This chart compares the amount of money spent on six consumer goods in Germany, Italy, France and Britain.
從圖上可以看到,英國人在所有六種消費品上的花費都比任何其他國家人們的支出高。在音響、網球拍和香水這三種物品上,意大利排名第二,之后是德國和法國。在音樂光盤、玩具和攝影方面的消費排序依次是:英、法、意、德。
As we can see from the chart, British people spend more money on all the six above-mentioned consumer goods than people from any other country do. So far as the expenditure on personal stereos, tennis racquets and perfumes is concerned, Italy ranks No. 2, followed by Germany and France. When it comes to CDs, toys, and photographic film, the ranking order of the four countries are: Britain, France, Italy, and Germany.
首先,英國人在音響、網球拍和香水上的花費分別達到了15.5萬、15.5萬和17.2萬英鎊,比排名第二的意大利分別高出約0.5萬英鎊和0.2萬英鎊。需要指出的是:英國人在音響和網球拍上面的開支相等,皆為15.5萬英鎊;意大利人在網球拍和香水上面的開支相等,同為15萬英鎊;德國和法國在音響上面的支出也一樣,都是15萬英鎊。
First, British people spend respectively 155 thousand pounds, 155 thousand pounds and 172 thousand pounds on personal stereos, tennis racquets and perfumes. These are 5,000 pounds and 2,000 pounds more than people’s expenses on the same goods in Italy, which ranks No. 2. We need to point out that the British people spend the same amount of money on personal stereos and tennis racquets and both are 155 thousand pounds. Meanwhile, the expenditure of Italian people on tennis racquets and perfumes is the same, both at 150 thousand pounds. Germany and France see the same amount of expenses on personal stereos, which is 15 thousand pounds.
第二,在音樂光盤、玩具和攝影方面,我們看到英國人的消費額分別是16.3萬、16.8萬和17.3萬英鎊,比排名第二的法國在這三種商品上的消費分別高出了0.3萬、0.5萬和0.4萬英鎊。意大利和法國在玩具方面的開支相當,都在15.8萬英鎊。而德國在這三方面的消費沒有多大差異,基本是14.3萬英鎊。
So far as personal stereos, toys and photographic film are concerned, we see that the British people’s consumption values are 160 thousand pounds, 168 thousand pounds and 173 thousand pounds respectively, each being 3,000 pounds, 5,000 pounds and 4,000 pounds more than that of the French people’s on the same item, which ranks the second place in the chart. Italy and France see equal amount of money spent on toys, which is 158 thousand pounds. Germany, however, shows very little difference in the expenditure on these three items, all standing at around 143 thousand pounds.
由此,我們了解了英國、德國、法國和意大利四個國家的人們在六種不同消費品方面的消費情況。
Thus, we come to know the consumption of people from Britain, Germany, France and Italy in six different consumer goods.
