1. We had a good response to our survey and we found that while 80% of our students drink coffee, only 15% drink tea, with the rest preferring water.
1、我們的調查反響很好，我們發現，80%的學生喝咖啡，只有15%喝茶，剩下的更喜歡喝水。
2. Over 800,000 people in the US are estimated to have tried skiing.
2、美國有預計超過80萬人嘗試過滑雪。
This may seem a large number but it represents just over 0.26% of the total population of 300 million. So, per capita, it is surprisingly small.
這看起來似乎是個大數字，但這僅占總人口3億的0.26%。所以，人均來算，數字驚人地小。
3. It is estimated that India is home to between 38,000 and 53,000 wild elephants, while Africa has between 470,000 and 690,000.
3、據估計，印度有三萬八千至五萬三千頭野象，而非洲有四十七萬到六十九萬。
Exact figures are difficult to determine.
很難確定具體數字。
4. An elephant can weight between 2.5 and 5 tonnes. This is comparable to the tongue of blue whale, which alone can weight 2.7 tonnes.
4、一頭大象的體重約為2.5至5噸。這和藍鯨的舌頭差不多，單是舌頭就重2.7噸。
In fact, a blue whale can weight 15 times more than an elephant, and can grow to about 10 times the size of a standard bus.
事實上，一頭藍鯨的體重能達到大象的15倍有余，體積能長到10倍的普通巴士那么大。
