WBR: Eurozone Economy Flatlines

Thu, 14 Aug 14

The eurozone economy is flatlining, with growth between April and June this year non-existent. The two biggest economies France and Germany are doing worse than expected. We hear from the sales director of a Paris based furniture design company. Also in the programme economist¹ Roger Bootle tells us why he thinks vulture funds are a necessary part of the financial world. Plus German car manufacturer Daimler gives workers the option of having all their e-mails auto-delete when they're on holiday - but is that such a good idea?

1 economist   

n.经济学家，经济专家，节俭的人

参考例句：

• He cast a professional economist's eyes on the problem.他以经济学行家的眼光审视这个问题。
• He's an economist who thinks he knows all the answers.他是个经济学家，自以为什么都懂。
