1. Sluggish flowing the great river with sorrow and silence.

 

　　缓慢流动着悲伤与寂静的巨大河流。

 

　　2. The sluggish economy and high unemployment also seem to have increased competition and temptation in the workplace.

 

　　此外，不景气的经济状况和高失业率似乎也加剧了工作场所的竞争和诱惑。

 

　　3. That projection is below the 21% increase seen in the prior year, but industry officials attribute it to the maturing of the business, not the sluggish economy.

 

　　这个增长比前一年所经历的21%的增长要低，但是工业官员把这个归结于商业的成熟，而不是经济的低迷。
