英式新闻英语第 35 课：Bank of Japan Lowers View of Economy 日本央行下调对经济的评估

The Bank of Japan has downgraded its assessment of Japan's faltering economy for a second month. 日本银行连续第二个月下调它对日本摇摇欲坠的经济所作的评估。

This will fuel a speculation that managing policy could be eased in the coming months after the BOJ ignored government calls to do so last week. 上周，日本银行没有理会政府有关放松金融政策的呼吁，这次的评估报告引起了关于日本央行将在未来的数月里放宽金融政策的猜测。

According to its monthly report, economic adjustments, which is considered a euphemism for slowdown, have intensified. 日本银行在它的月度报告里称经济活动的调整—经济放缓的一种委婉说法—已经有所加强。
