联合国欧洲经济委员会秘书处虽然不相信[关于苏联石油出口]即将急剧下降的一切议论,但在新近有关能源问题的综合研究过程中却发现苏联石油生产迅速增长时期即将结束的迹象。增长速度的减缓也许将由于不断迅速增加其它形式能源(特别是天然气)的供应而部分得到补偿;但是,迹象表明,苏联的石油出口贸易正接近顶峰,而且到下一个十年结束时,整个苏联集团将不再是世界能源净出口的地区之一。 Although the UNECE secretariat does not believe everything about [the Soviet Union’s oil exports] going down sharply in the near future, the recent comprehensive study on energy issues shows signs that the Soviet Union’s oil production is rapidly approaching an end. The slowdown in growth may be partially offset by the rapidly and rapidly increasing supply of other forms of energy, especially natural gas; however, there are indications that the Soviet Union’s oil export trade is reaching its peak and by the end of the next decade the entire Soviet Union The group will no longer be one of the world’s net energy exporters.
