翻译 重点第一段第一句话 第二段
The report failed to stir much passion on the part of industry observers, one way or another. Stuart Hoffman, chief economist with PNC Financial Services called it "not disappointing, considering the big run-up in prices for months before."
He expects continued weakness in home prices through the slow winter months followed by some gains in the spring when the current homebuyer tax credit is scheduled to expire. That should bring out a rush of house hunters looking to beat the deadline. Overall, Hoffman forecasts a flat 2010 -- not a bad thing after the steep drops of the past three years.

Answer 1

不管怎样,该报告都没有激起行业观察员的热心.PNC金融服务公司的首席经济学家斯图尔特·霍夫曼称它“并不令人失望,考虑到之前几个月价格的大幅上升.”
他预计住宅价格在冬季将继续走弱,之后的春天会有所上升,到时目前的税收减免将到期.这将使购房者为了赶上最后期限而蜂拥而至.总的来说,霍夫曼预计2010全年将持平——在过去三年大幅下跌后,这样就算不错了.
