国家统计局数据显示 10月份CPI同比上涨2.1%

China's consumer price index (CPI), a main gauge of inflation, grew 2.1 percent year on year in October, up from September's 1.9 percent, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) announced last Wednesday.

国家统计局上周三发布的数据显示，10月份，通货膨胀的主要指标--全国居民消费价格指数(CPI)同比上涨2.1%，较9月的1.9%有所上涨。

The October data ended previous drops in the past five-consecutive months starting from 2.3 percent in April. On a month-on-month basis, the CPI fell 0.1 percent in October.

10月的数据终结了自4月以来CPI连续5个月下跌的局面。而在月度环比上，CPI在十月份下降了0.1%。

NBS statistician Yu Qiumei attributed the stronger growth of inflation in October largely to a low comparison base from last year.

国家统计局统计师余秋梅认为，10月通胀涨势强劲的主要原因是去年同期的对比基数偏低。

The price of vegetables and fruit rose 13 percent and 6 percent, respectively, year on year in October, compared with 7.5-percent and 6.7-percent increases in September.

十月份的蔬菜和水果价格同比去年分别上涨了13%和6%，相比今年9月份则是分别上涨了7.5%和6.7%。

In addition, the price of services also increased in October, with education service prices rising 4.8 percent year on year, compared with 3.2-percent rise in September.

此外，服务价格在十月份也有所上涨，其中教育服务价格比去年同期上升了4.8%，相比9月份则上升了3.2%。

Since January 2016, CPI has been calculated using a new comparison base and included more products and services, while slightly reducing the weighting of food.

自今年1月起，我国采用一种新的对比基数来计算CPI。该基数囊括了更多的商品与服务，略微降低了食品所占的比重。
