China Scrambles To Stem Power Shortages

China is facing temporary power shortages that could have a ripple effect on global energy markets if not resolved soon. The widespread shortages stem from a number of factors, but at their core is a pricing and distribution system that is having trouble keeping up with the country's booming demand for electricity.


國正面臨著暫時的電力短缺﹐如果這個問題不能很快得到解決﹐則可能會給全球能源市場帶來連鎖效應。造成中國大範圍電力短缺的原因很多﹐但核心問題是定價和分配體制已經難以跟上中國快速增長的電力需求。

評論: wsj 的翻譯多自以為是:

a ripple effec 並不是
"連鎖效應"

"分配體制 "或應為 "配電系統"
