我的譯文

People in the petroleum industry have different views about when the demand is going to peak. Royal Dutch Shell argues that it will only be a little more than a decade, but before that, the oil prices will also be affected.

經(jīng)濟學(xué)人原文

The oil industry is divided about when to expect peak demand; Royal Dutch Shell says that it could be little more than a decade away. The prospect will weigh on prices long before then.
