尼古拉斯·沃特、伯纳黛特·基奥 报道 据BBC《新闻之夜》获得的数据显示，在政府呼吁全国民众为应对危机储备物资后，一些大型零售商的必需品销量出现大幅增长。
By Nicholas Watt, Bernadette Kehoe Some major retailers have seen a dramatic increase in sales of essential goods after the government called on the nation to stock up in case of a crisis, according to figures obtained by BBC Newsnight.
冰岛超市连锁店告诉该节目，在周末罐头产品销量增长40%后，“很明显”消费者听取了警告。
The Iceland supermarket chain told the programme it was "clear" that consumers had listened to warnings after it saw a 40% increase in sales of tinned products over the weekend.
销量上升发生在国防大臣韦斯·斯特里廷上周表示人们应储备物资以应对网络攻击或极端天气等紧急情况之后。
The rise in sales came after Defence Secretary Wes Streeting said last week that people should stockpile goods to be prepared for an emergency such as a cyber attack or an extreme weather event.
斯特里廷提到的许多物品均出现在《新闻之夜》汇总的销量激增商品清单中。《新闻之夜》还发现：罗伯特·戴亚斯报告称，收音机销量较上周增长160%；梅普林表示，收音机销量上涨92%，手电筒销量上涨284%，移动电源销量上涨106%。
Many of the items cited by Streeting appeared in the list of goods gathered by Newsnight whose sales have shot up. Newsnight also found: Robert Dyas reported a 160% increase in sales of radios compared with last week; Maplin said radio sales are up by 92%, sales of torches have gone up by 284%, and power banks have seen a rise of 106%.
梅普林的数据涵盖政府上周发布公告以来至今的时期，与上月同期相比。
The Maplin figures cover the period since the government's announcement last week compared with the same period last month.
梅普林董事总经理奥利·马歇尔表示：“在‘做好准备’公告发布几小时内，我们就看到人们抢购基本物品——手电筒、手摇收音机、移动电源。手电筒销量在三天内近乎翻了四倍，收音机销量几乎翻倍。”
"Within hours of the Be Ready announcement we saw people reach for the basics - a torch, a wind-up radio, a power bank. Torch sales nearly quadrupled and radio sales almost doubled in three days," said Ollie Marshall, managing director at Maplin.
“这些是简单、实惠的产品，能在断电时让家庭保持联系和获取信息，令人鼓舞的是人们认真对待了这一建议。” 10月22日，斯特里廷表示，人们应确保每人每天储备三升水；橱柜里备有罐头食品；婴儿食品；电池供电的手电筒和手机充电包。
"These are simple, affordable products that keep a household connected and informed when the power goes out, and it's encouraging to see people taking the advice seriously." On 22 October, Streeting said that people should ensure they have three litres of water per person per day; tinned goods in the cupboard; baby food; battery powered torches and mobile phone charging packs.
针对某些商品零售销售的增加，国防大臣在接受《新闻之夜》采访时表示：“看到人们采取实际措施做好准备，令人鼓舞。在家里备一些日常必需品，从罐头食品到手电筒，有助于家庭为可能出现的中断做好准备，无论是洪水、停电还是水管爆裂。我们都可以为让英国更具韧性尽一份力。”
In response to the increase in retail sales of certain items, the defence secretary told Newsnight: "It's encouraging that people are taking practical steps to be ready. Having a few everyday essentials at home, from tinned food to torches, helps households prepare for disruption, whether that's flooding, power cuts or burst pipes. We can all play our part in making Britain more resilient."
冰岛超市的一位发言人告诉该BBC节目：“很明显，消费者听取了政府的信息，因为我们看到周末罐头产品的销量增长了40%，瓶装水的销量也很强劲。这些产品的供应仍然充足。”《新闻之夜》还采访了独立零售商，他们报告称，国防大臣强调的商品销量出现激增。
An Iceland spokesperson told the BBC programme: "It's clear consumers have listened to the government's message as we have seen a 40% increase in sales of tinned products over the weekend and strong sales of bottled water too. Our supplies of these products remain healthy." Newsnight also spoke to independent retailers who reported a spike in sales of goods highlighted by the defence secretary.
来自“军士预备者”在线商店的乔什·普林格尔表示，他的销量增加了十倍：“周三我们还是一家小店铺。然后政府启动了‘做好准备’活动，我们简直不敢相信所看到的情况——订单接踵而至。其中大部分都是手摇收音机。”
Josh Pringle, from Sgt Prepper's online store, said his sales had increased tenfold: "We were a small outfit on Wednesday. And then the government launched the Be Ready campaign and we couldn't believe what we were seeing – order after order after order.
林肯·迈尔斯，Preppers Shop UK的创始人，告诉《新闻之夜》，政府宣布后销量增长了650%。“关于离网生活的一切，似乎都是人们目前购买的关键。”
