　　该图表对比的是1930-1980五十年间五个国家囚禁犯人的数据情况。

　　The chart compares the figures for criminal imprisonment in five countries over a span of 50 years from 1930 to 1980.

　　总的来看，美国、加拿大、新西兰数据最为突出，而50年里，各国在这方面的数据都呈现了很大的波动性。

　　As can be seen from the chart, the figures for the United States, Canada and New Zealand stood out as being really significant and all the designated countries revealed rather dramatic changes in the imprisonment figures across the board over the 50 years.

　　首先，英国的监禁数据一直处于上升中。从1930年的30,000例逐渐增至1980年的85,000例，其中1940-1970年间增长最快。

　　Firstly, the imprisonment figures of UK were on a steady rise. We see that in 1930, there were 30,000 cases, but in 1980, it became 85,000 cases. The period during 1940-1970 saw the fastest increase.

　　第二，澳大利亚和新西兰的状况有点相似，但没有新西兰起落幅度那么大。这里，我们看到1930年时，澳大利亚的数据是70,000例，而新西兰则高达近100,000例。接下来的1940年两国的数据都出现了很大的下降，特别是新西兰下降了接近45,000例。1950年，新西兰数据继续小幅度下降，澳大利亚则小幅上扬。之后的1960年里两国数据都大幅上扬，分别达到70,000例和78,000例。1970年出现了很有趣的一面：英国、澳大利亚、新西兰三国的数据持平在79,000例，接下来的1980年我们看到的则是澳大利亚的大幅下跌与新西兰的继续增长。

　　Second, the situation of Australia was quite similar to that of New Zealand, but not as dramatic. Here we see that in 1930, the cases for Australia was 70,000 while New Zealand had a very high number of 100,000 cases. Then in 1940, the figures for the two countries both dropped substantially, with New Zealand dropping by almost 45,000 cases. In 1950, New Zealand went on with its trend of slight decrease while Australia showed a minor increase. Later, in 1960, both countries experienced great rises and reached 70,000 cases and 78,000 cases respectively. The year 1970 saw an interesting scene: the figures for UK, Australia and New Zealand drew even at 79,000 cases. Then in 1980, we see that Australia dropped substantially while New Zealand continued its upward trend.

　　第三，美国和加拿大起点非常高，1930年分别是100,000例和120,000例。1940年，美国大幅攀升至130,000例，而加拿大则出现了约10,000的下降。1950年，情况又发生戏剧性变化，美国降低了约20,000例，而加拿大则上升到大约115,000例。1960年，美国上升，加拿大下降，两国数据分别是118,000例和102,000例。1970年两国同时大幅下降，美国跌至95,000例，加拿大跌至83,000例。1980年美国的增长幅度大得惊人，迅猛攀升至138,000例，加拿大也上升至90,000例。

　　Third, U.S. and Canada both had very big starting figures in 1930, 100,000 cases and 120,000 cases respectively. In 1940, U.S. rose rapidly to 130,000 cases while Canada decreased by 10,000 cases. In 1950, things changed dramatically, with US dropping by about 20,000 cases while Canada rising to 115,000 cases. In 1960, U.S. rose while Canada fell and the figures for both countries were 118,000 cases and 102,000 cases respectively. The two countries both saw substantial decreases in 1970, with US falling to 95,000 cases and Canada dropping to 83,000 cases. 1980 witnessed an astounding increase margin with US and the figure rose with great momentum to 138,000 cases and Canada climbed up to 90,000 cases.

　　由此，我们看出，这五个国家的监禁情况在50年间确实发生了很多的变化。

　　Thus we see that imprisonment in the five countries underwent many changes across the 50 years.
