该图表展现的是1972-1983十一年间英国耐久消费品的拥有量。
The table indicates the consumer durables that were own in the UK over a period of 11 years from 1972 to 1983.
从图表来看,英国八种耐久消费品在所标识时间段里的拥有量总体分为三种情况:中央暖气设备、电视、吸尘器、冰箱、电话、洗碗机呈现出各有特色的上升趋势;洗衣机呈现出总的上升,但中间有一次下降、放映机无从对比。
As can be seen from the table, the ownership of the eight above mentioned consumer durables in the UK during the designated period of time roughly revealed three different trends. Central heating, television, vacuum cleaner, refrigerator, telephone and dishwasher showed a trend of increase with different characteristics; Washing machine showed a trend of general rise with one fluctuation; Video had nothing to compare with.
首先,中央暖气设备和电话一直处于上升态势。1972年暖气设备拥有量为37%,电话为42%,之后,前者以平均每年大约4%的增幅递增到了1983年的64%,最大增长发生在1972-1974年间,增幅为6%。后者以平均每年5%左右的增速增长到了1983年的77%,其中达到最大8%增速的有两次,分别是1972-1974和1979-1981年间。
Firstly, central heating and telephone were on a constant rise. In 1972, the figures for central heating and telephone were 37% and 42% respectively. In the following years, the former increased at an average rate of 4% every year and reached 64% in 1983. The biggest rise occurred during 1972-1974 and the rate was 6%. The latter increased at an average yearly rate of about 5% and rose to 77% in 1983. The biggest growth rate was 8% ,occurring twice in the process, one during 1972-1974, the other during 1979-1981.
其次,电视、吸尘器、冰箱、洗碗机的增长过程中皆出现了静止状态。电视机从1972年的93%上升到了1983年的98%,但在1976-1978年间维持在96%的静止状态;接下来在1979-1982又连续4年保持在97%。吸尘器从最初的87%上升至最后一年的95%,但在1976-1978年间则保持92%不变。冰箱和洗碗机也都出现了类似状态。
Second, in the rising processes of television, vacuum cleaner and dishwasher, there appeared static situations. Television increased from 93% in 1972 to 98% in 1983, but it remained at 96% during 1976-1978. Then for four continuous years from 1979 to 1982, there appeared another static period which stabilized at 97%. Vacuum cleaner grew from the original 87% to 95% in the end, but during 1976-1978, it remained unchanged at 92%. A similar pattern occurred to washing machine and dishwasher.
第三,洗衣机在从1972年的66%增长至1983年的80%的过程中出现了1978-1979年间1%的下降,从75%下降到了 74%,形成了图表里唯一的一次波动。
Third, washing machine climbed gradually from 66% in 1972 to 80% in 1983, but during 1978-1979, there was a drop by 1% from 75% to 74%, thus forming the only fluctuation across the board.
第四,放映机是从图表所标识的最后一年,即:1983年开始出现的,是18%,所以,没有任何变化数据可参考,也就无从对比。
Fourth, video merely appeared in the last year as designated in the table, namely 1983, and it was 18%. There were no other figures to refer to, thus there was no way to make any comparison.
总之,英国以上八种耐久消费品在11年里总体呈现的是上升态势。
In general, the eight consumer durables in the UK showed an overall trend of rise over a span of 11 years.
