旅游英語口語（高級）— 出國旅游：Unit10.3.Talking about the Economy

I hope so,..

...but you know you can't believe everything that you read.

I suppose. Still, it's always good to read something encouraging.

That's true.

I think the stock market hasn't been doing all that well of late.

No, it hasn't.

Both the NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange have been in the doldrums for a while now.

I think that the government hasn't done a very good job of managing the economy, either.

Well, it's all interconnected.

The economy as a whole could definitely use a shot in the arm.

There's an old saying,...

..."What goes up must come down, and vice versa."

So "what goes down" must also come up, then?

Exactly. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Besides, when stocks are low, it's the best time to buy, right?

Maybe, but I'm going to hold on to my money for a while yet.
