10月份中国制造业、非制造业PMI双双回落

Growth in the key sectors driving China’s economy softened last month, according to official gauges tracking activity at manufacturing, services and construction businesses.

追踪制造业、服务业和建筑业商务活动的官方指标显示，10月份这几个驱动中国经济的关键行业的增长有所放缓。

The manufacturing purchasing managers’ index published by China’s National Bureau of Statistics slipped to 51.6 in October, coming in below a median forecast of 52 from economists surveyed by Reuters and closer to the 50-point line delineating expansion from contraction.

中国国家统计局发布的10月份制造业采购经理指数(PMI)降至51.6，比路透(Reuters)调查的经济学家给出的预测中值52要低，离荣枯分界线50更近。

The reading represented a fall of 0.4 points from September and a sub-index on output for the gauge, which primarily tracks larger and state-owned enterprises, fell 1.3 points to 53.4. That for new orders dipped 1.9 points to 52.9.

10月份的读数较9月份回落0.8个百分点，其中主要追踪大型国有企业的生产指数回落1.3个百分点，降至53.4。新订单指数回落1.9个百分点，降至52.9。

A sub-index tracking activity at larger enterprises softened 0.7 points to 53.1, while mid-sized companies fell 1.3 points to 49.9, indicating slight contraction. That for smaller manufacturers fell 0.4 points to 49, indicating worsening contraction.

大型企业PMI为53.1，比上月下降0.7个百分点;中型企业PMI为49.8，回落1.3个百分点，意味着进入轻度收缩。小型企业PMI为49，下降0.4个百分点，意味着收缩加剧。

The official non-manufacturing PMI came in at 54.3 in October, down from a recent peak of 55.4 a month prior. A key sub-index for the services sector likewise fell 0.9 points from its September peak to 53.5. Even the construction industry appeared worse off, with a sub-index for the sector dropping 2.6 points to 58.5.
