  (Reuters) - U.S. stocks closed down on Friday after a volatile session as investors worried at the end of a rough month for the market about weak U.S. growth data and whether instability in Europe could hurt corporate earnings in the United States.

  U.S. economic growth slowed sharply in the fourth quarter as weak business spending and a wider trade deficit offset the fastest pace of consumer spending since 2006.

  This came after Greece's finance minister said the government would not cooperate with the European Union and International Monetary Fund mission.

  A brief afternoon rally from rising oil prices failed to stick as investors, nervous about U.S. and global economies, fled to bonds from equities and even sold off utilities stocks, the worst performing sector on the day.

  KEY WORDS:

  Close down 关闭

  volatile session 震荡交投 (指交易不稳)

  rough 艰苦的

  参考译文:

  本月一波三折,美方股市经济增长数据疲软,欧市不稳定性或可影响美市企业受益,上述现象使美投资者忧心忡忡。因此在经历震荡交投制后,美国股市于周五关闭。

  第四季度,美国经济涨速急剧减缓。这是由于自2006年以来,企业支出疲软以及贸易逆差扩大,从而抵消了增速最快的消费者支出。

  随后,希腊财政部长声称,其政府将不再同欧盟以及国际货币基金组织代表机构合作。

  午后就提升石油价格召开短暂集会,但此决议并未敲定。原因在于消费者对美国及世界经济感到担忧,他们抛弃债券转投股票,甚至还抛售了当天状态最差的公共事业股票。
