Sample Sentences
我们可以看到,在80年代全球的电脑用户只占总人口的百分之零点五左右。而自90年代起,这个数量发生了急剧的变化。而在这个位置,2000年的时候,我们可以看到电脑用户的所占比率在百分之四至百分之五,呈爆炸式的增长。和80年代相比,等于增加了十倍。
We can see here that in the 1980's the total number of computer users stood at about 0.5% of the world's population. From the 90's on, this number has changed dramatically. And from this point, the year 2000, we can see that the proportion of computer users has risen to between four and five percent, which is an explosive amount of growth. Compared to the 80's, the number has increased tenfold.
好,让我们再进一步把眼光放到中国,请看一下B图。目前电脑总拥有量在六千万台左右,这条增长线的斜率告诉我们,在那么短的时间里增长量是如此之大。当然,和中国的总人口数比起来,六千万只是沧海一粟。但别忘了,这也许就是中国个人电脑市场为什么如此火爆的原因。
OK, let's now move one step forward and set our sights on China. Please take a look at diagram B. There are approximately 60 million computers in use in China currently. The slope of this line of growth tells us just how quickly this number has grown in such a short amount of time. Of course, compared to China's total population, 60 million is merely a drop in the ocean. But don't forget that this is probably why the market for personal computers in China is so hot right now.
