雅思小作文数据表示方法,如何用英语表达数据的近似值?4种方法,助你突破雅思写作

在雅思英语小作文中,用英文对图表中的数据进行描述是必不可少的一个环节。

有时为了强调某数据,或突出大,或突出小,需对数据进行近似表达。例如,48%可近似表达为50%。

在对数据进行近似表达时,可遵照如下四大方法:

大约:对数据进行四舍五入;

超过:缩小数数据;

低于:放大数据;

等于:既不放大,也不缩小,仅强调。

1. 大约

英语中表述“大约”的短语,主要有 about, approximately, around , roughly more or less。因此对33.3%,我们可以使用“大约”描述为:approximately 33% 或 roughly one third等。

2. 超过

用英语表达“超过”主要只用more than, over, just overwell over. 例如, 33.2%可以表达为:more than 33 per cent, 或 just over one third等。

3. 低于

表达“低于”的英语短语要丰富的多,主要有: less than, under, just under, well under, virtually, almost, nearly, practically

因此,19.5%可以表达为 just under 20%, 或 almost 20%, 或 virtually 20%等。

4. 等于

是的, 哪怕不对数据进行任何形式的缩放,也可以通过添加表示“等于”的英语短语,来对数据进行强调。可以通过如下方式进行等于强调:

exactly three quarters (75%)

precisely three quarters (75%)

only 10% (10%), only less than 10%(9.5%)

a high of 60% (60%)

a low of 15% (15%)

up to 20 people

as many as 50 people

真题分析

下面,我们以如下雅思小作文真题为例,说明图表中的数据是如何被近似使用的。

The bar chart below shows the percentage of Australian men and women in different age groups who did regular physical activity in 2010.

在下面的句子中,我们对数据进行了近似处理。为了方便大家掌握近似的方法,我在每个近似值后括号中给出了原始数据。但请注意,在考试中,这是不必要的。

In the youngest age category (15 to 24), almost 53%(52.8%) of Australian men but only 47.7% (47.7%) of women did regular physical activity in 2010.

Between the ages of 45 and 64, the figure for male physical activity rose to around 45%(45.1%), while the proportion of active females remained around 8% higher, at 53%.

Finally, the percentages of Australian women and men aged 65 and over who exercised regularly were almost identical, at approximately 47%(46.7%和47.1%).

年龄英语表达

另外,通过上述例句,强烈推荐大家学习如下年龄的英语表达:

In the youngest age category (15 to 24) 在最小年龄段

Between the ages of 45 and 64 在45-64岁年龄段

women and men aged 65 and over 65岁及以上的老人
