109. Great Changes in People's Daily Expenses 人們?nèi)粘i_(kāi)銷(xiāo)的巨大變化
In the past five years, great changes have taken place in people's daily expenses. According to the figures in the above table, we can clearly see that the amount of money spent on food has decreased gradually, coming to 35% in 1998. However, there have been great increases in the expenses of clothing and recreation.
在過(guò)去的五年內(nèi),中國(guó)人日常開(kāi)銷(xiāo)發(fā)生了很大的變化。根據(jù)上面表格中的數(shù)字,我們能清楚地發(fā)現(xiàn)人們花在食品上的開(kāi)銷(xiāo)在逐漸下降,到1998年只占總開(kāi)銷(xiāo)的35%。然而,在飲食和娛樂(lè)上面的開(kāi)銷(xiāo)有很大提高。
What are the causes for these changes? In the first place, with the development of the economy, people pay more attention to their clothes. Some of them even want to be dressed in the latest fashions. Furthermore, people pay more and more attention to the quality of their lives. Therefore, many people like to spend more money on recreation.
是什么原因造成了這些變化?首先,隨著經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展,人們對(duì)他們的服裝越來(lái)越關(guān)注,一些人甚至愿意穿上最時(shí)尚的衣服;在另一方面,人們也越來(lái)越注重生活質(zhì)量,因此,許多人愿意在娛樂(lè)方面花更多的錢(qián)。
In short, I believe with the rapid increase in people's income, such trends will become even more obvious in the future.
總之,我相信將來(lái)隨著人們收入的增加,這種趨勢(shì)將會(huì)變得更加明顯。
