【英音模仿秀】冻云黯淡 晚来是秋

❤ 模仿文本：Now some say economic prediction is a bit like weather forecasting, even less likely to be correct. Well, if so, those looking for an outbreak of sunshine in the global economy have found it's actually, well, pretty overcast¹. The numbers of people with jobs in the United States rose in August but not as much as they'd been forecast. 169,000 people found work, according to the US. Analysts² had expected 180,000. At the same time the rates of unemployment fell marginally to 7.3% apparently³ because fewer people are actually looking for jobs. 

 

❤ 译文：当下有些人觉得经济预测的准度跟天气预报差不多，甚至连天气预报还不如。要真是这样的话，那些指望全球经济放晴的人们等到的就只能是阴天了。八月，美国就业人数的确有所上升，但涨幅并没有达到之前的预期。美国政府宣布有16万9千人找到了工作，而分析人士之前预测会有18万。与此同时，失业率有小幅下降到7.3%，不过这显然只是由于真正还在找工作的人数少了。
