Distillate fuel

3月2日，紐約商業(yè)期貨交易所（NYMEX）的原油期貨收購價超過了53美元/桶，接近四個月以來的新高記錄。美國能源部公布上周原油和汽油庫存增加，但取暖用燃油和柴油減少；國際能源機構(gòu)預(yù)測今年全球能源需求將上升。外電報道如下：Crude oil prices ended above 53 dollars a barrel Wednesday after a US government report showed a drop in heating fuel stockpiles. On the New York Mercantile Exchange, oil futures for April delivery rose 1.37 dollars to end at 53.05 dollars per barrel. On London's International Petroleum Exchange, the April Brent crude-oil futures contract climbed 1.11 dollars to settle at 51.22 dollars a barrel. On Wednesday, a US government report showed that inventories of distillate fuel, a category that include heating oil and diesel, fell 1.7 million barrels to 110 million. Analysts had expected a 1.2-million-barrel decline. Distillate fuel表示“餾出燃料”，如民用燃料油和柴油。Distillate有“蒸餾液；餾出物；濃縮物；精華”等含義，例如：the distillate of wisdom（智慧的結(jié)晶）；fuel oil distillate（燃料油餾出物）light oil distillate（輕油餾分）。 （中國日報網(wǎng)站編）
