Berlin, May 3 (Reuters) - German Manufacturers Deepened a Decline in Their Order Books in March, but Economists Pointed to a High Comparative Base of the Previous Year's Period and Hinted at Potential Signs of Easing, the Vdma Association Reported on Friday.
柏林，5月3日（路透社）— Vdma协会周五报告称，德国制造商的订单量在3月份进一步下降，但经济学家指出，去年同期的比较基础很高，并暗示了潜在的宽松迹象。
Orders Fell by 17% in Real Terms Year-on-Year in March, but March Last Year Saw the Biggest Number of Orders of the Entire Year.
3月份的订单按实际价值计算同比下降了17％，但去年3月的订单量是全年最多的。
"It Therefore Comes as No Surprise That the Decline in Orders Was Greater in This Month Than in the First Two Months of This Year," Vdma's Economic Expert Olaf Wortmann Said.
Vdma的经济专家奥拉夫·沃特曼说：“因此，本月的订单下降幅度大于今年前两个月也就不足为奇了。”
Furthermore, Such a Sharp Decline Might Be a Sign of the Downward Trend Bottoming Out, Wortmann Added.
此外，沃特曼补充说，如此急剧的下跌可能表明下降趋势已触底。
"IF You Look at the Monthly Figures Along the Curve, They Confirm Our Assessment That Foreign Orders Have Bottomed Out," He Said.
他说：“如果你看一下曲线上的月度数据，它们证实了我们的评估，即外国订单已经触底。”
Foreign Orders Fell 15% Year-on-Year, While the German Ones Posted a 23% Slump in March.
外国订单同比下降15％，而德国订单在3月份下降了23％。
In the Less Volatile Three-Month Period From January to March, Orders Fell by 13%.
在1月至3月波动较小的三个月期间，订单下降了13％。
However, It Is Still Too Early to See Some Substantial Signs of Relief, as Global Conflicts and Rising Protectionism Continue to Weigh Heavily on the World's Economy Thus Hindering Investments, Wortmann Said.
但是，沃特曼说，现在看到一些实质性的缓解迹象还为时过早，因为全球冲突和保护主义抬头继续严重压制世界经济，从而阻碍投资。
