Indeed, the German government is slowly coming to realize that its pessimism about the economy has been misplaced, which is reflected in continuous “upward revisions” of growth forecasts throughout 2006. Recently, the government raised its growth forecasts for this year and next, from 1.6% to 2.3% for 2006, and from 1% to 1.4% for 2007.
事实上，德国政府慢慢地也认识到它对经济的悲观是不正确的，这表现在他们对2006年经济增长的预期不断的“往上调整”。最近，政府把它对今年和明年的经济增长预期分别从1.6%调到了2.3%，以及从1%调到了1.4%。我想随着政府面对经济强劲的上升势头，他们还会对经济增长预期继续往上调整。
