早在 1872年,德国化学家阿道夫·冯·拜耳就在研究主要由酚(从煤气照明工业大批量产出的煤渣中提炼的类似松节油样的溶剂)和甲醛(从本醇中提炼的防腐液体)之间的反应所产生聚集在玻璃器皿底部的棘手的残渣。

But the Suburban and its twin, the Yukon XL, remain GM's greediest gas guzzlers.
无论如何, Suburban 及其孪生兄弟 YukonXL 始终是通用公司生产的最省油的汽车。

COMING UP In 2004, GM will introduce its hybrid gas-electric version of the Chevrolet Silverado two-wheel-drive pickup truck.
即将面世 2004年,通用将推出一种汽油、电动两用的雪佛兰 Silverado 两轮驱动有斗货车。

In 2003 a hybrid gas-electric version will deliver up to 40 m.p.g. in city driving. 2003年,每加仑汽油可供其改型后的汽油、电动两用车在市区行驶 40英里。

Why are gas-guzzling Ford and GM suddenly quarreling over environmental correctness?
福特和通用这两个耗油大户因何突然争相充当环保先锋?

All the while, they have outdone one another in launching large, gas-guzzling vehicles.
而且还争相推出体积庞大、耗油量巨大的产品。

Voluntarily, the company would improve the fuel economy of sport-utility vehicles 25% over five years, he said, saving an average of 1,700 gallons of gas over the life of an average vehicle.
这样一来,一辆普通的汽车在使用寿命内将节省大约 1, 700加仑汽油。我们欢迎其他汽车制造商加入我们的行列。

内华达民主党人、参议员理查德·布赖恩说:突然之间,人们开始惊呼,啊呀,糟了!加满我的油箱怎么要这么多钱!他正在努力使燃料经济性的规定变得更加严格。

Fertilizer prices, largely tied to the price of natural gas, huge amounts of which go into the manufacture of fertilizer, will continue to represent an enormous and escalating economic burden on modern agriculture, spurring the search for alternatives to synthetic fertilizers.
化肥的价格在很大程度上与天然气的价格相关,而在制造化肥的过程中须消耗大量的天然气,故化肥价格将会继续对现代农业构成一种巨额的不断升级的经济负担,从而刺激人们去寻找合成化肥的替代手段。

Nitrogen fixation is a process in which certain bacteria use atmospheric nitrogen gas, which green plants cannot directly utilize, to produce ammonia, a nitrogen compound plants can use.
固氮作用即是这样一个过程:某些细菌利用绿色植物无法直接利用的氮气(nitrogen)制造出氨(ammonia),一种植物可利用的氮化合物。

It is one of nature's great ironies that the availability of nitrogen in the soil frequently sets an upper limit on plant growth even though the plants' leaves are bathed in a sea of nitrogen gas.

If a supernova (the explosion of a massive star) triggered star formation from dense clouds of gas and dust, and if the most massive star to be formed from the cloud evolved into a supernova and triggered a new round of star formation, and so on, then a chain of star-forming regions would result.
倘若一颗超新星(supernova,即一颗质量庞大的星星的爆炸)触发星星从稠密的气体和尘埃云中形成,且倘若从云层中形成的质量最庞大的星星演变成一颗超新星并触发新的一轮星星形成过程,如此循环下去的话,那么,一系列能形成星星的区域便告产生。

These igneous meteorites are known as achondrites because they lack chondrules—small stony spherules found in the thousands of meteorites (called "chondrites") composed primarily of unaltered minerals that condensed from dust and gas at the origin of the solar system.
这些火成陨石被称为无球粒陨石(achondrite),因为它们缺乏陨石球粒(chondule)——即在数千种陨石(被称作“球粒陨石”,chondrite)中所发现的石质小球粒,主要是由在阳系形成之际从尘埃和气体中凝结而成的且未曾改变过的矿物质构成。

Several oil and gas facilities in the Gulf of Mexico have resumed operations following Hurricane Katrina. However, an industry analyst says the full extent of damage to generating facilities is still unknown.
美国墨西哥湾地区的几个炼油厂在卡特里娜飓风过后,已经恢复生产。不过这个行业的一位分析人士说,炼油设施到底遭到多大破坏目前还不清楚。

One indication of how bad things may be is a photograph of a toppled Shell Oil platform, which produced 40,000 barrels of oil a day and about 150 million cubic feet of natural gas. Mr. Flanagan says multiply those losses by today's commodity prices and you get an idea of how much money Shell is losing on just that one rig.
从壳牌石油公司一座倒塌的钻井平台的照片上可以看出损失的严重性。这座平台每天生产4万桶石油和1亿5千万立方英尺的天然气。弗拉纳根说,把这些数字乘上今天的石油和天然气价格,你就知道壳牌石油公司仅仅在一座平台上的损失了。

"The biggest story seems to be what's happened to the onshore infrastructure," he explained. "Natural gas processing plants are flooded. Refineries are flooded. So, even if you could turn on all the different production platforms we have in the Gulf of Mexico, you wouldn't be able to do so because the onshore infrastructure still needs to be repaired."
他说:“最大的损失可能是岸上的设施,天然气加工厂被洪水淹没,炼油厂也被淹没。所以即使墨西哥湾的所有海上平台恢复生产,那也无济于事,因为那些岸上的设施也需要修理。”

What's more, Mr. Flanagan says Hurricane Katrina has also affected oil and gas industry workers. So, it's unclear how many are available to help with repairs. "As far as I've been in this business, this is the worst I've seen things," he added.
弗拉纳根说,另外卡特里娜飓风还影响到石油和天然气工人的生活,现在还不清楚有多少人可以参与修复工作。弗拉纳根说:“这是我进入这个行业以来所看到的最严重的损失。”

The Bush Administration is trying to ease soaring gas and oil prices by tapping into the strategic oil reserves. However, Mr. Flanagan is not sure how quickly and to what extent this will have an effect.
布什政府正在调动战略储备石油来缓和高涨的汽油价格,不过弗拉纳根表示,这种方法要多久才能产生效果,效果有多大,目前还不能确定。

Mr. Flanagan says Hurricane Katrina has shown just how dependent the United States is on oil and gas and the importance of supplies in the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf makes up about 25 percent of oil and gas production in the country, not counting Alaska.
弗拉纳根说,卡特里娜飓风显示,美国是多么地依赖石油和天然气,墨西哥湾的石油生产有多重要。墨西哥湾的石油和天然气产量占阿拉斯加之外的美国总产量的25%。

President Bush has held a rare formal news conference, a session that focused primarily on two key domestic issues--rising gas prices, and the future of the massive government program that provides benefits to retirees.

Japan is remembering the lethal nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway system by a religious cult 10 years ago Sunday. A decade after the incident, legal appeals drag on, and survivors say they are suffering with little outside support.
这个星期天日本将纪念东京地铁毒气袭击事件10周年。这次事件10年过去了,但是官司仍然缠讼,幸存者则表示,他们还在受苦,却没有得到多少外界的支持。

When it was over, more than 5,000 people had been poisoned by sarin nerve gas, 12 died.
当混乱平息下来时,有5千多人遭到沙林毒气毒害,12人死亡。

The Aum Shinrikyo cult, said it had hoped to kill many thousands, and plunge the country into chaos, but experts say its homemade nerve gas was far less potent than the cult's scientists had expected.
奥姆真理教说,他们希望杀死几千人以造成全国混乱。但是专家们表示,他们自制的沙林毒气的威力比预期小。

This Saturday, some 50 survivors of the attack, on a memorial walk, trekked between some of the subway stations where the deadly gas was released. The victims say they want to raise public awareness, that the government is doing nothing to support those still suffering.
这个星期六,大约50名当年的幸存者在事件发生的几个地铁车站间举行纪念步行。这些受害者说,他们希望唤起公众注意,日本政府对仍然对那次毒气攻击事件的幸存者,一点也没有照顾。

Energy analyst Brenda Shaffer, who heads the Caspian Studies Program at Harvard University, says a nation so rich in oil and gas does not need a costly nuclear energy program. "The point is that Iran is saying they are not developing nuclear weapons, they are saying they're developing a nuclear energy program," he said. "And for a country that is the largest producer of natural gas in the world and really has very few export markets because the states next door to it are also gas producers and don't need the gas, it's pretty highly unlikely they are actually developing a nuclear energy program but actually a nuclear weapons program."
能源分析家谢弗是哈佛大学里里海研究项目的负责人。他说,伊朗有丰富的石油和汽油,不需要再发展这么昂贵的核能源计划。谢弗说:“关键是,伊朗说他们没有发展核武器,而是发展核电。伊朗是世界上最大的天然气生产国,而它几乎没有对外出口,因为其邻国也是产油国,不需要购买天然气。这样看来,他们应该不是在发展核电,实际上还是在发展核武器。”

Iran has steadfastly insisted that its nuclear program, which includes a power reactor complex being built for it by Russia, is for peaceful purposes only. But U.S. officials, among others, have questioned why Iran, a major oil and gas producer, is investing huge sums for nuclear power plants and a uranium-enrichment capability.
伊朗坚决表示,包括一座由俄罗斯建造的核反应堆在内的核项目只是用于和平用途。但是,美国官员质疑,为什么像伊朗这个主要的石油和天然气生产国需要投资大量的资金建设核电厂和浓缩铀的设施。

Petrol is formed by ancient organisms. The dead bodies of the living beings in the sea sank to the bottom of the sea. They piled and were separated from the air. Germs decomposing the bodies, along with the high temperature and pressure, the bodies were decomposed and changed into petrol and natural gas.
石油是由古代有机物变来的。在漫长的地质年代里,海洋里繁殖了大量的海洋生物,它们死亡后的遗体随着泥沙一起沉到海底,长年累月地一层层堆积起来,跟外界空气隔绝着,经过细菌的分解,以及地层内的高温、高压作用,生物遗体逐渐分解、转化成石油和天然气。
