The US economy grew at an annualised rate of just 1.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2026, marking a slowdown from the previous period even as American consumers continued to splash out.
美国经济在2026年第二季度按年率计算仅增长1.5%，较上一季度放缓，尽管美国消费者继续大手笔消费。
Thursday’s figure from the Bureau of Economic Analysis was down from the 2.1 per cent growth rate in the first three months of the year and fell short of the 2 per cent figure forecast in a Bloomberg poll of economists.
美国经济分析局(BEA)周四公布的第二季度增长数据，低于今年前三个月的2.1%，也低于接受彭博(Bloomberg)访问的经济学家们此前预测的2%。
Growth was dragged down by lower government spending and slower growth in exports and business investment, the BEA said. But consumer spending rose sharply, suggesting the economy is in robust shape despite the fallout from President Donald Trump’s war with Iran.
美国经济分析局表示，政府支出减少，加上出口和企业投资增速放缓，拖累了经济增长。但消费者支出大幅增长，似乎表明尽管唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)总统对伊朗开战带来了冲击，美国经济状况依然稳健。
