  今年第一季度,加拿大经济还增长了2.5%。第二季度GDP缩水幅度要比分析师预测的大,但是却也比1.5%的预估值多不了多少。
  "The figure could have been worse, given the hit from the wildfire, and clearly confirms the disappointing downward trend in exports over the last few months," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist 2 at BMO Capital Markets.
  BMO资本市场高级经济学家赛尔·盖特瑞表示:“于森林火灾的打击,情况本来可能会更糟,而第二季度的GDP数据显然证实了,在过去的几个月里出口下降的趋势令人失望。”
  森林火灾或为加拿大经济下滑的罪魁祸首
  In May, wildfires devastated 3 the parts of northern Alberta where much of Canada's oil and natural gas is produced.
  今年5月,森林大火摧毁了阿尔伯塔省北部的部分地区,其为加拿大的石油和天然气生产基地。

  Economic growth is expected to pick up in the later half of the year as oil production gets back on track. But the decline in global oil prices will continue to weigh on the country's growth.

  不仅是能源出口在春季下降,制造业出口也打击经济。不过,加拿大制造业预计将在2016年下半年有所恢复。
  Economic figures for June, however, appear to signal that the downward trend may be over.
  然而,6月份经济数据似乎表明下降的趋势可能提前结束。
  "I think the Bank of Canada is still confident that exports will turn up and lead the economic expansion in the second half of the year," said Mr Guatieri.
  盖特瑞先生表示:“我认为加拿大央行仍然相信出口将上升,并且会领涨今年下半年的经济。”
  The government is also hoping that negotiations 5 with the European Union over a free trade deal will help increase exports.
