抵消、补偿

    中国经济放缓导致亚洲对全球经济的贡献小于预期，而强劲的美国经济则部分抵消了这一负面影响。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Emerging Asia will contribute less to the global economy in 2015 than it was expected just months ago as a slowdown in China drags on growth in the region, partially offset by acceleration in the United States, Reuters polls showed.

    Until recently the primary engine of global growth, most Asian economies have slowed, hamstrung by erratic exports, sluggish domestic demand, capital outflows and political and policy uncertainty.

    报道中的offset就是“补偿、抵消”。例如：

    The slowdown in domestic demand was offset by an increase in exports.

    出口增长补偿了国内需求放缓。
