Germany's factories made more things in April.

德國的工廠在四月份增加了產量。

Production went up by 0.4%. This is good news because production went down for five months before April.

產量上升了0.4%。這是好消息，因為在四月之前，產量已連續五個月下降。

Some areas grew. Construction and chemicals made more things. People also bought more everyday goods.

部分領域有所成長。建築與化學工業增加了產量。人們也購買了更多日常用品。

Some areas did not grow. Car factories made fewer cars. They went down by 4.7%.

部分領域則沒有成長。汽車工廠減少了產量，下降了4.7%。

Overall, the year is still difficult. Production is lower than it was last year.

總體而言，今年依然十分困難。產量仍低於去年。

Factories grew a little in April, but the year is still slow.

四月工廠產量雖略有成長，但今年整體進度依然緩慢。

New data from the Federal Statistical Office shows that Germany's industrial production saw a small recovery during April.

聯邦統計局的新數據顯示，德國的工業生產在四月份輕微回升。

The industrial sector grew by 0.4% this month, ending a five-month period of decline. This trend matches previous forecasts and follows a small drop of 0.1% in March. When looking closer at different categories, there were mixed results: production of consumer goods and intermediate goods rose by 1.9% and 1.4%, whereas the production of capital goods fell by 1.5%.

工業部門本月增長 0.4%，結束了連續五個月下跌的局面。這一趨勢與之前的預測一致，且是在三月份輕微下跌 0.1% 之後出現的。若詳細分析不同類別，結果不一：消費品與中間產品的生產分別上升 1.9% 與 1.4%，而資本貨品的生產則下跌 1.5%。

Different industries showed varying levels of growth. For instance, the construction industry increased by 2.4%, while the chemical and metal sectors grew by 2.1% and 1.6%. In contrast, the automotive sector dropped by 4.7%. Energy-intensive industries grew by 1%, and general energy production rose by 0.2%. Despite these monthly gains, the yearly trend is still negative, with production down 0.5% compared to last year. However, this is an improvement from the 3.4% drop seen the previous month. Furthermore, if energy and construction are removed from the data, monthly output remained flat and the annual decline was 2.1%.

不同產業的增長程度各異。例如，建築業增加 2.4%，而化工與金屬部門則增長 2.1% 與 1.6%。相反地，汽車部門下跌 4.7%。能源密集型產業增長 1%，一般能源生產上升 0.2%。儘管本月有所增長，但年度趨勢仍為負值，生產量較去年下跌 0.5%。然而，這比上個月 3.4% 的跌幅有所改善。此外，若將能源與建築業從數據中剔除，月度產量維持持平，年度跌幅為 2.1%。

In summary, German industrial production grew slightly in April, although the overall yearly figures continue to decline.

總結來說，德國工業生產在四月份輕微增長，但整體年度數據持續下跌。

Data released by the Federal Statistical Office indicates a modest recovery in Germany's industrial output during April.

聯邦統計局公布的數據顯示，德國四月份的工業產量有輕微回升。

The industrial sector experienced a monthly expansion of 0.4%, terminating a five-month period of contraction. This trajectory aligns with prior projections and follows a revised decline of 0.1% in March. A granular examination of production categories reveals a divergence in performance: consumer goods and intermediate goods increased by 1.9% and 1.4% respectively, whereas capital goods production diminished by 1.5%.

工業部門單月增長 0.4%，結束了連續五個月的萎縮。這一趨勢與之前的預測一致，且三月份的數據經修訂後為下跌 0.1%。詳細分析各生產類別可發現表現分歧：消費品與中間產品分別增加 1.9% 與 1.4%，而資本財生產則減少 1.5%。

Sectoral contributions were heterogeneous. The construction industry demonstrated a notable increase of 2.4%, while the chemical and fabricated metal sectors grew by 2.1% and 1.6%. Conversely, the automotive sector underwent a contraction of 4.7%. Energy-intensive industrial branches recorded a 1% increase, and energy production outside the industrial sphere rose by 0.2%. Despite these monthly gains, the annual trajectory remains negative, with industrial production declining by 0.5% year-on-year, although this represents a moderation from the 3.4% decrease observed in the preceding month. Furthermore, the exclusion of energy and construction results in a stagnant monthly output and a 2.1% annual decline.

各行業的貢獻不一。建築業顯著增長 2.4%，化學與金屬製品業則增長 2.1% 與 1.6%。相反地，汽車業萎縮了 4.7%。高耗能工業部門記錄到 1% 的增長，而工業以外的能源生產則上升 0.2%。儘管單月有所增長，但年度趨勢依然為負，工業生產同比下跌 0.5%，不過較前一個月下跌 3.4% 已有所緩和。此外，若扣除能源與建築業，單月產量維持平盤，年度則下跌 2.1%。

German industrial production showed a slight monthly increase in April despite continued annual declines.

儘管年度數據持續下跌，但德國四月份的工業生產單月有輕微增長。
