One could have predicted that a year in which Congress stopped actively impeding economic recovery would be a year in which the pace of expansion in output and employment picked up. If the new Congress in 2015 refrains from standoffs, sequesters, and shutdowns, there is no reason why the economy cannot continue to do well.
你或许已经预测到，国会不再大力妨碍经济复苏的年份理应是产出扩张速度和就业抬头的时候。如果2015年的新国会仍能避免僵局、自动减赤和政府关门，就没有理由怀疑经济能继续表现抢眼。
