Falling exports slowed China’s economic expansion in the third quarter to its weakest pace since 2008, with the European debt crisis affecting the world’s second biggest economy.
出口下滑减缓中国经济扩张，自2008年以来，第三季最疲弱，随着欧洲债务危机，影响这个世界第二大的经济体。

The gross domestic product rose 9.1 percent from a year earlier—that’s down from 9.5 percent the previous quarter.
国内生产毛额较去年同期增长9.1％，低于第二季9.5％。

The news follows trade data last week that showed exports to Europe shrank by half in August.

Analysts said it could mean China is more exposed than expected to a global slowdown driven by the US economy and Europe’s debt woes.
分析家说，这意味对美国经济和欧洲债务困难迫使全球经济衰退，中国比预期更受影响。

But Chinese authorities are not likely to ease monetary policy restrictions anytime soon. They insist the economy is sound.
但是，中国当局不可能很快放松财政政策的限制。他们坚持经济健全。

“Looking at the momentum of economic growth, in the next phase, the possibility of China’s macroeconomic situation maintaining stable and relatively fast development is relatively great.”
国家统计局发言人局盛来运说：
“综观经济成长动能，下一阶段，中国宏观经济情势的可能性，保持平稳且相对
快速发展，相当的好。”
