  • US Stores See Sluggish Sales; Existing Home Sales Rise

  •   Stores across the U.S. fear the financial crisis has many would-be shoppers staying home -- a worrisome sign for an economy dependent on consumer spending.
  • 美國各地商店擔心金融危機讓許多可能的顧客不想外出購物,這對取決於消費者支出的經濟體系是個令人擔憂的跡象。

  • 但是美國經濟活動有三分之二是受消費者支出驅動的,有些經濟學家說,許多商店可能在 11 月底到耶誕節期間面臨一個生意不佳的節日購物季節,許多零售商就靠這段時間生意興旺來贏得年度利潤的。
