中文原文
人們很容易對(duì)全球貿(mào)易的狀況感到悲觀。近幾年，全球貿(mào)易面臨巨大阻力：2016 年，其增長(zhǎng) 15 年來(lái)首次落后于世界經(jīng)濟(jì)增速。地區(qū)及全球貿(mào)易協(xié)定正逐漸停滯不前。
自己的譯文
There is a tendency for people to make gloomy forecasts about global trade. In recent years, global trade has faced huge resistance: in 2016, it’s growth lagged behind that of the world economy for the first time in 15 years. Regional and global trade agreements are also bogged down.
經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人原文
It is easy to be downcast about the state of global trade. It has faced stiff headwinds in recent years: in 2016, for the first time in 15 years, it grew more slowly than the world economy. Regional and global trade deals are going nowhere, slowly.

原文中驚艷到自己的地方
三個(gè)表達(dá)(downcast, has faced stiff headwinds, are going nowhere)的精妙, 這三個(gè)表達(dá)都是和方向有關(guān)的——因?yàn)間lobal trade has faced stiff headwinds，并且Regional and global trade deals 都在going nowhere，所以人們只得look down。真的很形象生動(dòng)。
今天打卡的時(shí)候看到有一個(gè)小伙伴說(shuō)自己有一個(gè)宏大的目標(biāo)，就是希望能寫出像經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人一樣的文章來(lái)。有時(shí)讀經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人的文章，自己也難免會(huì)有這種想法，一步一步慢慢來(lái)吧，先從欣賞開(kāi)始，哈哈~
自己用這個(gè)表達(dá)造的句子
It is easy to be downcast about the art cinema in China. It has faced stiff headwinds in rencent years: in 2016, the showtime for arthouse films reached a record low, and the fundraising for promotion is also going nowhere.?
