Breakfast has been called the most important meal of the day, and chances are you`ll be calling it more expensive in the days ahead. The price of many of the things we eat for breakfast is going up. There are tangible direct reasons for this. Such as a virus that has killed millions of pigs in the U.S. Other reasons, will combine to make breakfast prices harder to digest.
早餐被稱為一天中最重要的一餐,在今后的日子里早餐的價(jià)格也將越來(lái)越貴。因?yàn)樵绮椭泻械氖澄飪r(jià)格都在上漲。而食物價(jià)格上漲的原因也有理可依,例如一場(chǎng)病毒感染殺死了美國(guó)近百萬(wàn)的豬。另一些原因混合在一起致使早餐價(jià)格貴得令人難以接受。
For some talking (ph) into a fry-up is the perfect way to start the day. Full of fat and grease, they have satisfied customers for years. But this English staple could be under threat from higher prices.
對(duì)一些人來(lái)講,早晨能有說(shuō)有笑的攤上一個(gè)煎蛋就是最美好的開(kāi)始。煎蛋含有大量的脂肪和油脂,這一早餐形式取悅?cè)藗兒芏嗄?。但是這一英式早餐可能面臨漲價(jià)危機(jī)。
Take this full English breakfast, for example. Everything on this plate - with the exception, perhaps, of the - being just actually increased. But even if you decide you don`t want this, you want something light or something like toast or cereal, well, that`s going up, too.
拿這滿滿一盤(pán)英式早餐來(lái)講,盤(pán)子里的任何一種食物都漲價(jià)了。就算你不選擇這種早餐,想少要一些,或者要一些吐司面包或者谷物類的食物,哈哈,抱歉,那也漲價(jià)了。
Market on sausages and bacon have jumped more than 40 percent this year, after deadly U.S. fire has caused a decline in the nation`s pig herd. And if you want to soak it all up with toast, well, prepare for some geopolitical indigestion. Wheat prices have soared 17 percent so far this year, impacted by the crisis in the Ukraine.
美國(guó)一場(chǎng)火災(zāi)致使豬群數(shù)量明顯減少,受其影響,今年超市里的香腸和培根價(jià)格已經(jīng)有至少40%的漲幅。如果你只想泡一些麥片粥就著吐司吃的話,還要提前考慮一下政治地理影響。像今年受烏克蘭危機(jī)影響,小麥價(jià)格已經(jīng)上漲了近17%。
They are the largest - one of the largest corn producers and one of the largest wheat exporters as well. So, when we look down and we realize Crimea alone, which is part of the - accounts for about ten percent of Ukraine`s exports, that could potentially be disruptive should the political situation escalate.
烏克蘭是主要玉米生產(chǎn)國(guó)之一,也是最大的小麥出口國(guó)之一。當(dāng)我們四處觀望尋找根源的時(shí)候,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)克里米亞存在問(wèn)題。光靠克里米亞的出口量就達(dá)到了整個(gè)烏克蘭出口總量的10%,所以此次出口量減少的原因可能受其政治環(huán)境影響。
Even if you just want liquids, well, that may also leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth.
甚至喝口水都是苦的。
Well, coffee is up almost 59 percent this year alone, following one of the worst ever droughts in Brazil. The world`s biggest coffee producer.
巴西作為世界上最大咖啡供應(yīng)商,受其干旱氣候影響,今年咖啡價(jià)格已經(jīng)上漲近59%。
The dry weather has also impacted the orange harvest. With orange juice up ten percent so far this year. And cocoa is up 12 percent, as the world braces for the El Nino weather phenomenon, which brings heavier rains to places like South America and India and drought conditions in Australia.
干旱氣候同樣影響了今年橘子產(chǎn)量,受其影響,今年橘汁價(jià)格目前為止已經(jīng)上漲10%。受全球厄爾尼諾現(xiàn)象影響,大量降雨襲擊美國(guó)南部和印度部分地區(qū),澳大利亞則干旱少雨,導(dǎo)致可可價(jià)格上漲12%。
The difference between supply and demand in any given year is relatively tight at the moment, cocoa prices have risen by roughly 50 percent during the last 12 months. And any - any weather threat comes along at the moment could have a dramatic effect on further increasing prices.
供應(yīng)與需求之間的不同點(diǎn)在任何特定的一年都是息息相關(guān)的,可可價(jià)格在最近12個(gè)月里已經(jīng)漲幅近50%,任何天氣帶來(lái)的影響都會(huì)直接導(dǎo)致價(jià)格的上漲。
Perhaps, then, best to stick to water.
或許喝水是最好的選擇。
