The good news is that economic growth in the euro-zone economy appears to be picking up (even in Italy). Though second-quarter GDP growth was weak — the euro-zone average was only 0.3% year on year – third-quarter data are indicating a sustained economic pick-up in the second half of the year.
好消息是：欧元区国家的经济增长似乎正趋于好转（意大利也不例外）。尽管第二季度的国内生产总值仍不尽如人意，欧元区年均增长率只有区区0.3%，但第三季度的统计数据显示：下半年经济增长正在持续性地恢复，只是消费还略显疲软。
