美国总统特朗普在英国政府批准北海“杰克道”气田开采后，对首相安迪·伯纳姆表示赞扬。
The US president has praised Burnham after the government allowed gas drilling in the North Sea's Jackdaw field.
文/埃拉·基普林 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五对记者表示，他已与伯纳姆通话，并称这一决定将“让英国成为一个非常富有的国家”。
By Ella Kipling US President Donald Trump has praised Prime Minister Andy Burnham for the UK government's decision to approve production from the North Sea's Jackdaw gas field. He said he had spoken with Burnham, telling reporters on Friday that the decision would "make the UK a very rich country".
特朗普说：“另一位首相，前任那个人，斯塔默。他是个非常好的人，但他从未把这事办成，而这位正在办成。” 这一决定因其环境与经济影响引发激烈辩论，且是在经历多年法律挑战后做出的。伯纳姆本周早些时候宣布批准“杰克道”气田钻探开采。
Trump said: "The other prime minister, the previous man, Starmer. He's a very nice man, but he never got it done, and this one is getting it." The decision had been subject to intense debate around its environment and economic impact and came after years of legal challenges. Burnham announced the decision to approve the drilling of the Jackdaw gas field earlier this week.
“杰克道”位于阿伯丁以东150英里（241公里）处，由阿杜拉公司运营，该公司是壳牌与挪威国家能源公司埃奎诺尔的合资企业。
Jackdaw is situated 150 miles (241km) east of Aberdeen and is operated by Adura, a joint venture between Shell and Norwegian state energy firm Equinor.
大臣们表示，首批天然气最早可于本月底生产，有助于为数百万家庭供暖，并同时宣布设立新的能源财富基金。
Ministers said the first gas could be produced by the end of this month, helping heat millions of homes, and also announced the creation of a new energy wealth fund.
环保人士称，该决定将阻碍应对气候变化的努力，对英国能源安全“不会产生任何实质性影响”。
Environmental campaigners say the decision would hamper efforts to tackle climate change and make "no meaningful difference" to UK energy security.
根据英国未来十年天然气需求的官方预测，这表明“杰克道”有潜力在2026年至2036年间满足全国天然气总预计需求的约1.6%。
Based on official forecasts for the amount of gas the UK will need over the next decade, that suggests Jackdaw has the potential to meet around 1.6% of total projected national gas demand between 2026 and 2036.
运营方称，该气田可在数周内接入英国天然气管网，并可持续生产天然气长达11年。特朗普周五对该决定作出回应，但似乎混淆了石油和天然气。他说：“他们正在开放北海油田。我为此督促了他们两年。”
Operators say it could be connected to the Great British gas network within weeks and could produce gas for the next 11 years. Trump responded to the decision on Friday, but appeared to confuse oil and gas. He said: "They're opening up the North Sea oil. I've been after them to do that for two years."
特朗普补充道：“安迪把这事办成了，我想这违背了自由派的原则，但他知道什么是对的。这将使英国成为一个非常富裕的国家。”本周早些时候，周三，特朗普表示这一决定是英国“财富和繁荣的好消息”。
Trump added: "Andy is getting it done, and I guess it's against the liberal principle, but he knows what's right. It's going to make UK a very wealthy country." Earlier this week, on Wednesday, Trump said the decision was "great news for the wealth and prosperity" of the UK.
特朗普在其“真相社交”平台上发文，敦促英国“全力以赴”，并称北海是“世界上最伟大、最繁荣的油区之一”。
Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump urged the UK to go "full blast" and called the North Sea "one of the greatest and most prosperous areas of oil in the world".
关于英国最大的已知未开发油田——位于北大西洋设得兰群岛海岸外的罗斯班克油田——能否开始生产，目前尚未做出决定。
A decision is yet to be taken on whether production can begin at Rosebank, the UK's largest known untapped oil field, which is located off the coast of Shetland in the North Atlantic.
保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺克指责首相在“杰克达”问题上“犹豫不决”，并表示应废除禁止发放新石油和天然气许可证的禁令。
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch accused the prime minister of "dithering" on Jackdaw and said a ban on new oil and gas licences should be repealed.
然而，伯纳姆表示，他的党派在最初的决定上“搞砸了”，因为没有顾及气候义务——他称这些“必须全面考量”。
However, Burnham said her party had "messed up" the original decision by not giving any regard to climate obligations - things he said "have to be considered in the round".
能源大臣米娅塔·范布勒表示，“杰克达”的天然气将于本月进入家庭和企业，但这不会降低今冬的能源账单。
Energy Secretary Miatta Fahnbulleh said gas from Jackdaw would be in homes and businesses this month, but that it would not lower energy bills this winter.
她表示，该决定“符合”具有法律约束力的气候承诺，并补充道：“我们依然坚定地致力于终止发放新的石油和天然气许可证，并在2050年实现净零排放。”环保组织批评批准“杰克达”项目。绿色和平组织联合执行主任阿里巴·哈米德表示，就降低能源账单、提供能源安全和应对气候变化而言，这是“错误的决定”。与此同时，乐施会表示，政府已“径直钻穿了英国的气候承诺”。
She said the decision was "compatible" with legally binding climate commitments, adding: "We remain resolute in ending new licences for oil and gas and achieving net zero by 2050." Environmental groups have criticised the Jackdaw approval. Areeba Hamid, the co-executive director of Greenpeace, said it was "the wrong decision" in terms of lowering energy bills, providing energy security, and addressing climate change. Meanwhile, Oxfam said the government had "drilled straight through the UK's climate commitments".
