現在跟我們在一起的是 CNN 資深商業記者 David Goldman。

And what strikes me is that a month ago, it was a dollar less.

讓我驚訝的是，一個月前，還便宜了一美元。

And, you know, every dollar that gas prices rise, that's about $1,000 for American families over the course of a year.

你知道的，汽油價格每上漲一美元，對美國家庭來說，一年下來大約就是一千美元。

So now we're talking about everything that's on a truck gets more expensive.

所以現在我們討論的是，所有用卡車運送的東西都會變貴。

and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon because President Trump today is talking about how the Strait of Hormuz might remain closed for some time.

而且看起來短期內不會停止，因為川普總統今天說，荷姆茲海峽可能會關閉一段時間。

Now we're talking about maybe $150 oil, $200 oil, some, uh, analysts are saying yesterday.

現在我們討論的是，原油價格可能會來到 150 美元，甚至 200 美元，有些分析師昨天是這麼說的。

這意味著汽油價格可能會來到 5、6 美元。

這對大家來說，會是很大的痛苦。

A-and these oil traders, I think, are, are faced with these conflicting signals all the time, right?

而這些交易員，我覺得他們總是會面臨這些相互矛盾的訊號，對吧？

Yesterday, the president put out his tweet saying negotiations are going well, we're talking to a much different Iranian regime.

昨天，總統發了推文說談判進展順利，我們正在和一個截然不同的伊朗政權溝通。

Then last night, and I happen to be here working, there's a giant Kuwaiti tanker on fire there.

然後昨晚，我正好在這裡工作，看到一艘巨大的科威特油輪在那裡起火。

And so you have these conflicting forces.

所以你就會有這些相互衝突的力量。

And, you know, if you look at the oil market, they're telling us a signal, right?

你知道，如果你看看原油市場，他們正在給我們一個訊號，對吧？

They're giving us a sense of what to expect from this war.

它們給了我們一個對這場戰爭的預期。

Right now, Brent crude, that's the international, uh, benchmark, that's trading at about $110 a barrel.

現在，布蘭特原油，也就是國際的、嗯，基準，大約以每桶 110 美元的價格交易。

If you go out, though, because you can buy futures for next month and the following month and the following month,

不過，如果你繼續看，因為你可以買下個月、下下個月以及之後的期貨，

and those are falling off pretty quickly, that gives us a sense that, well, okay, oil might start to fall a little bit,

而這些價格很快就開始下跌，這讓我們感覺，嗯，好吧，油價可能會開始小幅下跌，

but we don't get back down to $70 a barrel, which is where we were before this, uh, conflict started, until 2032.

但我們得要到 2032 年，才能回到衝突開始前的每桶 70 美元。

So this means that for six years, the oil market is saying that we're going to be above where we were before the conflict started.

這意味著，未來六年，石油市場都在說，我們將會高於衝突開始前的水準。

It means that we could have high gas prices, high oil, oil prices for quite some time.

這意味著我們可能會在很長一段時間內面臨高汽油價格、高油價。

Audios to $3 a gallon for gasoline, maybe years before we get that back.

汽油價格可能會漲到每加侖 3 美元，而且可能要好幾年才能回到以前的水準。

David Goldman, great to see you this morning.

David Goldman，很高興今天早上見到你。

The Wall Street Journal reports this morning that President Trump is considering ending the war without reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

《華爾街日報》今早報導，川普總統正在考慮結束這場戰爭，而不必重新開放荷姆茲海峽。

And just moments ago, President Trump put out a statement on social media that doesn't exactly contradict that report.

就在幾分鐘前，川普總統在社群媒體上發布了一份聲明，並沒有完全反駁這篇報導。

The president wrote, "All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you.

總統寫道：「所有因為荷姆茲海峽而無法取得噴射燃料的國家，像是拒絕介入處決伊朗的英國，我有一個建議給你們。

And number two, build up some delayed courage.

第二，拿出你們延遲已久的勇氣來。

You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourselves.

The U.S. won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us.

美國不會再在那裡幫你們了，就像你們沒幫我們一樣。

Go get your own oil." And then it signed President DJT.

去拿你們自己的石油吧。」然後署名川普總統。

Let's get right to CNN na senior national chief national security analyst, uh, Jim Sciuto, who's in Tel Aviv this morning.

我們現在就來連線 CNN 的資深國家安全分析師 Jim Sciuto，他今天早上在特拉維夫。

Jim, it's a pretty remarkable statement from the president, which almost seems to confirm that he's considering leaving the Strait of Hormuz to somebody else.

Jim，這真是總統一份相當引人注目的聲明，幾乎像是證實他考慮把荷姆茲海峽留給別人。

Well, John, you see a great shifting of the responsibility there, right?

嗯，John，你看到了責任的重大轉移，對吧？

To, to solve a problem that didn't exist before the war, that is, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

為了要解決戰爭之前並不存在的問題，也就是荷姆茲海峽關閉的問題。

President Trump, after raising the possibility of forcing it open, threatening Iran in various ways, positioning forces in this region to take it by force, uh, as well as Iran's oil facilities on Karg Island, he is now saying in so many words, "Not our problem." Now, the president could change his mind again.

川普總統在提出強行開放的可能性、威脅伊朗、在這個地區部署武力準備武力奪取，以及攻擊卡爾島上的伊朗石油設施之後，現在他直說：「不是我們的事。」現在，總統可能會再次改變主意。

He's, he's changed his mind multiple times in his public statements since the start of this war, but, uh, it at least appears to be laying the rhetorical groundwork to end the war, declare victory perhaps, but

自從這場戰爭開始以來，他在公開聲明中已經改變了好幾次主意，但是，這至少像是為結束戰爭、或許宣佈勝利打下言辭上的基礎，但

without solving that key problem, which is now causing major, major global economic implications, including for America's allies, particularly those in Asia that depend on oil from here.

卻沒有解決那個關鍵問題，這個問題現在正對全球經濟，包括對美國盟友，特別是那些依賴這裡原油的亞洲國家，造成重大、重大的影響。

Let's talk about the price of gas specifically, if we could.

我們來談談汽油的價格，如果可以的話。

So as I just noted, the average price for a gallon of gas in here, here in the U.S., now above $4 a gallon.

正如我剛才提到的，美國這裡的汽油平均價格現在已經超過每加侖4美元。

This is having such an important ripple effect across the global economy.

這對全球經濟產生了非常重要的連鎖效應。

Jet fuel certainly getting a lot of attention, Eleni.

航空燃油當然受到了很多關注，Eleni。

So what this war has exposed is the Achilles heel of the global economy, Erica.

所以這場戰爭暴露了全球經濟的阿基里斯腱，Erica。
