介绍： Buckle up you all because we're taking a ride on a rollercoaster called the U.S. economy and where it's headed nobody knows. Here's the good news. The U.S. Commerce Department says between July and September, the economy grew a lot. The biggest measure of economic activity is the nation's growth domestic product, the total value of the goods and services the country produces, and the government says America's GDP grew by 7.4 percent in the summer months. That's a record. Never since the government started keeping track of the GDP in 1947 has the economy grown that much in a single quarter.
And that growth came at a faster rate than economists had predicted. A major factor in this was the lifting of the lockdowns. When businesses and retail stores were allowed to open their doors again after the mandatory closures of the Spring, that had the goal of slowing the spread of coronavirus. So, what's the bad news? Well virus cases in most states are on the rise. Economic analysts are concerned that could put a drag on the economy once again. When comparing the number of jobs in America, the Labor Department says there were 10.7 million fewer jobs in September than there were in February. And even though America's GDP grew by 7.4 percent in the summer, it had dropped by 9 percent in the Spring.

大家系好安全带，因为我们正在乘坐“美国经济”过山车，其去向无人知晓。先来说好消息。美国商务部表示，7月至9月，美国经济增长了很多。衡量经济活动的最重要指标是美国国内生产总值（简称GDP），即国家生产商品和服务的总价值，政府表示，美国夏季GDP增长了7.4%。这创下了新记录。自1947年政府开始记录国内生产总值以来，美国经济从未在一个季度内增长如此之快。
而且这一增长速度超出了经济学家的预期。其中一个主要因素是解除了封锁。这段时间，为减缓冠状病毒的传播而实施的春季强制停业解除，企业和零售店获准重新开业。那坏消息是什么？大多数州的病毒病例都在上升。经济分析人士担心这可能再次拖累经济。对美国就业人数进行对比后，美国劳工部表示，9月份美国就业人数比2月份减少了1070万。尽管美国国内生产总值在夏季增长了7.4%，但在春天却下降了9%。
