The shortage has been partlyblamed by another outbreak of avian flu, but also a delayed knock-on impact from millions of birds dyingduring the heatwave over the summer.禽流感的爆发导致约4800万只鸡被扑杀，一些超市已经开始限制消费者购买鸡蛋的数量。Supplies are now underthreat as farmers are fighting to tackle soaring costs alongside an outbreak ofbird flu.报道称，农民因为能源、燃料、劳动力和饲料等方面的开支飞涨而遭受重创。Speaking to MailOnline,the outspoken farmer said: ‘It’s notbecause we as farmers don’t want to produce eggs, it’s because we can’t affordto produce eggs. All we want is a fair price to cover our costs and continueproducing British eggs.’在接受《每日邮报》采访时，一位直言不讳的农民说道：“并不是因为我们作为农民不想生产鸡蛋，而是因为我们负担不起生产鸡蛋的费用。我们想要的只是一个公平的价格来支付我们的成本并继续生产英国鸡蛋。Food and farming ministryDefra said that there was no ‘immediate threat’ to the food supply chain,including eggs. 英国环境食品和乡村事务部表示，食物短缺对包括鸡蛋在内的食品供应链没有“直接威胁”。 Outspoken 英[aʊtˈspəʊkən]；美[aʊtˈspoʊkən]Adj. 坦率的，直言不讳的Knock-on 英[ˌnɒk ˈɒn]；美[ˌnɑːk ˈɑːn]Adj. 使产生连锁反应的Bemused英[bɪˈmjuːzd]；美[bɪˈmjuːzd]Adj. 困惑的；茫然的Twig 英[twɪɡ]；美[twɪɡ]v. （突然地）懂得，理解
