NEW YORK, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday downgraded Spain's credit rating by two notches from Aa2 to A1.
新华社纽约10月18日电——穆迪投资者服务公司周二将西班牙的信用评级下调两级，从Aa2降至A1。

Moody's put Spain's credit outlook at negative, warning more downgrade risks in the future, after Standard & Poor's took a similar move days ago.
在标准普尔数天前采取同样举措之后，穆迪对西班牙信贷前景的展望调为负面，并警告称将来会有更大的降级危机。

The ratings agency said in a statement that Spain's continuing vulnerability to market Stress and event risk, moderate economic growth prospects and difficulties in achieving fiscal targets were the three main drivers for the downgrade, expressing its disappointment of Spain's and the European Union's handling of sovereign debt crisis so far.
该评级机构在一份声明中表示，西班牙对市场压力和事件风险的抵御持续脆弱，经济增长前景缓慢以及实现财政目标困难是这次降级的三大主因，穆迪对西班牙和欧盟目前为止应对主权债务危机的举措表示失望。

"Since placing the ratings under review in late July 2011, no credible resolution of the current sovereign debt crisis has emerged and it will in any event take time for confidence in the area's political cohesion and growth prospects to be fully restored."
“自从2011年7月西班牙的等级列入观察以来，并没有任何解决当前主权债务危机的可靠措施出台，无论怎么样，要完全恢复这个地区的政治凝聚力和增长前景的信心还需要时间。”

"In the meantime, Spain's large sovereign borrowing needs as well as the high external indebtedness of the Spanish banking and corporate sectors render it vulnerable to further funding stress."
“同时，西班牙巨大的主权借款需要以及西班牙银行和公司部门的高外债使其经受不起未来的融资压力。”

Moody's now expects Spain's real GDP growth in 2012 to be 1 percent at best, compared with earlier expectations of 1.8 percent, saying the slow growth would "in turn make the achievement of the ambitious fiscal targets even more challenging for Spain."
和早前预计的1.8%相比，穆迪现在预计西班牙2012年实际的GDP增长至多为1%，并称这种缓慢的增长“反过来会对西班牙雄心勃勃的财政目标的取得带来更大的挑战。”

Moody's has also cut Italy and Belgium's credit ratings for the similar reason.
穆迪还以类似的原因下调意大利和比利时的信用等级。
