The bar chart given above reflects that the number of readers choosing paper book or electronic books experienced some changes during the past four years. The number of paper book readers decreased slowly from 10 million in 2010 to 8 million in 2013. However, during the same period, the number of electronic book readers increased steadily from 8 million to 12 million.
We learn from the bar chart that people in mounting numbers would like to choose electronic books while less people like paper books. What might account for this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, with the widespread availability of electronic devices such as smartphones,tablet PC and Electronic Reader,it is much easier for electronic books to be applied and popularized. Secondly, compared with paper books, electronic books are characterized by convenience in terms of carrying and saving spaces. Furthermore, the costs of purchasing and downloading electronic books are lower that of paper books, which enables readers to save a great deal of money. Last but not least, electronic books sometimes stand for high fashion and efficiency.
Whether electronic books will totally replace paper books one day still seems to be uncertain. However, no matter what kind of books will vanish, the habit of reading books should not be eliminated.

这幅所给的柱状图反应了纸质图书和电子版图书的阅读者的数量在过去的四年发生了一些变化。纸质书籍的读者的数量从2010年的1000万缓慢下降到2013年的800万。而相反的是,电子书读者的数量从800万稳定增加到1200万。
我们从这幅柱状图中得知,越来越多的人愿意选择电子书而越来越少得人喜欢纸质书。有什么可以解释这个现象?理由可以罗列如下:首先,随着诸如智能手机、平板电脑、电子阅读身背这样的电子产品的广泛普及,电子书的使用和传播变得相对容易。其次,相比纸质书而言,电子书的携带更加方便,也更加节省空间。再者,购买或下载电子书的成本比购买书籍要低得多,这可以为读者省下一大笔钱。最后,电子书似乎也是一种时尚和高效的象征。
是否电子书会在某天彻底取代纸质书不得而知。然而,不管哪种书会消失,阅读的习惯是不能消失的。
