This time, the descent has been far milder. From a peak of 11.9% in the first quarter of 2010, China’s annual GDP growth slowed to 7.6% in the second quarter of 2012 – only about half the outsize 8.2-percentage-point deceleration experienced during the Great Recession.
这一回，经济下滑要温和得多。中国的年GDP增长率从2010年一季度的峰值11.9%下降至2012年二季度的7.6%，降幅只有大衰退期间8.2个百分点的一半。
