  2. There be 句型: “变化名词” 作主语 + in + “被描述对象”

    There was an increase in the number of full-time teachers over the following two years.

  3. There be 句型: “描述对象” 做主语+时间/地点

    There were an increasing number of teachers over the subsequent two years.
    subsequent: adj.随后的,接着的

  4. 时间/地点 +“经历/见证” + “变化名词”+ in+ “被描述对象”

  5. 一种趋势+ 出现/被发现+ in + “被描述对象”

    An upward trend occurred/ emerged/ was found in the number of full-time teachers from 1962 to 1964.

衔接手段

  1. Then/ from this time onwards/ from then on

    There was a rise. Then the number went down …

    转折: However, …/ …, while … / In/By contrast, … / Conversely, … / on the other hand, …
    就 … 而言:As to …/ As for …/ In terms of …

线图(典型的动态图,用上述总结内容!)

线图写作思路总结
主体段(2-3段):

  1. 各个起点或终点数据要对比
  2. 双线图按照时间段分段;多线图按照趋势、变化幅度或者水平高低分段
    结尾段(首段概括了图形总体特征,可以省略结尾段):
    图形总特征:规律&相同点不同点(动态趋势幅度、对象差距、正比反比等)

PS:关于年龄的表达:

年龄段:

  • people at the age of 26-40
  • people aged 26-40
  • 26-40 year olds
    年龄组:the age group / the age bracket

动态饼图和动态柱状图等其他类型

饼图

基础表达:

占据(比例):

account for / make up / represent / constitute / contribute +百分数

代表(比例):

represent/ stand for

构成(比例):

be made up of
constitute / compose / comprise
consist of
be divided into

表示“占比”的句式

  1. 描述对象做主语+“占据”
    Over-grazing accounts for 35% (of the land degradation).
  2. The percentage/proportion of…或The figure for…做主语
    The percentage/proportion of over-grazing is 35%
    The figure for overgrazing is 35%.
  3. 百分数做主语
    35% of the land degradation is caused by over-grazing.

最大:

the highest proportion (of)
a maximal number (of)
(国家或群体)take the lead/top the list

最小:

the lowest proportion (of)
a minimal number (of)
(国家或群体)be at the bottom

表示“倍数”

  1. 事物本身变为原来的两倍或三倍:
    double / triple (vi.)
    almost double 将近原来两倍
    increase twofold / threefold (adv.)
    2)与其他事物相比:
    A +is…times +as+ 形容词原级+as +B
    A +is…times+ the + 计量名词(size / length / height / width / depth/amount) +of + B
    The + 计量名词+ of + A + be + 倍数+ that + of + B

In 2006,the time spent on paper documents accounted for 10%, which was half as high as the 1980 figure.
In 2006,the time spent on paper documents was half as much as that in 1980.
There was half as much time spent on paper documents in 2006 as the time in 1980.
There was half as much time spent on phones in 2006 as the time in 1980, and so was the time people expended on paperwork.注意这里有个倒装!

动静结合饼图(参考上述动态图)

饼图动静结合写作思路

  1. 以高水平数据作为切入点,将描述对象分为2-3组
  2. 重点描述对象采取动静结合的写法,先静后动,其余的描述对象可以按照动态描写来写(对象:先静后动;数据:先合并后拆开)

PS:当要写某两个数据相加:
Collectively/Together, …and… account for …
而表示“分别地”:separately/respectively

静态柱图

写作思路:

  1. 以简单的维度作为切入点
  2. 按照水平高低,将描述对象分为2-3组
  3. 每组数据的交代顺序是先普通后特殊,先相同后不同

注意:

数据只要不是写在括号里,则前面的介词不能漏下!
静态数据:at/with _% of … + v.ing / v.ed / to do

动态:from…to…
超过:by:A overtakes/outskips/exceeds B by _%

静态表格

写作思路

  1. 观察横向和纵向的规律(大小排序或排序联系),以简单的规律作为切入点,并且指出不符合规律的描述对象
  2. 数据代入的重点依然是极值、相等、明显倍数等

正反比关系:

A is proportional to B
A is inversely proportional to B

proportional:adj.成比例的; n.比例项

或者也可以用比较级:the more…, the more …
