【contraction】
今天又是一個熟悉的字，
我們都常常看到contract或是contractor ，
但是，contract當動詞的用法，大家是否熟悉呢？
當contract變成動詞的時候，首先重音先從前面移到第二個音節
再來，主要的意思有三個：
1. the fact of something becoming smaller, shorter, or less.
2. to get illness
3. to make a legal agreement with sb for them to work for you or provide you with a service
猜猜看下列例句是什麼用法吧！(Adapted from Oxford Dictionary )
1) The heart muscles contract to expel the blood.
2) He contracted AIDS/ a virus.
3) Several computer engineers have been contracted to the finance department.
重點回到本文例句：
The World Bank estimates a 5.2% contraction in global GDP in 2020, which will be the deepest recession the world has seen in decades.
