[To learn English] The euro zone economy grew quicker than expected last quarter as consumption and investments kicked into higher gear, offsetting low exports and the exceptional uncertainty emanating from U.S. trade policy, Eurostat data showed on Friday. The figures signal remarkable resilience for a bloc of 350 million people that was expected to succumb to a trade war with the U.S., surging export competition from China and years of military conflict on its eastern border. 欧盟统计局周五公布的数据显示，欧元区经济上季度增速超出预期，消费和投资加速增长，抵消了出口疲软和美国贸易政策带来的极度不确定性。 这些数据表明，这个拥有3.5亿人口的集团展现出了惊人的韧性。此前，人们普遍认为欧元区会因与美国的贸易战、来自中国的出口竞争加剧以及东部边境多年的军事冲突而遭受重创。 LearnEnglishLeave a remark
