Last year, consumers watched their grocery bills soar as the prices of different food items from eggs to butter climbed.
去年，由于鸡蛋、黄油等不同食品价格攀升，消费者的食品消费支出也在飙升。
Don't expect that to change in 2023.
这种情况2023年也不会改变。
Consumers have been spending a lot more at the grocery store.
消费者在杂货店的开销要多上很多。
We have seen food prices spike over the last year, most notably eggs.
我们看到食品价格在过去一年里飙升，最明显的是鸡蛋。
We're seeing that across the board though too with other food prices as well.
各个领域都是这样，其他食品也是如此。
The USDA said in its outlook for 2023 that it expects food prices not to climb as high as they have been, but still climb higher.
美国农业部在其2023年展望中表示，预计食品价格不会像以前那样上升过快，但仍会上升。
So don't expect this shift in how much you're paying at the grocery store to go away anytime soon.
因此，不要指望你能很快节省一大笔杂货店的开销。
We mentioned eggs, which has gone up 60%, but other food prices have been hit pretty hard as well.
我们刚刚提到了鸡蛋，鸡蛋价格已经上涨了60%，其他食品价格也受到了相当大的影响。
Butter, for example, the price for butter and margarine is up 35% compared to a year ago.
以黄油为例，与一年前相比，黄油和人造黄油的价格上涨了35%。
Lettuce is another example that's gone up 25%.
生菜价格上涨了25%的例子。
And then other foods, canned fruits and veggies have gone up 18%.
其他食品，水果罐头和蔬菜的价格也上涨了18%。
So we're seeing a lot of different food items jump up in price by double digit percentages.
我们看到许多不同食品的价格以两位数的百分比上涨。
So it's, it's not like a small uptick in what you're paying at the grocery store.
这不像是杂货店里物品价格的小幅上涨。
It's pretty significant.
上涨幅度是很大的的。
It's not gonna be a quick fix.
这种情况不会很快得到解决。
It could take a while before we start to see some changes in prices.
我们可能需要一段时间才能开始看到价格的下调。
And as inflation goes down, that's gonna help too.
通胀率的下降对此也会有所帮助。
But definitely through 2023, you're gonna pay more for food.
但到2023年，你肯定要在食物上花更多的钱。
And then beyond that, it's gonna all depend on, you know, what the demand and supply is for all these items.
除此之外，食物价格将完全取决于商品的需求和供应。
This is why we're seeing these concerns about a recession, because as food prices keep climbing, as layoffs continue to persist among different companies, you might see consumers pull back on how much they spend and that could potentially slow down the economy.
这就是为什么很多人担忧可能出现经济衰退，因为食品价格持续攀升，很多公司仍在裁员，消费者的支出很有可能下降，这可能会减缓经济增长。
That's why we're seeing so many experts raise concerns that we might enter a recession this year.
这就是为什么我们看到这么多专家担心今年可能会出现经济衰退。
