White House spokesman Tony Fratto says the third quarter gross domestic product figure was not unexpected, and that the current quarter is almost certain to prove even grimmer. 白宮發(fā)言人弗拉托說(shuō)，第三季度的國內生產(chǎn)總值數字并不出人意料，而且幾乎可以肯定，第四季度的經(jīng)濟數據會(huì )更糟。
Fratto said that until the beginning of the Chamber of Deputies shortly before the vote, Bush is still trying to convince the phone vote for the proposal. 弗拉托說(shuō)，直到眾議院開(kāi)始投票前不久，布什仍在通過(guò)電話(huà)試圖說(shuō)服議員投票支持這個(gè)方案。
