图表描述 第二讲 1.3 饼状图 一个饼 例题1 The pie chart below shows the average weekly expenditure per family in Britain (1996). 最多三项，最少三项，分别占？，加起来占？。 或者把饼块分类，分别介绍不同的饼块。 It is not surprising that the most expensive (adj.) component is A, which accounts for m% of all x. B is the next largest expenditure (n.), n% lower than A of all x and followed closely by C. The above three items of ? take up about o% of the x. By contrast, D, E and F make up the smallest percentage of total x, which are p%, q% and r%, respectively. 1.3.2 两个饼 基本思路是：每个饼块在两个饼中排名第？，占？%。但如果一个一个说，就会是流水帐。所以饼块要分类，分类的方法是：从左饼到右饼，上升的是一类，下降的是一类，保持不变的是一类。要写清楚变化的含义。在每一段中，再具体描写每个饼块，突出这些饼块的特点。 如果饼状图除了交代百分比以外，还有数量，请在首段完四要素以后，把两个饼的数量比较一下。 例题1 The pie charts below show the area and current population of the seven continents as a percentage of the total. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below. The pie charts show the seven continents of the world and the percentage of the total land mass of the globe that they occupy together with the percentage of the world’s population they are home to. The densely populated continents are Asia and Europe, both having about twice the population that could be expected were the global population evenly distributed over the global land mass. Asia is the largest continent in terms of both area (30%) and population (61%). Europe (with 7% of the area and 12% of the population) is the second smallest continent, yet has a population almost as high as that of Africa, a continent which is three larger in area. Africa and the Americas are relatively sparsely populated continents. North America (16% of the area and 8% of the population) and South America (12% of the area and 5.5% of the population) have population equal to about half of what could be expected if the global population were evenly distributed, whilst Africa’s population is about a third lower than would be expected in such a situation (20% of the area and 13% of the population). The smallest contin
