10 Second Trivia. In economic terms, two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth is known as what? Depression, Deflation, Recession, or Regression. When a country’s gross domestic product shrinks for two quarters in a row, a recession is underway.

十秒快速问答。在经济方面,连续两个季度经济负增长被称为什么?萧条、通货紧缩、衰退。当一个国家的国内生产总值连续两个季度萎缩时,经济就开始衰退了。

Just the fear of the recession can cause stock markets to shutter. On Wednesday the Dow Jones Industrial Average, an index of 30 significant U.S. stocks, dropped 800 points. And as you see on the left side of your screen, that’s more than three percent overall from where the Dow started the day. The main reason was because of something called the Treasury Bond. On Wednesday morning, the 10 year Treasury Bond dropped just below the two year Treasury Bond. OK. Why is that significant? Because every time that’s happened in recent decades, a recession has followed.

仅仅是对经济衰退的恐惧就能导致股市崩盘。周三,道琼斯工业平均指数下跌800点。就像在屏幕的左边看到的,这比道琼斯指数当天的起点高出了3%。主要原因是国债。周三上午,10年期国债价格略低于两年期国债。为什么这很重要?因为在最近几十年里,每一次这样的事情发生,随之而来的就是经济衰退。

In fact, the last time the 10 and two year Treasury Bonds flipped was in 2007 at the beginning of the Great Recession, but this doesn’t necessarily mean we’re at the dawn of a new one. The U.S. economy is strong. Unemployment is historically low. Consumer spending is high. These are all good indicators for the economy.

事实上,上一次10年期和2年期美国国债的标售是在2007年大衰退(Great Recession)开始时,但这并不一定意味着我们正处于新一轮衰退的开端。美国经济强劲。失业率处于历史低位。消费者支出很高。这些都是经济的良好指标。

So a leading U.S. investment analyst expects the economy to slow down but not go into a recession despite the Treasury Bond flip. Still, the change led investors to sell stock in companies and move it into bonds. A less risky place to keep money in uncertain times and that’s what caused the stock market to take such a dive.

因此,一位领先的美国投资分析人士预计,尽管美国国债价格下跌,美国经济增长势头放缓,但不会陷入衰退。不过,投资者抛售公司股票,转而投资债券。在不确定时期把钱放在风险较小的地方,这就是股市暴跌的原因。
