"green shoots," "yellow weeds," & "brown manure"2009/07/08

新緑の芽(green shoots)かもと思ったら大半は雑草(yellow weeds)で新緑の芽は打ち消され、そのうち、雑草は肥やし(brown manure)になるかもしれない、とのDr. Doomと呼ばれるNouriel Roubiniさんの訳の分からない分析。英語としては面白いけど、こういう風に言えば、何だって言えちゃうような気がするだが。

Recent data suggest that the rate of contraction in the world economy may be slowing. But hopes that “green shoots” of recovery may be springing up have been dashed by plenty of yellow weeds.

So, green shoots of stabilization may be replaced by yellow weeds of stagnation if several medium-term factors constrain the global economy’s ability to return to sustained growth. Unless these structural weaknesses are resolved, the global economy may grow in 2010-2011, but at an anemic rate.

The June employment report suggests that the alleged ‘green shoots’ are mostly yellow weeds that may eventually turn into brown manure.

Indeed the excessive optimism about spring green shoots have shown them to be mostly summer yellow weeds that may actually turn into brown manure by late 2010 after a minor economic recovery in the first half of 2010.
