We got mostly optimistic view of the economy from Federal Reserve's closely _1_ beige book today. NPR's Teri Schultz reports.

今天美聯(lián)儲在備受關注的褐皮書中表示，大部分人對經(jīng)濟持樂觀的態(tài)度。NPR新聞的泰瑞·舒爾茨將帶來報道。

Eight times a year, the Fed told us a little stories about the state of the economy, it binds anecdotes into what _2_ the beige book and for September, earlier October the Fed says the nation's economy continue to expand at modest, moderate pace. But the growth slowed in some regions including around Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. Overall, the Fed's context said they were cautious optimistic. Consumer _3_ increased but some areas say companies are nervous to hire given to uncertainty about the Affordable Care Act and the government shutdown. That shutdown has left us in dark but a lot of other government economic data lately, so this beige book is taking on even more importance. Teri Schultz, NPR News.

美聯(lián)儲每年發(fā)布8次報告說明經(jīng)濟狀況，他們稱之為褐皮書，里面會添加一些故事，而在本次9月至10月初的褐皮書中美聯(lián)儲表示，美國的經(jīng)濟繼續(xù)以溫和步伐擴張。但是一些地區(qū)的經(jīng)濟增速放緩，這些地區(qū)包括費城、芝加哥和堪薩斯城。美聯(lián)儲的報告表明，總體來說他們持謹慎樂觀的態(tài)度。消費者支出增加，但一些地區(qū)的企業(yè)對招聘感到擔憂，原因是《平價醫(yī)療法案》和政府關門情況的不確定性。政府關門使我們陷入黑暗，也使許多政府經(jīng)濟數(shù)據(jù)受到影響，所以這次發(fā)布的褐皮書顯現(xiàn)出更為重要的意義。NPR新聞，泰瑞·舒爾茨報道。
