Explanation:
you can argue about the translation (although I find some Google hits on the above) but you ought to accept the definition of a double dip:
when GDP growth slides back to negative after a quarter or two of brief positive growth. Theoretically this can happen during a recession or a recovery. See www.tdctrade.com/econforum/boc/boc020401.htm

agree  Heike Behl, Ph.D.: Begriff wird in dt.Glossaren nur erklärt und umschrieben (erneutes Abtauchen in eine zweite Rezession), nicht aber übersetzt. Genug Treffer für den englischen Ausdruck
