A report says that China's manufacturing activity shrank for a second month in January, further evidence of the gradual slowing in the world's second-biggest economy.
HSBC's preliminary purchasing managers' index ticked up to 49.8 in January from 49.6 in December.

汇丰公布中国1月制造业PMI为49.8%，高于去年12月的49.6%，这表明作为全球第二大经济体的中国经济增速将进一步放缓。

The index uses a 100-point scale on which a reading over 50 indicates expansion.
PMI（Purchasing Managers’ Index）指数中文为采购经理指数，PMI指数50为荣枯分水线，当PMI大于50时，说明经济在发展。

The report comes days after official data showed the economy expanded 7.4 percent last year, the slowest pace since 1990.

此前，中国曾公布一组数据，数据显示2014年中国经济增速为7.4%，创下1990年以来的新低。

The growth rate slipped from 7.7 percent the year before and signals increasing headwinds for the global economy.

从2013年的7.7%到2014年7.4%，中国经济增速进一步放缓意味着全球经济面临更大的挑战。

HSBC economists said the latest data suggest the "manufacturing slowdown is still ongoing amid weak domestic demand'' and that more easing measures will be needed in coming months.

汇丰银行经济学家称，从汇丰PMI指数可以知道，在国内市场需求疲软的情况下制造业依然继续放缓，未来几个月需要出台更多的量化宽松政策。
