Last week, the Congressional Budget Office predicted that GDP growth will plunge a jaw-dropping 40% in the second quarter from the same time last year; the CBO also predicts that growth will slow 11.8% from the first quarter, which would be the biggest loss since the Commerce Department began tracking GDP data in 1947.
上周，美国国会预算办公室(Congressional Budget Office)预测，美国第二季度GDP增速将较去年同期大幅下降40%，令人瞠目结舌;国会预算办公室还预测，经济增长将较第一季度放缓11.8%，这将是自美国商务部1947年开始跟踪GDP数据以来的最大损失。
