[Study Group Questions]

1. How did the oil shock affect the global economy?
2. What effects did the oil shock have on our daily lives?
3. What are some ways to reduce our dependence on oil?


SPEECH PRACTICE

Talk about the recent oil shock.
최근 유가 파동에 대해 이야기해 주세요.



[Response]

The coronavirus pandemic led to a rapid economic contraction. Global demand for oil also took a nosedive. This was largely due to much less demand in China, which is a major consumer of petroleum products. OPEC member-nations and other oil-producing countries entered negotiations for the reduction in oil production. However, the negotiations fell through because of Russia's dissent.
As a result, oil prices began to plummet. Prices fell at rates never seen before. On some days, prices fell by 30%, which was unprecedented. Some benchmark oil prices fell to as low as 20 dollars a barrel. The ongoing game of chicken between Saudi Arabia and Russia led to a volatile oil market for quite a while.


[해석]

코로나바이러스 펜데믹으로 경제가 급격히 위축되었다. 그러면서 전 세계 석유 수요도 크게 급감했다. 석유 제품을 많이 소비하는 중국의 수요가 크게 줄어든 영향이 컸다. 이에 석유 수출국기구(OPEC) 회원국과 비회원 산유국들은 원유 감산을 위해 협상에 들어갔다. 그러나 러시아의 반대로 합의는 무산됐다.
이 여파로 유가는 폭락하기 시작했다. 역대 유례가 없을 정도의 급격한 유가 하락이 이어졌다. 하루 낙폭이 전례 없이 30퍼센트를 기록한 날도 있었다. 일부 기준 유가는 배럴당 20달러 선까지 떨어졌다. 사우디아라비아와 러시아의 치킨 게임이 이어지면서 원유 시장의 불안은 상당 기간 지속되었다.

[Dialogue Practice]

A: Global oil prices took a dive last March.

A: Isn't reducing production the right thing to do if there is less demand?
B: I guess each country's interests were at odds.
A: The low oil prices had a major impact on the global economy.
B: The energy companies were hit hardest.
A: Yeah, it increased uncertainty about the economy.
B: I think you're right.

A: 지난 3월에 전 세계 유가가 급락했어.
B: 맞아. 산유국들이 합의에 실패해서 그랬어.

B: 각 나라마다 이해관계가 충돌했겠지.
A: 유가 하락은 세계 경제에도 큰 영향을 끼쳤어.
