This message was reinforced by data released on March 14th showing that underlying consumer prices had once again risen faster than expected.

3月14日发布的数据强化了这一信息，数据显示，潜在消费者价格再次以快于预期的速度上涨。

雪上加霜的是，一项衡量通胀的核心指标（剔除了汽油和食品价格，旨在了解潜在价格趋势）的增长速度超过了预期。

Core inflation-which strips out volatile food and energy costs-has been a little more stubborn, but even it has started to soften, in a sign that underlying price pressures are easing.

剔除波动较大的食品和能源价格的核心通胀略显顽固，但就连核心通胀也开始疲软，这表明潜在的价格压力正在缓解。
