1-Touch upon the terms you have used. Could another term be used?

Where there any

alternatives? If yes, why did you choose that one? Use examples?

Yes, we have other alternatives, and I have explained this with my examples.

But consumer spending, which accounts for about two-thirds of the economy, held up fairly well for
the quarter, rising 2.7% as inflation kept pressure on prices. However, a burgeoning trade deficit
helped shave 3.2 percentage points off growth as imports outweighed exports.

3.2 percentage:

There were too many percent parts. it was so difficult for me . I had some difficulty in combining
sentences due to numbers and got help from the dictionary.

2-Was the text hard to translate? Why / Why not? Provide examples

The speaker used quotation sentences in the text. He supports the text with other people's
sentences.

. “It reminds us of the reality that growth has been great, but things are changing and they won’t be
that great going forward.”

“This is noise; not signal. The economy is not falling into recession,”

There were too many economic terms and information. This caused me to look at a lot of dictionary.
Also idioms were used. I usually skipped some idioms and used their close meanings in my
translation.
3- Where there any parts you have omitted?

Yes, there were parts that I skipped sometimes. I used the known general meanings of some
economic words instead of or in place of idioms in my translation.

“This is noise; not signal. The economy is not falling into recession,”

Sustaining that growth into 2022 will require an easing in clogged supply chains and some resolution
in Ukraine, both of which will face pressures from higher interest rates from not just the Fed but also
global central banks that are engaged in a similar struggle against inflation.

Clogged supply chaıns: ı took clogged word mean [ I used the meaning of obstructed in the sense of
clogged. [ ENGEL OLMAK]

State Street Global Advisors baş ekonomisti Simona Mocuta, “Geçmişe bakıldığında, bu çok
önemli bir rapor olarak görülebilir” dedi. “Bu bize büyümenin harika olduğu gerçeğini hatırlatıyor,

 I used domestıcatıon method but there were no cultural values ın source text. I just trıed to
reflect my own language somewhere.

5- Sometimes, it is useful to paraphrase your understanding of a concept if translation

does not seem natural? Have used paraphrasing strategy?
I used paraphrase strategy because I focused mainly on numerical data, general quotations,
colloquialism, and economic terms.
