Why the Economic Recovery Will Be More of a ‘Swoosh’ Than V-Shaped
未來經濟復甦呈現「Nike型」機率為何大於V型？
🆙Some policy makers predict a large drop followed by a painfully slow recovery, similar in shape to the Nike logo
一些決策者預測，經濟在大幅下降後將出現痛苦的緩慢復甦，形狀類似於Nike標誌。
✅Until recently, many policy makers and corporate executives were hoping for a V-shaped economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic: a short, sharp collapse followed by a bounce back to pre-virus levels of activity.
直到最近，許多決策者和企業高層還期待，經濟會克服新冠疫情的影響而實現V型復甦，也就是經濟活動短暫急劇下滑後，迅速回升至疫情前的水平。
-corporate 公司的
-executive 執行的；經營管理的
-bounce 反彈；跳
🤸♂️Now, however, they expect a “swoosh” recovery.
不過，他們現在預計經濟將出現「Nike型」（swoosh）復甦。
🎢Named after the Nike logo, it predicts a large drop followed by a painfully slow recovery, with many Western economies, including the U.S. and Europe, not back to 2019 levels of output until late next year—or beyond.
這種叫法以Nike的商標名命名，根據這種預測，經濟大幅下滑後，將經歷痛苦而緩慢的復甦，包括美國和歐洲在內的許多西方經濟體，要到明年稍晚甚至更久以後才能恢復到2019年的產出水準。
-name after 以...的名字來命名
*(被命名的要用被動式 e.g. Paul was named after his grandfather.)
📉The sobering new view reflects the depth of the contraction now being recorded for the spring, as well as more evidence that soaring joblessness and months or years of social distancing—particularly in the West—will depress economic activity well into next year.
這種令人警醒的新觀點反映了今年春季經濟萎縮的嚴重程度，同時有更多證據表明，隨著失業率不斷飆升，保持社交距離的措施又可能維持數月甚至數年（尤其是在西方），今年乃至明年大部分時間，經濟活動都可能受到抑制。
-sobering 使警醒、冷靜的；重大、嚴重的
-soar 猛增，驟升

經濟復甦還要多久?
