托福詞匯之“economic slump 經(jīng)濟(jì)滑坡”

　　剛剛被任命的世界銀行首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家林毅夫認(rèn)為，中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)規(guī)模決定其在奧運(yùn)會(huì)后仍會(huì)高速增長(zhǎng)，不會(huì)出現(xiàn)投資一度下降的經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條。

　　請(qǐng)看外電的報(bào)道：

　　China's economy will avoid a post-Olympics recession, thanks to its vast size, rising consumer spending and big appetite for investment, Justin Lin Yifu, the Peking University professor recently appointed as the World Bank's chief economist said.

　　北京大學(xué)教授、剛剛被任命的世界銀行首席經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家林毅夫說(shuō)：中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)規(guī)模大，居民消費(fèi)不斷增長(zhǎng)，投資需求旺盛，因此中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)不會(huì)在奧運(yùn)后出現(xiàn)衰退。

　　該報(bào)道中，post-Olympics recession 就是“賽后蕭條”，也可以譯成 post-games slump。 recession 多用于經(jīng)濟(jì)報(bào)道中，表示“(經(jīng)濟(jì))不景氣，蕭條”，slump可以用作動(dòng)詞和名詞，表示“(經(jīng)濟(jì))滑坡，(物價(jià)等)暴跌”的意思。如果想表達(dá)“經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)”的意思，可以用 economic growth 或 economic gain;假如經(jīng)濟(jì)“迅速增長(zhǎng)”，就可以用surge，例如：The economy has been surging recently. (近來(lái)經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)高漲。)

　　相關(guān)例句：

　　The current economic slump is an earnest of the major recession to come.

　　當(dāng)前的經(jīng)濟(jì)滑坡預(yù)示著一次大的衰退即將來(lái)臨。

　　The dollar slumps on the foreign exchange market.

　　美元在外匯市場(chǎng)上暴跌。
