意大利财政部长詹卡洛·焦尔杰蒂表示，他对飙升的通胀感到担忧，这反映了中东战争的影响。
Italian Finance Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti says that he’s concerned about surging inflation, which reflects the impact of war in the Middle East.
在周五公布的一系列令人失望的物价和增长数据之后，他在罗马对记者表示，总理焦尔吉娅·梅洛尼的政府正在与国际伙伴提出这一问题。
In the wake of a raft of dismal price and growth data on Friday, he told reporters in Rome that Premier Giorgia Meloni’s government is raising the matter with international partners.
“战争对能源大宗商品的影响理所当然地引起担忧，”焦尔杰蒂说。“我们在通胀方面所看到的，不幸的是剧烈后果。”他在意大利的一个黯淡日子里发表了上述言论，当时工会呼吁总罢工以抗议生活成本压力，而令人失望的数据展示了政府面临的经济挑战。
“The impact of wars on energy commodities is something that rightly causes concern,” Giorgetti said. “What we are seeing regarding inflation is, unfortunately, the dramatic consequence.”He spoke on a bleak day for Italy, with unions calling for a general strike to protest against cost-of-living pressures, and disappointing data showcasing the government’s economic challenge.
根据早些时候发布的数据，第三季度增长意外停滞，而10月通胀率飙升至5.6%，远超任何经济学家的预测。由伊朗战争引发的能源危机推动的消费者物价结果，看起来很可能成为主要欧元区国家中迄今为止最高的。
Growth unexpectedly stalled in the third quarter, while inflation surged far more than any economist predicted to 5.6% in October, according to numbers released earlier. The result for consumer prices, stoked by the energy crisis stemming from the Iran war, looks likely to be by far the highest in a major euro zone country.
这些经济数据对梅洛尼及其内阁构成了挫折，后者刚刚在明年大选前敲定了最终预算案。
The economic data are a setback for Meloni and her cabinet, which just agreed on its final budget before elections next year.
该预算案主要旨在为中产阶级减税并缓解生活成本危机，包括削减年轻人薪资奖金税收以及旨在降低35岁以下人群租金管制租赁税收的措施。
The budget is mainly aimed at cutting taxes for the middle class and easing the cost-of-living crisis, including measures to cut taxes on salary bonuses for younger people and measures aimed at lowering taxes on rent-stabilized leases for under-35s.
此前，本月早些时候主要由年轻意大利人参加的抗议活动随之而来。其中一些演变为暴力事件，促使梅洛尼进一步收紧治安措施。
That follows protests mainly attended by younger Italians earlier this month. Some of those became violent, prompting Meloni to further tighten the screws on law and order.
