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(gòu)凱投宏觀的首席英國經(jīng)濟學(xué)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(dǎo)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%。
