As fuel prices reach the highest level in the UK since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Scottish islanders are feeling the pain more than most(比大多数人更感痛苦). On the mainland(本土，大陆), the price of diesel has soared(飙升) to a record high(历史新高) of 200.01p a litre(每升), bringing the cost of filling an average family car to more than £110, according to the RAC(英国汽车协会). Petrol has risen by a third since the start of the Iran war at the end of February, averaging 174.71p – increasing to 195.64p in motorway service areas(高速公路服务区).
随着燃油价格升至英国自俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以来的最高水平，苏格兰岛民比大多数人更能感受到切肤之痛。根据英国汽车协会（RAC）的数据，本土柴油价格已飙升至每升200.01便士的历史新高，加满一辆普通家用车的油要花费超过110英镑。自2月底伊朗战争爆发以来，汽油价格上涨了三分之一，均价达到174.71便士，而在高速公路服务区更是涨至195.64便士。
In the Hebrides and Shetland, prices at the forecourt(加油站前院) have jumped even higher(涨得更高), with some fuel stations selling diesel for more than 220p a litre during the initial(最初的) rise.
在赫布里底群岛和设得兰群岛，加油站的油价涨得更高，在最初涨价期间，一些加油站的柴油售价超过每升220便士。
While European governments appear to have staved off a US export ban that could have sent prices even higher, in Shetland the lack of competition and the cost of shipping to remote areas have made it the most expensive place in the UK for fuel.(尽管欧洲各国政府似乎已避免了一场可能进一步推高油价的美国出口禁令，但在设得兰群岛，缺乏竞争以及向偏远地区运输的成本，使其成为全英燃油最贵的地方。) The ramifications(后果，影响) for island life have been immediate.
