Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s.
然而，我们有充分的理由预期这次油价暴涨给经济带来的影响不会像20世纪70年代那么严重。
In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s.
与70年代相比，现在多数国家的原油价格占汽油价格的份额要小很多。
In Europe, taxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past.
在欧洲，税金在汽油零售价的比例高达4/5，因此，即使原油价格发生很大的波动，汽油价格所受的影响也不会像过去那么显著。

In fact, it fell to 2.6% in August, and is expected to average only about 3% for the year as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year.
实际上，8月份就降到了2.6％。而且有望达到全年平均仅为3％。去年年底，英国和日本的通货膨胀率实际上比预测的要低半个百分点。
