不断上涨的燃料价格将英国的通货膨胀率推高至3.5%。根据英国国家统计局(ONS)的数据,截至9月份,英国的通货膨胀率已从3.1%上升至3.5%。
Surging fuel prices push UK inflation rate to 3.5% ahead of Budget Inflation accelerated to 3.5% from 3.1% in the year to September, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
在英国财政大臣约翰·希利(John Healey)提交首份预算报告之前,物价上涨的速度加快了,这主要是由于汽油和柴油价格的急剧上涨所致。
The pace of UK price rises accelerated ahead of Chancellor John Healey's first Budget, pushed up by sharp increases in petrol and diesel prices.
近几个月来,由于中东和欧洲的冲突持续影响全球石油供应,为车辆加满燃料的成本大幅增加。英国国家统计局表示,9月份的汽油价格达到了2022年8月以来的最高水平,柴油价格也同样飙升。
The cost of filling up a vehicle has soared in recent months as conflicts in the Middle East and Europe continued to squeeze global oil supplies. Petrol prices in September were the highest since August 2022, the ONS said, while diesel also rocketed.
从8月到9月,汽油的平均价格每升上涨了8.2便士,达到169.5便士;柴油价格则上涨至192.5便士。总体而言,在这一时期,机动车燃料的价格上涨了29.8%。
The average price of petrol rose by 8.2p per litre to 169.5p per litre between August and September, while diesel rose to 192.5p per litre. Motor fuel prices overall rose by 29.8% in the period covered by the figures.
英国国家统计局首席经济学家格兰特·菲茨纳(Grant Fitzner)表示,9月份的通货膨胀率创下了近一年来的最高水平。
ONS chief economist Grant Fitzner said September's "notable" increase meant inflation was at its highest rate in almost a year.
中东和乌克兰的战争导致了燃料价格的上涨。伊朗在美国和以色列的攻击后关闭了霍尔木兹海峡(Hormuz Strait),严重扰乱了全球主要的原油运输线路;同时,俄罗斯和乌克兰对彼此基础设施的攻击也影响了全球的石油精炼能力。
The wars in the middle east and Ukraine have pushed up fuel prices. The effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran after US and Israeli attacks has severely disrupted a major global supply line for crude oil, while oil refining capacity has been hampered globally by Russian and Ukrainian attacks on each other's infrastructure.

菲茨纳指出,除了燃料价格外,机票价格、电脑游戏价格以及现场活动的门票价格也出现了上涨。
As well as fuel prices, the increase was driven by rising prices for airfares, computer games and live events, Fitzner said.
距离希利提交预算报告还有一周时间,他表示:“我们知道,中东和欧洲的冲突导致的物价上涨正在影响英国以及世界各国。”他还提到,国际货币基金组织上周赞扬了英国政府的“财政纪律”,并且英国政府刚刚批准从北海的Jackdaw油田开采更多天然气。
With a week to go until he delivers the Budget, Healey said: "We know that price rises from conflicts in the Middle East and Europe are hitting Britain and countries worldwide." He said the International Monetary Fund last week had praised the UK government for its "fiscal discipline", and that the government has just given the go-ahead for getting more gas from the North Sea's Jackdaw field.
他说,10月28日的预算案将“保持这一势头”,方法是遵守政府自我设定的财政规则,并推动“每个邮编地区的增长,同时给企业和家庭一些喘息空间”。
The Budget on 28 October will "keep up this momentum", he said, by sticking to the government's self-imposed fiscal rules, and by driving "growth in every postcode, while giving businesses and families some breathing space".
英国国家统计局(ONS)表示,政府9月份借款250亿英镑,比去年同期高出18亿英镑,因为较高的通胀推高了债务利息成本。这些数据是在该机构发布上述言论之际公布的。
The figures came as the ONS said the government borrowed £25bn in September, £1.8bn higher than a year earlier, as higher inflation helped to push up debt interest costs.
