While the data were hardly devastating relative to a consensus forecast of 8.2%, many (including me) expected a second consecutive quarterly rebound from the slowdown that appeared to have ended in the third quarter of 2012. China doubters around the world were quick to pounce on the number, expressing fears of a stall, or even a dreaded double dip.
发自纽黑文——今年第一季度中国7.7%的年GDP增长率比很多人预计的要缓慢得多。虽然这一数据相对普遍8.2%的预测来说并不是灾难性的，但很多人（包括我）都预计这次放缓——这种放缓似乎在2012年第三季度就已经结束了——后出现连续性的二次反弹。而世界各地的中国怀疑论者则迅速针对这一数据大做文章，担心经济停滞甚至出现可怕的二次衰退。
