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.

早餐被称为一天中最重要的一餐,在今后的日子里早餐的价格也将越来越贵。因为早餐中含有的食物价格都在上涨。而食物价格上涨的原因也有理可依,例如一场病毒感染杀死了美国近百万的猪。另一些原因混合在一起致使早餐价格贵得令人难以接受。

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.

对一些人来讲,早晨能有说有笑的摊上一个煎蛋就是最美好的开始。煎蛋含有大量的脂肪和油脂,这一早餐形式取悦人们很多年。但是这一英式早餐可能面临涨价危机。

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.

拿这满满一盘英式早餐来讲,盘子里的任何一种食物都涨价了。就算你不选择这种早餐,想少要一些,或者要一些吐司面包或者谷物类的食物,哈哈,抱歉,那也涨价了。

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.

美国一场火灾致使猪群数量明显减少,受其影响,今年超市里的香肠和培根价格已经有至少40%的涨幅。如果你只想泡一些麦片粥就着吐司吃的话,还要提前考虑一下政治地理影响。像今年受乌克兰危机影响,小麦价格已经上涨了近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.

乌克兰是主要玉米生产国之一,也是最大的小麦出口国之一。当我们四处观望寻找根源的时候,我们发现克里米亚存在问题。光靠克里米亚的出口量就达到了整个乌克兰出口总量的10%,所以此次出口量减少的原因可能受其政治环境影响。

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.

巴西作为世界上最大咖啡供应商,受其干旱气候影响,今年咖啡价格已经上涨近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.

干旱气候同样影响了今年橘子产量,受其影响,今年橘汁价格目前为止已经上涨10%。受全球厄尔尼诺现象影响,大量降雨袭击美国南部和印度部分地区,澳大利亚则干旱少雨,导致可可价格上涨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.

供应与需求之间的不同点在任何特定的一年都是息息相关的,可可价格在最近12个月里已经涨幅近50%,任何天气带来的影响都会直接导致价格的上涨。

Perhaps, then, best to stick to water.

或许喝水是最好的选择。
