賴(lài)世雄英語(yǔ)新聞聽(tīng)力通 第47期:經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退致數(shù)千人失業(yè)

(Bloomberg)Taiwan's economic growth has dropped to its slowest rate in 26 years.

(彭博信息)臺(tái)灣的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)率創(chuàng)下二十六年來(lái)的最低點(diǎn)。

The cause of the drop may be falling overseas demand for goods produced in Taiwan.

下跌的原因可能是海外市場(chǎng)對(duì)臺(tái)灣制造的產(chǎn)品需求量減低。

This downturn is costing thousands of workers their jobs.

這次的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退造成數(shù)千人失業(yè)。

This trend may continue until the end of the year.

這種趨勢(shì)可能會(huì)持續(xù)到年底。
