【英音模仿秀】红热降温 经济退步

模仿文本：This year, India's formerly¹ red-hot economy has lost some steam. Since this summer, the Indian economy has been growing at less than half the speed it's achieved on average in recent years. Its troubles were highlighted earlier this year by the worst power cuts in modern history and by a steady string of corruption² scandals - the latest involving the allocation of licences for mining coal. 

 

 

译文： 印度一度高涨的经济发展在今年有些疲软。入夏以来，印度经济的增长速度不及近年来平均数的一半。今年早些时候，其经济问题主要表现为近代以来最严重的停电事故以及一系列腐败丑闻，最近一出涉及煤矿开发许可证的分配。
