Nicola Ryan is concerned about rising inflation. Not just the impact of price increases on her personally, or on her employer One and All, a school uniform maker based in Stockport, north-west England. She’s worried about the impact on all her co-workers who are trying to manage their household budgets. “We’re in a real crisis,” says Nicola, who is director of colleague support. “We know [staff are] really worried.” The summer months will be relatively easy compared with October, when the “pinch-point will be rising [energy] bills”.
尼古拉·瑞恩(Nicola Ryan)担心通货膨胀加剧。不仅仅是价格上涨对她个人的影响，还有她的工作单位One and All，一家总部位于英格兰西北部斯托克波特(Stockport)的校服制造商。她担心这会影响到所有正在努力盘点家庭预算的同事。“我们正处于一场真正的危机中，”同事支持主管尼古拉表示。“我们知道(员工们)真的很担心。”与10月份相比，夏季的几个月将相对容易一些，因为10月份的“症结将是(能源)账单上涨”。
