翻译下这段吧
The energy crisis unleashed by Russia’s war on Ukraine is crushing Europe’s consumers and panicking its politicians. Natural-gas prices are eight times higher than they were last summer and traders expect precious little respite over the coming year. Global oil prices are nearly twice their level in January 2021. The result is rampant rises in living costs. By October a household in Britain could be paying more than £3,500 ($4,200) a year for energy, more than three times last year’s bill, leading the Bank of England to warn of inflation passing 13% before the year is out. Annual consumer-price inflation rates are already in double digits in half of the euro area’s member countries.
俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争引发的能源危机正在压垮欧洲的消费者，也让欧洲的政客们感到恐慌。天然气价格是去年夏天的八倍，交易商预计来年的能源危机几乎没有暂缓的时机。全球油价接近2021年1月水平的两倍。其导致的结果是生活成本急剧上升。到10月，英国一个家庭每年可能要支付超过3500英镑（约合4200美元）的能源费用，是去年账单的三倍多，这导致英格兰银行警告说，今年年底前通货膨胀率将超过13%。欧元区半数成员国的年消费价格通胀率已经达到两位数。
