1.Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit.
谢谢你把OPEC峰会办得这么好。
2.To say there's some uncertainty over OPEC's intentions, let alone its capabilities, is something of an understatement.
事实上，要说市场对于欧佩克的意图有些不确定，可能还说轻了，更别提对其能力的不确定了。
3.Saudi Arabia, the world's largest exporter, is so far the only OPEC member that has responded by saying it would pump more oil.
沙特阿拉伯是目前为止欧佩克成员国中唯一一个回应说将增加石油产量的国家。沙特是全球最大的石油出口国。
4.Since the Iran -Iraq war , the two countries have had a gentlemen's agreement to maintain similar quotas within Opec .
自从两伊战争以来，两国都遵循一项君子协定，即在欧佩克内部保持配额相当。
5.Saudi Arabia, the biggest power in OPEC, is a close U. S. ally and is loath to see the group used as a forum to take shots at the West.
身为欧佩克中最具影响力的国家，沙特阿拉伯是美国的亲密盟友，它不会愿意看到这个组织变成一个针对西方国家的场所。
6.That, indeed, is the main reason Opec decided this weekend against trying to force prices up by cutting back output.
实际上，这正是欧佩克（Opec）上周末反对通过减产迫使油价上涨的主要原因。
7.Nevertheless, an Opec official said the meeting was likely to be held and that the preferred date among ministers was October 18-19.
不过，一位欧佩克官员表示，会议可能会召开，各国石油部长倾向的日期是10月18日至19日。
8.OPEC works because Saudi Arabia is prepared to invest in, and carry the opportunity cost of, spare capacity .
欧佩克之所以发挥作用是因为沙特愿意投资闲置产能，并承担由此引发的机会成本。
9.OPEC appears to be sticking by its production cuts, overall supply is down and it feels like the global economy may be leveling off.
欧佩克似乎坚持减产，总供给正在下降并且看上去全球经济可能会保持平稳。
10.OPEC then began to add extra barrels in the fall of 2007, seeing that supplies were tight and prices were beginning to soar.
在2007年秋季，由于看到供应吃紧，价格开始上涨，欧佩克开始增加产量。
