China’s slowdown is rattling Asian economies

Governments are rushing to limit the damage

Don’t cry over spilled milk.  —Don’t rush me. —rush hour 上下班高峰期 

Spillover 溢出效应

e.g.The economic growth in the city had a positive spillover effect on the surrounding regions. 该城市的经济增长对周边地区产生了积极的溢出效应。

e.g.The environmental pollution from the factoryhad a negative spillover effect onthe health of nearby residents. 工厂的环境污染对附近居民的健康产生了负面的溢出效应。 

Bali, a holiday destination in Indonesia, and Busan, a port in South Korea, are not easily confused. The former produces little industrial machinery; the latter falls short on year-round tropical weather. But the two have something in common. They are among the regions of Asia now imperilled by the less-than-impressive reopening of China’s economy, and the prospect of a prolonged slowdown.

三、段落翻译

巴厘岛是印度尼西亚的度假胜地，釜山是韩国的一个港口，这两个地方并不容易混淆。前者基本不生产什么工业机械；后者也没有一年到头的热带天气。但它们有某种共同点。由于中国经济的重新开放不像预期那样引人瞩目，而且面临长期增长放缓，亚洲一些区域眼下受到拖累，这两个地方都在其中。
