经典范文111
It is apparent from the diagram above that the total income of the tourist industry has reached 2,500 billion RMB by the year 2015，at a growth rate of 10％ per year．From the statistics given in the table，we can see that the value added in tourism has accounted for 4.5％ of national GDP and 12％ of the value added in the service business.
Different countries are striving to develop their national tourism because tourism really has a lot of advantages．First and foremost，beautiful scenery，attractive tourist spots and splendid culture attract tourists from various parts of the world，which provides many opportunities to promote exchanges among people from diverse backgrounds．For instance，since the reform and opening-up era，China，a country which has rich tourist resources，has received millions of foreign tourists every year．Moreover，travel enriches one's knowledge，widens one's vision and enhances mutual understanding．Through travelling，we Chinese have expanded our scope of knowledge，and we have come to know the world better and have been learning how to develop our country better．Finally，tourism boosts local economies and promotes commercial exchanges.
In my opinion，it is crucial for a country to develop its tourism to upgrade its international position and at the same time promote global understanding to remove prejudice and bias．We should make good use of our rich tourist resources to make our motherland more beautiful.
参考译文
由上述图表不难得知，2015年旅游业总收入已达到2.5万亿元，年均增长率10％。从图表中给出的数据我们可以看出，旅游业增加值占全国 GDP的比重为4.5％，占服务业增加值的比重为12％。
由于旅游业确实有很多优点，各个国家都在努力发展本国旅游业。首先，美景、迷人的景点以及辉煌的文化吸引了世界各地的游客，为促进不同文化背景之间人们的相互交流提供了大量的机会。例如，改革开放以来，中国作为一个拥有丰富旅游资源的国家每年都吸引数以百万计的外国游客。此外，旅游可以丰富人们的知识，开阔人们的视野并且增进相互间的理解。通过旅游，我们中国人扩大了我们的认知范围，我们更多地了解了世界，并一直在学习如何更好地发展我们的国家。最后，旅游业发展了地方经济并促进了商业交流。
在我看来，一个国家很有必要通过发展旅游业来提升国际地位，同时促进国际理解以消除偏见。我们应该充分利用我们丰富的旅游资源来使我们的祖国变得更加美好。

中国每千户家庭拥有汽车数量
 
经典范文112
The figures in the above column chart display the stable increase of private cars from 1980 to 2010．As is shown in the chart，there were five private cars for every thousand families in 1980．During the next thirty years，the number rose steadily．It went up to 40 in 2000，and in 2010，there were 70 private cars in every thousand families.
There are a good many factors for the increase．The main reasons are as follows．To begin with，with the speedy development of the economy and the increase in people's income，a large number of families could now afford a car．In addition，a great many Chinese cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are being extended with highways and many people's houses are far away from their work places．For these people，owning a private car can save them time and bring a lot of conveniences．Finally，with the development of highways，transportation is greatly improved，which means better conditions for drivers，encouraging a lot of people to buy a car of their own.
From the discussion above，we can conclude that families in mounting numbers will own private cars，and private cars will become a common household transportation tool，just like the bicycle today.
参考译文
上述柱状图中的数字显示了从1980年到2010年私家车的稳步增长情况。如图所示，在1980年，每一千个家庭拥有5辆私家车。在接下来的30年中，这个数字一直在平稳增长，2000年达到40辆，而到2010年每千户家庭拥有70辆私家车。
私家车的增长是由很多因素造成的，主要原因如下：首先，随着经济的迅猛发展和人们收入的增加，很多家庭有能力购买私家车。其次，中国有很多像北京、上海这样的城市因高速公路的建成而大大扩展，很多人的住所离工作地点很远，对于他们来说拥有私家车既可以节省时间，还能带来诸多方便。最后，随着高速公路的发展，交通状况大为改善，这意味着司机们拥有了更好的行车条件，也鼓励着更多人购买属于自己的车。
从上面的讨论中，我们可以得出如下结论：越来越多的家庭将拥有私家车，而私家车将成为一种普通的家庭交通工具，就像今天的自行车一样。

全球电子商务成交额统计
 
经典范文113
As can be seen from the above bar chart，the volume of global electronic commerce transactions has increased markedly during the past 15 years．In 1997，it was almost 2 billion dollars，while the number reached 90 billion in 2005．By 2011，the number jumped dramatically to 300billion dollars，150 times more than that of 1997.
Why is electronic commerce booming nowadays？Several causes contribute to this phenomenon．Above all，the availability of computers is foremost contributor．The rapid development of information technology has enabled nearly everybody to have access to computers and the Internet．Nowadays，common people are no longer a stranger to the Internet．What is more，Internet technology is becoming increasingly mature．People who at first do not trust business transactions online have now become convinced that electronic commerce is extremely convenient and efficient．Last but not least，electronic commerce is the fastest way so far to make transactions across long distances．It makes it possible to do business at home and it saves time and unnecessary formalities as well．That is why it is preferable to traditional commerce.
Booming electronic commerce undoubtedly contributes to the prosperity of the world economy．It has also given birth to SOHO，a special group of people working at home．The trend towards a promising e-commerce future is inevitable．Accordingly，let's get prepared to embrace this irreversible tendency.
参考译文
由以上柱状图可以看出，在过去十五年中，全球电子商务年成交额显著增长。1997年，全球电子商务成交额约为20亿美元，而2005年这一数据增长到900亿美元。2011年这一数字飞涨到3000亿美元，是1997年的150倍。
为什么当今的电子商务发展如此之快呢？这一现象产生的原因有以下几个：首先，电脑的普及是最主要的原因，信息技术的迅猛发展几乎使每个人都用上了电脑和互联网。现在，对普通人来说，互联网已不再陌生。其次，互联网技术正日趋成熟。起初对网上商业交易不信任的人，现在已开始相信电子商务既方便又高效。最后但同样重要的是，电子商务是目前远距离交易最快的方式。电子商务使在家做生意成为可能，还节省了时间和不必要的手续。这就是与传统交易方式相比，电子商务更受青睐的原因。
快速发展的电子商务无疑有助于世界经济的繁荣，而且它催生了在家上班族（SOHO）。电子商务大有前途。因此，让我们准备好迎接这一不可逆转的趋势吧。

2010-2016中国艺术团体赴美演出及国内上映的美国电影数量
经典范文114
It is apparent from the line graph that the number of Chinese art groups performing in the U.S．and American movies shown in China both increased between 2010 and 2016．During the six years，the amount of Chinese art groups performing in the United States jumped from 100to 460，whereas the number of American films shown in our country has been on a steady rise from 50 to about 180，a rise of about 130.
Firstly，the fact that people from different countries are attracted to the mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted，respected，appreciated and shared internationally．Secondly，a nation's unique culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges．Since the trend of globalization has become irresistible，increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.
It is my view that national culture should be preserved and cherished as a priceless spiritual treasure．Meanwhile，there are good reasons to advocate for internationalized culture for those ideas from the other cultures，controversial or even absurd at first sight，can in the long run provide a different perspective for us to observe the world．Nevertheless，when we are confronted with a different culture，we should be sensible enough to absorb its virtues and to resist its dark side．Only in this way can we promote national cultural development positively and make our world multidimensional，colorful and vigorous.
参考译文
在线状图中显而易见的是，中国艺术团体赴美演出的次数和国内上映的美国电影数量从2010年至2016年均在增长。在这六年中，中国艺术团体赴美演出的场次从100场猛增到460场，而国内上映的美国电影数量从50部稳步增长到约180部，增长了约130部。
首先，神秘的中国文化吸引了各国人民这一事实表明，在某种程度上一种文化可以在国际范围内被接受、尊重、欣赏和分享。其次，一个民族独特的文化可以通过全球性的经济和文化交流走向世界。由于全球化潮流不可阻挡，所以日益频繁的文化交流可以有效增进相互间的理解和友谊。
在我看来，我们应该保护和珍惜作为无价精神财富的民族文化。同时，我们有充足的理由提倡世界文化，因为来自其他文化的那些观点，即使乍看起来有争议甚至很荒谬，但从长远看来却可以为我们观察这个世界提供一种不同的视角。尽管如此，在面对不同文化时，我们应该充满理智地取其精华、去其糟粕。只有这样我们才能积极发展民族文化，并使我们的世界丰富多元、多姿多彩、充满活力。

2013年世界各国人均阅读量统计图
经典范文115
The column chart above reveals clearly the statistics of reading quantity per person in seven countries in 2013．Based upon the data，the reading volumes in the U.S.，Israel and Russia are highest among the seven nations，accounting for 56，44 and 42 books per person respectively．On the contrary，those in Korea and China are lowest，taking up merely 11 and 4 books.
This tendency is rather disturbing，for reading extensively is no less necessary to one's mental life than fresh air is to one's physical life．From reading extensively，we can derive companionship，experience and instruction．First and foremost，a good book is our faithful friend．It can increase our contentment when we are cheerful and happy，and lessen our pain when we are sad or lonely．Furthermore，reading extensively can also offer us a wide range of experiences．Few of us can travel far from home or live long over one hundred，but all of us can live many different lives through the pages of books．Last but not least，reading extensively can increase our intellectual ability，broaden our minds and make us wise.
Though with the advent of TV，cellphone and the Internet，books are no longer read as extensively as they once were，nothing can replace the role that reading extensively plays in our lives．
参考译文
上述柱状图清晰地揭示了2013年七个国家人均阅读量的统计结果。根据这一统计数据，美国、以色列和俄罗斯的阅读量在七个国家中最高，分别为56本，44本和42本。相反，韩国和中国的阅读量最低，只有11本和4本。
这种倾向相当令人担忧，因为我们应该知道，多读书对人的精神生活而言，犹如新鲜空气对人的身体，同样是十分必需的。从读书中我们可以收获友谊，获得经验，受到教益。首要的是，一本好书就是我们忠实的朋友。当我们开心和快乐时，书能增加我们的满足感；当我们伤心或孤独时，书能减轻我们的痛苦。而且，读书还能为我们提供各种经历。我们中很少有人能到离家很远的地方去旅行，或者活过一百岁，但是通过读书我们都能经历很多种不同的生活。最后但同样重要的是，读书能增加我们的知识技能，开阔我们的眼界，使我们变得有智慧。
虽然随着电视、手机和网络的出现，读书的人没有以前多了，但没有什么东西可以取代读书在我们生活中的作用。

1998-2004年全国工程硕士招生录取人数
注：工程硕士：Master of Engineering
经典范文116
The diagram above clearly illustrates that a dramatic increase has occurred in the recruitment of Masters of Engineering（ME）in China during the past seven years．According to the statistics given above，we may conclude that the recruitment of MEs was on a steady rise from 1998 to 2004．In 1998，the number was at a low of only about 2,500．Surprisingly，it reached more than 35,000in 2004，within no more than seven years.
Some driving factors that contribute to the above-mentioned change may be summarized as follows．First and foremost，China has become particularly active in manufacturing，which has led to an increased demand for qualified engineers．In addition，the development of the job market on the whole cannot keep pace with the expansion of college graduates，which has obliged a large number of students to stay on campus for another three years to get better prepared for their careers．Last but not least，working pressure is another reason．Taking all these factors into account，we may predict that with the speedy development of our society，the recruitment of MEs will keep growing in the forthcoming decade.
On the other side of the coin，however，this tendency may bring about a good many problems，such as the waste of talent．It is necessary for us to take effective measures to ensure this situation doesn't get out of hand，and encourage students to choose majors for which both theoretical knowledge and practical skills will be demanded in the job market.
参考译文
上述图表清楚地揭示了过去七年中国的工程硕士招生录取人数急剧增长。根据上面给出的数据，我们可以得出结论：从1998到2004年，工程硕士招生录取人数稳步增长。1998年，招生人数较少，只有大约2500人。令人惊讶的是，到2004年招生人数在不到七年的时间里达到3.5万人以上。
促成上述变化的一些主要原因可以概括如下。首先，中国在制造业方面变得异常活跃，这使得对高素质工程师的需求增长。此外，就业市场的总体发展无法跟上大学毕业生人数的增加，这促使很多学生在校园里再待三年时间，为就业做更好的准备。最后，工作压力是另外一个原因。考虑到所有这些因素，我们可以预计，随着社会的迅速发展，工程硕士的招生人数在未来十年将会继续增加。
然而，问题的另一方面，这种趋势可能带来很多问题，例如人才的浪费。我们必须采取有效措施确保这一状况不会失控，同时鼓励学生选择那些就业市场上需要的既有理论知识又有实践技能的专业。

2005-2015中国出国留学人数及增速
经典范文117
The chart above clearly reflects the amount of people studying abroad and the growth rate between 2005 and 2015 in China．According to the survey，the number of people studying overseas has been on a steady rise from 118,000 to 523,000．However，its growth rate fluctuated dramatically between approximately 5％ and nearly 30％.
Several major factors contribute to the aforementioned changes．On the one hand，for the majority of people，living and studying in a foreign country provides an excellent opportunity to expand their knowledge．In order to become truly proficient in a foreign language，it is vital to learn its culture—including social interaction，customs and conventions，and so on．On the other hand，overseas studies also provide us with a valuable chance to learn how to be more open-minded and independent．It takes a person with strong willpower and an independent spirit to live alone and fully adapt to the culture of a foreign land.
To sum up，by studying abroad，people are able to augment their linguistic knowledge and deepen their cultural understanding，to the benefit of their future careers．In the meanwhile，those equipped with the qualities of open-mindedness and independence will be able to contribute more effectively to，and be more competitive in，the modern-day workplace.
参考译文
上述图表清晰地反映了从2005年到2015年中国出国留学人数及其增长率的数据。根据调查，出国留学人数从11.8万稳步增长到了52.3万。然而，其增长率在大约5％至将近30％之间急剧波动。
几个主要的因素造成了上述变化。一方面，对大多数人来说，能在外国生活和学习，将会给他们提供一个扩大知识面的绝佳机会。要想真正精通一门外语，了解这个国家的文化极其重要，包括其社会交往、风俗习惯等等。另一方面，海外留学也会给人们提供一次宝贵的机会，来学习如何让自己心胸更加开阔，个性更加独立。这需要一个人凭借顽强的毅力和独立的精神独自生活并且充分适应异国文化。
总之，在国外留学，人们可以充实自己的语言知识，加深对文化的理解，从而对以后的职业生涯大有裨益。同时，那些心胸开阔、个性独立的人能更有效、更有竞争力地参与到当今的工作中来。

某高校学生创业原因调查
经典范文118
Increasingly，it has become common for university students to take on part-time jobs or even start their own businesses prior to graduation．From the information given in the pie chart，we can see a survey on the reasons for starting one's own business among college students at a certain university．Those whose goal is to become entrepreneurs account for 44％ of the total，the biggest among all the five categories，while those who could not find suitable jobs account for 15％.
As long as students are cautious，real-world entrepreneurial experience can greatly benefit their future careers．Above all，students who launch their own business can gain valuable insight into their future career paths．Some students may even choose to switch majors as a result of insight gained from work experience or entrepreneurial activities．In addition，regardless of whether a student succeeds or fails in a business venture，the mere fact of having work experience will come in handy when seeking a full-time job after graduation．Employers will regard students with such experience as more ambitious，hard-working and mature than graduates who lack it．However，despite the benefits to students of “getting their feet wet” in the business world，it is crucial that they maintain academic studies as a top priority．
Ultimately，every student must decide how best to allocate his or her time outside of class．Indeed，many college-goers are wary of venturing into the real world until absolutely necessary．However，for those with a manageable schedule，exploratory mind and entrepreneurial spirit，work experience prior to graduation can offer important career benefits—not to mention a paycheck.
