The reality is the opposite: for several reasons, growth will slow further in the second half of 2012 and be even lower in 2013 – close to stall speed. First, growth in the second quarter has decelerated from a mediocre 1.8% in January-March, as job creation – averaging 70,000 a month – fell sharply.
现实正好相反：多种理由表明增长会在2012年下半年有所放缓，在2013年进一步恶化，降至近乎停滞的程度。首先，二季度增长率较一季度的差强人意的1.8%有所减慢，这是因为就业创造——平均每个月创造70 000个岗位——迅速疲软所致。
