Investors are talking of “green shoots” of recovery and of positive “second derivatives of economic activity” (continuing economic contraction is the first, negative, derivative, but the slower rate suggests that the bottom is near). As a result, stock markets have started to rally in the US and around the world.
投资者正在谈论经济复苏的“绿色嫩芽”，以及正向的“经济行为的第二衍生物”（持续的经济紧缩是负向的第一衍生物，但其速度的不断减缓表明底部已经临近）。结果是美国和全世界的股市均开始回升。市场似乎相信受到巨大影响的企业和金融公司利润在历尽艰辛之后终会得到恢复。
