India's inflation accelerated to 9.78% in August from the previous month's provisional reading of 9.22%, the government said Wednesday.

　　印度政府周三表示，印度8月的通货膨胀率加速升至9.78%，高于7月初步数据9.22%。

　　The wholesale price index-based inflation rate, released by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, is a tad above the median 9.70% forecast in a poll of 16 economists.

　　印度工商部（Ministry of Commerce and Industry）发布的基于批发物价指数（wholesale price index）的通胀率略高于此前对16位经济学家的调查得出的9.70%的预测中值。

　　The WPI, used as a measure of inflation, rose 0.6% to 154.9 in August from a provisional 154.0 in July.

　　用于衡量通胀水平的批发物价指数在8月份上涨0.6%，至154.9，高于7月份的初步数据154.0。

　　The index, which measures producer prices, is used as a proxy for inflation as the government reports wholesale price data more quickly and comprehensively than consumer price data.

　　衡量生产者价格的批发物价指数被用于衡量通货膨胀水平，因为相比消费者价格指数，政府报告批发物价指数的速度更快，也更全面。

　　The government raised the inflation rate for June to 9.51% from a provisional 9.44% rise reported earlier.

　　印度政府将今年6月的通胀率从此前报告初步数据9.44%上调至9.51%。
