英国燃料短缺：加油站排起了长长的队伍，司机们无视不要恐慌性购买的呼吁
——全国各地的加油站外都出现了汽车长队，司机们担心燃油供应可能会不足，但政府和汽油供应商表示，这个问题将会平息
(Drivers queueing for petrol in Tonbridge, Kent)
（在肯特郡的汤布里奇，司机在排队加油）
新闻简介：
当加油站关闭的消息传出后，司机们在今早恐慌性地购买汽油和柴油。
在布莱顿、肯特和利兹的加油站，司机们排成了长龙。
英国石油、埃索和乐购已经关闭了一小部分加油站，原因是缺乏运送燃料的卡车司机。
但司机们被警告不要反应过度和抢购燃料。
首相的一位发言人表示，政府承认“英国许多行业都面临着问题，不仅仅是货车司机”。
英国最大的燃油物流公司之一霍耶透露，该公司“难以交货”。
该公司找不到足够的油罐车司机来运送燃料，据说每天所需的400至450名司机通常缺少20个。
英国石油英国零售业务主管汉娜·霍费尔上周在一次政府会议上表示，形势“很糟糕，非常糟糕”。
该公司表示，多达100个加油站至少缺少一种级别的燃料。它已经开始定量供应汽油了。
由于供应问题，一些工厂已经被迫完全关闭了。

When the first people start panic buying it kinda creates a prisoners dilemma; "I don't want to hoard fuel, but if everyone else is there won't be any fuel for me if I don't"
当第一批人开始恐慌性购买时，就会造成囚徒困境：“我不想囤积燃料，但如果其他人都囤积，那我就得不到燃料了。”

我只是在等周一，到时候我可以跟老板说对不起，我的车油箱空了，没有柴油可以加了，我总不能走路去上班吧，对吧？

Hi Tim, This is not the go get attitude we aspire to within the brand family. The walk will only take 4 hours each way we need you in.

When the toilet paper panic buying happened there was a really good article posted here. It takes something like 5% of people to panic buy for that to have a knock on effect of reasonable people panicking and buying too. Once it hits that point it just keeps going and going.
当卫生纸抢购事件发生时，有一篇很好的文章。说大概要有5%的人会恐慌性购买才会对理性的人也产生连锁反应。一旦到达那个临界点，抢购就停不下来了。

Although, I guess people can fill up their spare rooms with toilet paper, whereas the amopunt of storage people have for fuel is a bit more limited.
不过，我想人们可以用厕纸填满他们的空余房间，但人们储存燃料的空间有点有限。

I fill up every two weeks. Tank was near empty and today was the day to fill up.
Got to the petrol station and had some lunatic screaming at me about panic buying lol. Nah, people still need fuel, even when some people want 3 slices at the pizza party.
我每两周加一次油。油箱差不多空了，今天该加满了。
到了加油站，有个疯子冲着我尖叫，说我抢购了，呵呵。不，人们还是需要燃料的，即使有些人想在披萨派对上吃三块。
You know the panic buying is bad when you witness an ambulance being turned away at the pump.
当你看到一辆救护车在加油站被拒绝时，你就知道抢购是件坏事了。
Surprised certain stations havent been reserved for emergency services
令人惊讶的是，有些车站竟然没有专门为紧急服务而设立通道
Worked at a petrol station the last time there was panic buying years ago and everywhere ran out. We let our tanks run down to the minimum they can safely pump then closed them off. We let emergency services take fuel from the last tank which we closed off to the public early.
我在加油站工作，上一次出现恐慌性购买是在几年前，当时所有加油站都卖光了。我们让我们的油罐保持最低限度，这样它们就能安全地泵送然后关闭。我们让紧急服务人员从最后一个油罐里取油，这个油罐我们提前关闭了，不对外泵油。
Last one I remember was the early 2000s, my mum was a community nurse and got loads of gobshites berating her for filling up!
I was fit enough to cycle 6 miles to and from work so it didn't affect me too much.
我记得的最后一次油荒是在21世纪初，我妈妈是一名社区护士，当时很多人都在骂她加得太多！
我的身体状况很好，可以骑6英里的自行车上下班，所以这对我没有太大影响。
Good on you. I find that cycling to work saves you having to do your daily exercise (if you're that way inclined) and makes you sleep a whole lot better that evening.
I genuinely think most people could easily do a six, eight, maybe even a ten mile cycle (not a doctor, take medical advice first if you're new to exercise!) - but it's just the "fuck factor" of having to get up that little bit earlier every day. On the days I cycle to work for a 6am start, it's a bit of a bastard waking up an hour earlier but it's nice getting to work, having a shower at the office, and turning up to my desk feeling fresh as fuck.
That said, it isn't for everyone. Well worth a try though.
祝福你。我发现骑车上班节省了你每天的锻炼（如果你有这种倾向的话），而且让你晚上睡得更好了。
我真的认为大多数人都可以轻松地完成6英里，8英里，甚至10英里的自行车（我不是医生，如果你是刚开始锻炼的话，先听取医生的建议！）——但这只是每天不得不早起一点点的“tmd因素”。在我每天早上6点骑自行车去上班的日子里，早一个小时起床有点很不爽，但上班很愉快，在办公室里洗个澡，然后走到办公桌前，感觉精神抖擞。
也就是说，它并不适合所有人。不过还是值得一试的。
Can't speak about everywhere but ambulances and police have their own fueling stations they can use specifically for them that aren't open to the public, fuel would be prioritised going there rather than to a retail site.
The only reason they use retail stations is to prevent the need for them going back to a station repeatedly throughout the night when they can get petrol anywhere with a fuel card.
So there is a contingency in place, it's just not retail sites.
不能说到处都是这样，但是救护车和警察有他们自己的加油站，它们可以专门为它们服务，不向公众开放，燃料也将优先到那里，而不是零售站点。
它们使用零售加油站的唯一原因是，当它们可以用加油卡在任何地方加油时，它们不需要整夜反复回到自己的加油站。
所以是有一个应急措施的，只是不是在零售站点。
This used to be the case but over the last 10-20 years a lot (perhaps the majority) have been removed or are no longer used.
过去是这样，但在过去的10-20年里，很多（可能是大多数）专门加油站已经被取消或不再使用了。
All day Friday it was on the radio, “fueling stations are closing and there’s a shortage” then right at the end of the day they’re like… why yall panic buying for
周五一整天广播里都在说，“加油站正在关闭，供应短缺”，然后在一天结束的时候，他们还在想，你们为什么要恐慌性购买

I think the media are 100% to blame for this. 2 BP fueling stations could not get fuel so had to close for a day and the reporting of it caused this.
我认为这完全是媒体的责任。两家英国石油的加油站无法获得燃料，因此不得不关闭一天，这就是媒体报道造成的。
原创翻译：龙腾网 http://www.ltaaa.cn 转载请注明出处
It was amazing how quick the panic took hold. I drove to work at 7am on Friday morning and it was absolutely fine, I drove past three petrol stations and no queues at all. Then there was a report of the two BP petrol stations closed due to unrelated reasons. Then I happened to be out again at 3am this morning passing the same 24hr stations and they were all closed.
令人惊讶的是，恐慌如此迅速地蔓延开来了。周五早上7点我开车去上班，天气非常好，我开车经过三个加油站，根本没有排队。随后有报道称，英国石油公司的两家加油站不相关的原因关闭了。今天凌晨3点，我碰巧又出去了，经过同样的24小时车站，但它们都关闭了。
Good Morning Britain were reporting on 'potential' fuel shortages heavily on friday morning. By about 11am the Daily Mail had photos of small queues at petrol stations. I said at that point to my partner that you could see the panic buying being fuelled (if you'll excuse the pun). By the Evening petrol stations were selling out.
So fucking stupid and completely drummed up by the same right wing bellends that drove panic buying in the first pandemic.
周五早上，《早安英国》报道了“潜在的”燃油严重短缺。上午11点左右，《每日邮报》刊登了加油站前排起小长龙的照片。我当时对我的搭档说，你可以看到恐慌性购买正在加剧（fuelled）（请原谅我的双关语）。到了晚上，加油站的汽油就都卖光了。
太他妈愚蠢了，完全还是被第一次大流行时引发恐慌性购买的右翼势力鼓动的。
Small amount of petrol stations shut and it's front page news as a petrol shortage. Now we have idiots queuing at petrol stations. It's this years toilet paper shortage.
少量加油站关闭，然后汽油短缺成了头条新闻。现在有白痴在加油站排队。这是今年版本的“厕纸短缺”。
We had to fuel up for a trip this morning, unavoidable. We only managed to refuel on the 5th petrol station we tried and the lady there was putting cones in place behind us. This at 7:30 in the morning mind you, doubt they'll have any petrol for the rest of the weekend
我们不得不为今天早上的出行加油，这是不可避免的。我们只在第5加油站加油，我们试了试，那里的女加油工在我们车后面放了路障。提醒你一下，这才是早上七点半，恐怕他们整个周末都没油了
Luckily people are much more limited in how much petrol they can stockpile compared to how much toilet roll they can stockpile.
幸运的是，与厕纸相比，人们能储存的汽油要少得多。
Our politicians have told us there’s no fuel shortage, that there’s no need to panic, and we should all carry on with our lives as normal.
Panic buying starts almost immediately.
What does that tell us about how much we value the word of our government?
我们的政客告诉我们没有燃料短缺，没有必要恐慌，我们都应该像往常一样继续生活。
然后恐慌性购买几乎马上就开始了。
这说明我们有多重视政府的言论？
I actually think the british press have a lot to do with this issue myself. They have set up live news feeds and it's front page news. They like at the start of the pandemic have helped cause hysteria. Not saying the government aren't a bunch of untrustworthy cretins... but yeah...our press...fucking idiots really.
事实上，我认为英国媒体与这个问题有很大的关系。他们设置了实时新闻推送，这是头版新闻。他们就像在流行病开始的时候帮助引起了歇斯底里情绪一样。不是说政府不是一群不值得信任的白痴…但是是的…我们的新闻——该死的白痴。
the source of the issue is brexit, and our press had no small part in generating the bulshit about the EU which led lots of people to vote to leave... but yeah...our press...fucking idiots really.
问题的根源在于英国脱欧，我们的媒体在制造关于欧盟的扯淡中发挥了不小的作用，导致很多人投票脱欧……但是是的…我们的新闻——该死的白痴。
I agree with that yeah. People need to give themselves a good shake and look at the reality of things since leaving the EU. This is what they voted for.
我同意。脱欧后，人们需要清醒一下，认清现实。这就是他们投票支持的结果。
Totally agree. But if the media broadcast bollocks like this and the default response was “well, the government has said there’s no issue so it’s irrelevant”, then we’d not be here. Or it’s less likely we’d be here..
Fact is, when our government says not to worry about X, a lot of people assume there’s a reason to worry about X..
完全同意。但如果媒体播放这样的扯淡，默认的反应就是“好吧，政府说没有问题，所以无关紧要”，那么我们就不会是现在这个局面了。或者最起码不会像现在这么糟糕…
事实是，当我们的政府说不要担心X时，很多人认为有理由担心X。

They would be better off saying nothing but then people would be like why haven't they said anything? I don't know what the right answer is if you were in power. I just know, the press....fucking unreal and they should literally be ashamed of the way they acted with this....this and panic buying at the start of covid.
它们最好什么都不说，但是人们又会想为什么它们什么都不说呢？我不知道正确的应对是什么——如果你掌权的话。我只知道，媒体……太tm不真实了，它们应该为自己在此次油荒上的行为感到羞愧……再加上新冠疫情开始时的恐慌性购买。
To be honest it's because when things are fine they don't tell us not to panic. So when they tell us not to panic we wonder why they are saying that.
老实说，这是因为当情况真的很好的时候，它们不会告诉我们不要恐慌。所以当它们告诉我们不要惊慌时，我们就会很奇怪他们为什么这么说（此地无银三百两）。
I mean, if I came up to you at work and said, "Look, everything is fine. Just keep working and don't worry about what's going on outside. It's fine. Really. The most important thing you can do is to keep working as if nothing is going on outside because it's really nothing."
You'd fucking get up and see what was going on outside.
我是说，如果我在工作的时候走到你面前说，“看，一切都很好。继续工作，别担心外面发生的事。它很好。真的。你能做的最重要的事情是继续工作，就像外面什么都没有发生一样，因为真的什么都没有。”
你tm就会起来看看外面发生了什么。
It's a bit like if I brought you a cup of tea and said 'the tea definitely does not have arsenic in it, trust me, it's safe to drink'. Humans interact with eachother with certain assumptions made subconsciously, and if you bring something up that is outside of these parameters, it gets us suspicious.
这有点像，如果我给你一杯茶，然后说：“这茶里绝对没有砒霜，相信我，可以安全饮用。” 人类相互交流时，会下意识地做出某些假设，而如果你提出一些超出这些参数的东西，就会让我们产生怀疑。
Honestly, as soon as I hear words come out of Boris Johnson's mouth, I doubt the veracity of them. This is the price you pay for being such a shameless liar.
It hasn't helped that there have been so many news stories saying, 'there's no fuel crisis but people believe there is so they're panic buying which means there might be a fuel crisis, so you'd better panic buy too!'
老实说，当我听到鲍里斯·约翰逊说的话时，我怀疑它们的真实性。这就是你无耻撒谎的代价。
有那么多的新闻报道说，“没有燃油危机，但人们相信有，所以他们恐慌性购买，这意味着可能会出现燃油危机，所以你最好也恐慌性购买！”
And now it's going to get worse and worse till the media stops reporting on it.
I'm supposed to be going to a family wedding tomorrow and I will definitely need petrol before I go. pumps were constantly busy or out of fuel.
I guess I'll have to wait and see if I can get any tomorrow.
现在情况会越来越糟，直到媒体停止报道。
我明天要去参加一个家庭婚礼，走之前我肯定需要加油。油泵总是很忙或没油。
我想我得等等，看明天能不能有。
I literally tried getting petrol this morning early at around 6AM - all of petrol stations were either closed or disrupted with massive queues. This caused big arguments, people fighting for pumps (disgusting behaviour)
I've ordered a petrol cannister as my car is now on 1mph so no chance me driving to a station.
Going to have to walk a fill up if stations are running again - such dark times we are living in now ...sigh
今天早上6点左右，我真的想去加油——所有的加油站不是关闭了就是排起了长队加不了。这引起了大的争论，人们为抢加油机打架（恶心的行为）
我已经订购了一个小汽油罐，因为我的车现在时速是1英里，所以我没有办法开车去加油站了。
如果加油站又开始运行，我们就得去加油了——我们现在生活在如此黑暗的时代……唉
Went to the 24hr servo last night. Not for fuel, I fancied some treats as it was Friday and that’s the only place open after 10pm.
Must have been over 50 cars come in, notice the yellow “out of order” signs on the pumps, and drive off all in the space of 10 mins.
Said to the bloke behind the counter that I felt for him, he told me how mental it’s been, they’ve even had to unplug the landline because of all the calls to see if they’ve got any fuel !
昨晚去了24小时加油站。不是为了加油，我想要吃点东西，因为今天是周五，而且只有这家店在晚上10点以后还营业。
10分钟内肯定有超过50辆车进来，注意到了油泵上黄色的“故障”标志，然后全部开走了。
我对柜台后面的家伙说我同情他，他告诉我这是多么疯狂，他们甚至不得不拔掉座机，因为所有的电话都是为了询问他们是否有燃料！
I didn't buy petrol yesterday, I bought half a tank last Thursday morning as usual.
That's my disclaimer out of the way, so my question is what else can folk do apart from compete in the panic?
People know if they don't then they run the risk of being without fuel when needed, and then having to search far and wide to find some.
I bet lots of people queued for petrol yesterday weren't rabid, selfish clowns but normal people trying NOT to be screwed by the rabid, selfish clowns. I know that adds to the problem, but the other choice is gamble and potentially lose.
I expect everything will be sorted by next week, but I can understand how rational, calm people try to protect themselves from frenzied panic buying by contributing to the hysteria.
The papers need to shut the fuck up and stop scaring folk.
我昨天没买汽油，上周四早上像往常一样买了半箱汽油。
这是我的免责声明，所以我的问题是，除了在恐慌中竞争，人们还能做什么？
人们知道如果他们不这样做，那么他们就会冒着在需要燃料的时候没有燃料的风险，然后不得不到处寻找一些燃料。
我敢打赌，昨天排队加油的人不是疯狂自私的小丑，而是普通人，但他们不想被疯狂自私的小丑耍。我知道这会加剧问题，但另一个选择是赌博（不从众），可能会堵输。
我预计一切都会在下周得到解决，但我能理解理性、冷静的人如何通过加剧歇斯底里来保护自己不受疯狂恐慌性购买的影响的。
报纸得闭嘴，别再吓唬人了。
My dad said to me today: ‘On our way to you we got caught in the awful traffic on the main road of people waiting to get into the garage! I had half a tank so don’t need to panic buy but filled up anyway as I’d been waiting there 20 minutes already…’
Errr… Dad…
我爸爸今天跟我说：“在去你家的路上，我们被堵在了主干道上，人们都在等着进加油站！我还有半箱油，所以不必恐慌购买，但还是加满了，因为我已经在那里等了20分钟了（不买点就等亏了）……”
哦…爸爸啊…
Yep. As soon as there's a waft of panic buying, every reasonable person is now thinking, myself included, "oh crumbs, I'd better make sure I head to a petrol station soon just in case".
So maybe I'd wait until I'm almost empty, but instead I fill up when I'm 1/4 tank left. Everybody filling up that little bit earlier than they otherwise would is putting all the fuel purchasing that would have happened this week into the past few days.
Of course, in the next few days all the cars will be full with petrol and we'll be back to how we were because you can't just keep topping up without using more
是的。一旦出现恐慌性购买，每个理性的人，包括我自己在内，都会想“哦，天哪，我最好尽快去加油站，以防万一”。
所以我原本可能会等到油箱几乎空了，但现在剩下1/4油箱时就去加满。每个人都比平时更早地加满油，这就把原本在本周发生的所有燃料购买行为都提前到了过去几天里。
当然，在接下来的几天里，所有的车都会装满汽油，我们会回到以前的状态，因为你不能不用掉更多的汽油后才能补加
Where I live in Kent there isn't a station for 15 miles either way that isn't dry. It's fucked up so many people. I'm hearing of loved ones unable to get to dying relatives, people unable to get to work, wedding cars unable to make bookings for peoples special days, plans cancelled. I've seen ambulances and tankers in queues at petrol stations, it's just insane. What makes me really think though is what would happen in a real food shortage, this country would go to shit literally overnight. The Tory 'I'm alright Jack' has permeated the fabric of our once caring society.
Why are they not putting a limit on people buying fuel? Friday morning it was already carnage. I saw a guy in an Audi filling up 8 or more petrol cans at a forecourt, so fucked.
我住在肯特郡，房方圆15英里内没有哪个加油站不是空的。它搞砸了很多人。我听说心爱的人无法接近弥留的亲人，人们无法去上班，婚礼车辆无法为人们的特殊日子而预订，计划被取消。我见过救护车和油罐车在加油站排队，这太疯狂了。我真正在想的是，如果发生真正的食物短缺，这个国家会在一夜之间变得一团糟。保守党的“只管自己好，不管别人死活”已经渗透到我们这个曾经充满爱心的社会。
为什么他们不限制人们购买燃料？周五早上的局面已经是一场“大屠杀”了。我看到一个开着奥迪的人在加油站给8个或更多的油罐加满油，太cao蛋了。

Hmm. So there was a slight issue with petrol supply to the stations, now there is none because people are idiots.
Whats the betting that half the people panic buying wont use that fuel in a few weeks? This happened last time, a neighbour with 2 cars, 1 not used for weeks at a time, filled both up, and both cars sat there.
I mean, one option is to drive a little less, but that might mean walking to the shop 100 yards away. The horror.
Just wait until a huge number of cars are electric. One slight mention of a capacity issue and boom, blackouts. I really feel like the media should not cover things like this, panic buying is absolutely guaranteed if they do.
嗯。加油站的汽油供应有个小问题，现在没有了，因为人们都是白痴。
有谁敢打赌，半数恐慌性购买的人都不会在几周内用到这些抢购来的燃料呢？上次发生了这样的事，一个邻居有两辆车，一辆几周没开，都装满了，然后两辆车都停在那里没动。
我的意思是，一个选择是少开车，但那可能意味着步行到100码外的商店。太“可怕”了。
等到大量汽车都是电动的时候再看吧。只要（媒体）稍微提到产能问题，就会突然停电。我真的觉得媒体不应该报道这样的事情，如果它们提了，出现恐慌性购买是绝对肯定的。
Not sure if it's a human thing or a UK thing but there are so many people with the 'me first, I before all' mentality. People buying tons of toilet roll then trying to flog it on for a massive markup springs to mind
我不确定这是全人类的问题还是只是英国的问题，但有很多人的心态是“我优先，我要先于其他人”。人们购买成吨的卫生纸，然后试图将其出售，以赚取巨额利润
Keeping my fingers crossed this all blows over by the middle of next week as my other half has two hospital appointments and can’t drive at the moment. I currently have about 70 miles left in my tank, it’s about 10 miles each way so I’ll be scraping it if hasn’t.
我祈祷这一切能在下周中期过去，因为我的另一半有两个医院预约，但现在不能开车。我的油箱现在还能开70英里，去医院单程大概10英里，所以如果开不了，那我就cao蛋了。

Spent some time yesterday watching the chaos unfold. The station being very obvious closed and blocked by traffic cones yet drivers still queuing all the way up the road blocking buses. People using the exit as an entrance to avoid the queues/cones only to realise all the pumps are turned off. Drivers getting out of their cars to give each other and the workers grief. Eventually the police were sent out to move people on.
昨天花了些时间观察这场混乱的发展。很明显，加油站被交通锥挡住了，但司机们仍然在路上排队，挡住了公共汽车。人们把出口当作入口，以避免排队，结果发现所有的加油机都关闭了。司机们从车里出来彼此间和对加油工们找麻烦。最后警察被派去驱赶人们。

It's the media's fault. They shouldn't be allowed to report on things like this, they only make it worse.
这是媒体的错。它们不应该被允许报道这样的事情，它们只会让事情变得更糟。
