福克斯新闻 油价下跌严重引发公司裁员

（单词翻译）

Crude oil futures¹ have hit their lowest price since 2003, right around $30.00 a barrel.

Triple-A says the national average price for a gallon of gas right now is about a $1.69 a gallon…

And industry watcher Trilby Lundberg says that trip to the pump is going to get even cheaper:

“Instead of just a few pennies, we might see several cents decline at the pump.

There’ll be a slight delay, but the direction is clearly down at this point.”

But oil companies are slashing² jobs along with those prices.

BP announcing 4,000 people are getting laid off, while Chevron³ is losing about 7,000.

原油价格已经触底，达到了每桶30.00美元，这是自2003年以来的最低价格。

3A表示现在平均每加仑的价格在1.69美元…

而业内观察人士特里贝·伦伯格表示油田成本则更为便宜:

“连几便士都用不到,我们可能会看到几美分的降价。

稍微会有一点延迟,但在这一点上大的趋势已经非常明确。”

但石油公司正在通过裁员的方式弥补价格所产生的损失。

英国石油公司宣布裁员4000人,而雪佛龙正裁掉约7000名员工。
