A reading below 50 indicates contraction. 研究机构IHS Markit数据显示，7月份英国采购经理人指数或PMI降至47.7，为2009年4月以来的最低水平。该指数降至50以下则意味着经济萎缩。 The report surveyed more than 650 services companies, from sectors including transport, business services, computing and restaurants. It asked them: "Is the level of business activity at your company higher, the same or lower than one month ago?" It also asked manufacturers whether production had gone up or down. 这份报告调查了650多家服务业公司，涉及到交通运输、商业服务、计算机和餐饮业。这些公司需回答“贵公司商业活动与一个月前相比较为活跃，保持不变，抑或有所减弱？”调查中还询问了制造商的生产水平是上升了还是下降了。 |
