Firms and consumers reacted to this year’s shocks by “temporarily” slowing consumption, capital spending, and job creation. As long as the shocks don’t worsen (and as some become less acute), confidence and growth will recover in the second half of the year, and stock markets will rally again.
乐观者说，全球经济只不过撞上了一段“淡光景”。为了应对今年的各种冲击，企业和消费者“暂时”减缓了消费、投资和创造就业岗位的活动。如果有关情况不恶化（某些方面且有所缓和），到下半年，信心和增长就将恢复，而股市也将重振。
