This chart compares the amount of money spent on six consumer goods in Germany, Italy, France and Britain.
从图上可以看到,英国人在所有六种消费品上的花费都比任何其他国家人们的支出高。在音响、网球拍和香水这三种物品上,意大利排名第二,之后是德国和法国。在音乐光盘、玩具和摄影方面的消费排序依次是: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,英国人在音响、网球拍和香水上的花费分别达到了15.5万、15.5万和17.2万英镑,比排名第二的意大利分别高出约0.5万英镑和0.2万英镑。需要指出的是:英国人在音响和网球拍上面的开支相等,皆为15.5万英镑;意大利人在网球拍和香水上面的开支相等,同为15万英镑;德国和法国在音响上面的支出也一样,都是15万英镑。
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,在音乐光盘、玩具和摄影方面,我们看到英国人的消费额分别是16.3万、16.8万和17.3万英镑,比排名第二的法国在这三种商品上的消费分别高出了0.3万、0.5万和0.4万英镑。意大利和法国在玩具方面的开支相当,都在15.8万英镑。而德国在这三方面的消费没有多大差异,基本是14.3万英镑。
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,我们了解了英国、德国、法国和意大利四个国家的人们在六种不同消费品方面的消费情况。
Thus, we come to know the consumption of people from Britain, Germany, France and Italy in six different consumer goods.
