　　The starting point for anyone wanting tounderstand how the world’s energy markets willdevelop over the next 20 years must be China.Companies, bankers, investors and those of us whotry to follow the industry will have to shift ourattention away from local circumstances in Europe orthe US. What happens in both continents isinteresting, but on the world scale it pales intoinsignificance. Even a very radical change in theEuropean market — a real carbon price or a singlecommon energy policy, or indeed the development ofFrench and German shale gas — would be as nothing compared to the transformation that iscoming, as China becomes the dominant force in every part of the energy business.

　　要把握世界能源市场今后20年的发展趋势，必须以中国为出发点。企业、银行家、投资者，还有其他任何密切关注能源行业的人士，必须把注意力从欧洲或美国本地的形势转移开。这两个大陆发生的事情确实值得关注，但放在全球层面上就没那么重要了。即便欧洲市场上出现了根本性的变革，比如确定了碳价格或实行了单一能源政策，或者是法国和德国的页岩气开发取得了实质性进展，与一个即将到来的重大变化——中国将成为能源产业各领域的主导力量——相比，它们就都不值一提。

　　Consider a few facts and projections. The facts are taken from the BP Statistical Review, whilethe projections are from the International Energy Agency annual outlook and reflect thegeneral consensus of private sector forecasters

　　我们来看一些事实和预测。这些事实摘自英国石油公司(BP)的《世界能源统计年鉴》(BP Statistical Reviewof World Energy)，而预测则来自国际能源机构(IEA)的年度展望报告，它们反映了私营部门预测人员的普遍共识。
