But the current rise in oil prices shows that people are still eager to embrace "running out of oil" stories - this time focused on China and India - even when short-run factors are to blame. Indeed, the International Energy Agency noted in September that the usual relationship between oil prices and inventory levels has broken down, with prices much higher than the usual relationship would suggest.
但目前的石油价格上涨反映了人们仍然急于相信"石油耗尽"的传闻-这一次归咎于中国和印度-即使这是受短期因素的影响。的确，国际能源机构（IEA）注意到油价和存货水平之间的关系在今年9月脱钩，实际油价比该关系通常所提示的价格要高得多。
