Prices are continuing to rise at their fastest rate for more than 40 years, driven by higher petrol and food costs.

由于汽油和食品價格飛漲，英國持續上漲的物價已突破了40多年來的最高水平。

UK inflation, the rate at which prices rise, jumped to 9.4% in the 12 months to June from 9.1% in May, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.

英國國家統計局稱，英國的年通脹率從5月的9.1%飆升到了6月的9.4%。

Fuel prices have soared in recent months, driven by the war in Ukraine and moves by the European Union to reduce its dependence on Russian oil.

受烏克蘭戰爭和歐盟為減少對俄石油依賴而采取的措施的影響，英國燃料價格在近幾個月大幅上漲。

Average petrol prices stood at 184p per litre in June, the ONS said, the highest since records began in 1990 and up from 129.7p a year earlier. The monthly rise was also the largest on record.

統計局稱，6月英國汽油均價為每升184便士，這是自1990年有記錄以來的最高價格。就在一年前，英國汽油均價為每升129.7便士。單月漲幅也創下了歷史新高。

Milk, cheese and eggs saw the biggest rises in June, latest figures show, with the prices of vegetables, meat and ready meals also up.

Prices charged in restaurants and for accommodation have also increased, climbing by 8.6% in the year to June, the ONS said.

Other countries around the world are also experiencing a cost of living squeeze, with many affected by the same global factors as the UK.

世界上的其他國家也在遭受生活成本上漲帶來的壓力，許多國家都和英國一樣受到了同樣的全球因素的影響。

Paul Dales, chief UK economist at consultancy Capital Economics, said the two main causes of inflation globally were surging energy prices and worker shortages.

咨詢機構凱投宏觀的首席英國經濟學家保羅·戴爾斯稱，全球通貨膨脹的兩大主因是能源價格飛漲和勞動力短缺。

Mr Dales said the "combined influence" of Brexit and the pandemic had resulted in shortages of workers, due to fewer workers coming to the UK from overseas and a greater share of people of working age "have either become unable to work or decided they no longer want to or need to work".

戴爾斯指出，英國脫歐和大流行病的雙重影響導致了勞動力的短缺。一方面是由于從海外來英國的工人減少，另一方面是因為更多勞動年齡人口“要么失去勞動能力，要么不愿意或不需要再工作”。

The Bank of England has warned inflation will reach 11% this year.

英格蘭銀行警告稱，今年英國的通脹率將會達到11%。
