买油&存油

When the coronavirus pandemic hit, the global economy ground to a halt.

当新冠疫情来袭的时候，全球的经济陷入了停滞。

Shutdowns in countries across the globe put a brake on travel and on industrial production, and demand for the oil that fuels those industries dried up.

全球多个国家的经济停摆给旅游业和工业生产来了个急刹车，对原油的需求也随之枯竭。

But oil suppliers didn't stop pumping straight away, and the result was a massive glut of crude on the market.

然而，原油供应商并没有立即停止开采，结果就导致了如今市场上原油的大量囤积。

Storage facilities filled up, and speculators who had bought oil futures found themselves desperately casting about for places to put the oil that was about to be delivered to them.

仓库都已经填满了，而那些看好原油未来市场的战略家们现在也非常着急的想要寻找一些地方来储存即将送来的原油。

At one point, in April, oil prices fell below zero as investors found they had to pay people to take the oil off their hands.

在四月的某些时候，油价一度跌到了零一下以至于那些投资者们发现自己不得不花钱请人来把油运走。

Suddenly, oil storage capacity became an enormously valuable commodity.

这时候，原油储存库突然变成了一种稀缺资源。

Oil storage companies began to innovate to create new capacity, and people who'd never considered storing oil started retooling to take advantage of an unusual opportunity.

一些石油存储公司开始在扩容方面动脑筋，而那些从没想过自己会储存石油的人们，也开始利用这千载难逢的机会改造设备用来储存石油。
