Yet whereas petrostates such as Nigeria and Angola have ploughed money into industrial white elephants, Botswana has invested in future sources of wealth, including education and infrastructure.

然而，当尼日利亚和安哥拉等石油国家将资金投入到无用的工业项目时，博茨瓦纳却投资于未来的财富来源，包括教育和基础设施建设。

And then we see this horrible scene where the United States goes begging other petrostates, like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and Iran, to pump up more and more fossil fuels.

然后我们看到这个可怕的场景，美国乞求其他石油国家，如沙特阿拉伯、委内瑞拉和伊朗，提供越来越多的化石燃料。

Within months of President Joe Biden fist-bumping Muhammad Bin Salman, the de facto Saudi ruler, in Riyadh in July, the petrostate and its allies in the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) declared they would cut output instead.

总统乔·拜登 7 月在利雅得与沙特事实上的统治者穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼拳头相撞后的几个月内，这个石油国家及其在石油输出国组织 (OPEC) 中的盟友宣布他们将减产。

When petrostates like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Canada and Russia declared they were going to keep it in the ground, they were paid in carbon coins, on a timetable matched to how quickly they would have extracted and sold these fuels.

当委内瑞拉、沙特阿拉伯、加拿大和俄罗斯等石油大国宣布他们将把它留在地下时，他们得到的报酬是碳币，时间表与他们提取和销售这些燃料的速度相匹配。
