8月份财新中国服务业PMI为52.7
一项针对中国服务行业的调查显示，8月份行业增速提高，民营企业正在赶上大型国营企业。
The Caixin-Markit services purchasing managers’ index came in at 52.7 in August, rebounding from July’s dip and rising further above the 50-point line separating growth from contraction.
8月份，财新中国服务业经营活动指数(Caixin-Markit services PMI)录得52.7，较7月份的下滑有所反弹，升至距离荣枯分界线50更高的位置。
The reading was the highest in three months, with new business at services companies growing at the quickest pace in as much time. Outlook for the coming 12 months improved marginally, with one in five companies surveyed expecting expansion over said period.
这是该指数3个月以来的最高水平，服务业企业新业务量的增速为3个月以来最快。对未来12个月的展望小幅改善，五分之一的受调查企业预期业务会有所扩张。
While input price growth edged back up from the weakest level in eight years in July, prices charged to clients fell into slight contraction for the first time since March 2016 as some companies cited growing competition.
尽管投入价格指数较7月份的8年低点有所回升，但收费价格指数自2016年3月以来首次下降至略微收缩，有些公司把原因归结为竞争加剧。
The improvement from Caixin’s gauge stands in contrast with a fall from its official counterpart published by the National Bureau of Statistics, but brings the headline reading of the former almost exactly in line with the latter.
财新PMI数据的改善，与国家统计局(NBS)公布的官方PMI下滑形成对比，但财新中国服务业PMI指数几乎与国家统计局公布的8月服务业商务指数相等。
Caixin’s PMIs focus more on smaller private companies than the NBS gauges, which track mainly large and state-owned firms. Taken together, the latest round of readings appear to point to improving conditions at companies across both sectors – with the exception of state-owned services companies.
财新PMI指数主要跟踪比国家统计局调查口径更小的民营企业，而国家统计局主要调查的是大型国有企业。两者结合起来看，最新数据表明制造业和服务业公司的状况都在改善——唯有国有服务企业例外。
Combined with a positive reading from the Caixin manufacturing PMI, the latest reading on China’s services sector brought a composite PMI to 52.4 in August, a six-month high.
加上位于荣枯分界线以上的财新中国制造业PMI，8月份财新中国综合PMI指数录得52.4，为6个月最高。
