Elizabeth Schulze joins us with those details, and this is not what you want to hear six days before Thanksgiving.

伊麗莎白-舒爾茨（Elizabeth Schulze）為我們帶來了這些細節，這可不是感恩節前六天你想聽到的。

Good morning, Elizabeth.

早上好 伊麗莎白

It's not, Rebecca.

不是的 麗貝卡

Good morning.

早上好。

Definitely not what you want to see when you are stocking up the fridge ahead of the holidays.

這絕對不是你在節前為冰箱備貨時想看到的。

And the average price we see now for a dozen eggs, $3.37.

而我們現在看到的一打雞蛋的平均價格是 3.37 美元。

That is up 30% from one year ago when prices were about $2.

這比一年前上漲了 30%，當時的價格約為 2 美元。

If you go back five years ago, we were averaging $1.28.

如果回到五年前，我們的平均價格是 1.28 美元。

And the key culprit behind these higher prices and shortages on some store shelves is bird flu, which typically does spread quickly during the fall when birds are migrating.

而造成價格上漲和一些商店貨架短缺的罪魁禍首就是禽流感，它通常在秋季鳥類遷徙時迅速傳播。

The Department of Agriculture expects that an increase in bird flu cases will continue to dent egg supply and keep prices high going into next year.

農業部預計，禽流感病例的增加將繼續影響雞蛋供應，並使明年的雞蛋價格居高不下。

Production already dipped 2.6% in October compared to one year ago.

與一年前相比，10 月份的產量已經下降了 2.6%。

But keep in mind, egg prices are up more than any other food group over the past year.

但請記住，在過去的一年裡，雞蛋價格的漲幅超過了任何其他食品類。

Overall grocery costs up just about 1%.

總體雜貨成本僅增長約 1%。

Okay, Elizabeth, thanks.

好的，伊麗莎白，謝謝。
