1. There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a “disjunction” between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in productivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.

anecdote 軼聞，趣聞，傳聞

statistics 數(shù)據(jù)(還有一個我們不熟悉的意思：表格)

picture 情況，事態(tài)，局面，狀況，情形，形勢

有大量的商業(yè)佚事說生產(chǎn)力飛躍發(fā)展了，但是財長羅伯特.魯賓認為現(xiàn)實數(shù)據(jù)表明的情況并不能支持這些傳奇。

servicing trades服務業(yè)

precise準確的

【主干識別】a study will provide a precise picture.

【譯文賞析】 盡管我們有可能從實際生產(chǎn)的商品和服務中推斷出制造商和服務行業(yè)對于顧客需求的想法，但是只有對那些由實際的消費者所寫就的相關個人記錄進行研究才能精確地描述出到底是“誰”想要“什么”。

(但是只有對真正顧客所寫的相關個人記錄的研究才能對什么人需要什么東西提供一個精確的描述。)
