Europe’s largest economy, Germany, is now going into the doldrums. The Ifo Business Climate index, which, though based on a survey for Germany, is regarded as Europe’s most important economic activity indicator, has been falling with few interruptions since the autumn of last year.
欧洲最大的经济体德国现在正在进入经济停滞状态。Ifo商业景气指数虽然建立在对德国的调查上，但是它也被认为是欧洲最重要的经济活动指标，该指标自去年秋天以来几乎不受阻碍的不断下降。它现在显然处于显示经济下滑的区域内。
