上次，沈阳环球教育老师结合学生的作文，解析了雅思A类的小作文之一的线图。这次，小编搜集了一下对柱状图进行一下点评和介绍。

　　学员作文:

　　The barchart shows that high income earners consumed considerably more fast foods than the other income groups, spending more than twice as much on hamburgers (43 pence per person per week) than on fish and chips or pizza (both under 20 pence). Average income earners also favored hamburgers, spending 33 pence per person per week, followed by fish and chips at 24 pence, then pizza at 11 pence. Low income earners appear to spend less than other income groups on fast foods, though fish and chip remains their most popular fast food, followed by hamburgers and then pizza. From the graph we can see that in 1970, fish and chips were twice as popular as burgers, pizza being at that time the least popular fast food. The consumption of hamburgers and pizza has risen steadily over the 20 year period to 1990 while the consumption of fish and chips has been in decline over that same period with a slight increase in popularity since 1985.

　　解析学员作文:

　　The chart shows that high income earners consumed considerably more fast foods than the other income groups, spending more than twice as much on hamburgers (43 pence per person per week) than on fish and chips or pizza (both under 20 pence). 说明了高收入人群的两个特点，第一是消耗快餐最多，第二是人群中hamburger, fish and chips, pizza的特点.

　　spending more than twice as much on hamburgers than on fish and chip and chips or pizza 这是一句令人费解的句子，含义应为“消耗的汉堡是薯片或匹萨的两倍多”，应用的句型应当为典型的表示倍数关系的句型“n times as…as”。

　　所以，这句话应当为 spending more than twice as much on hamburger as on fish and chips or pizza，其中more than修饰twice，表示比较句型为 twice as much…as 表示倍数比较的句型中还有一个重要的 n times more than, 也表示“是几倍”，而非多几倍，比如China is 22 times larger than Britain.中国是英国的22倍。

　　Average income earners also favored hamburgers, spending 33 pence per person per week, followed by fish and chips at 24 pence, then pizza at 11 pence.  Low income earners appear to spend less than other income groups on fast foods, though fish and chips remains their most popular fast food, followed by hamburgers and then pizza.

　　Average income earners also favored hamburgers, spending 33 pence per person per week, followed by fish and chips at 24 pence, then pizza at 11 pence. 说明了中收入人群的三类食品的消耗情况。这句是典型的表示顺序关系的表达， hamburgers, followed by fish and chips,

　　then pizza, 其表达句型为 A, followed by B, then C，这种表达尤其在饼图中应用尤为广泛。

　　而第2句话说明了低收入人群的两个特征，第一是该人群消耗的快餐数量最少，通过though这个从句说明了第二个特征，那就是该人群消耗三类食品的情形。结合上句，来看如何表达最喜欢：

　　Average income earners favored hamburgers; Fish and chips remains their most popular fast food.

　　From the graph we can see that in 1970, fish and chips were twice as popular as burgers, pizza being at that time the least popular fast food.The consumption of hamburgers and pizza has risen steadily over the 20 year period to 1990 while the consumption of fish and chips has been in decline over that same period with a slight increase in popularity since 1985.

　　From the graph we can see that in 1970, fish and chips were twice as popular as burgers, pizza being at that time the least popular fast food.

　　说明三类食品的起点（1970）情况，N times as…as 句型说明了fish and chips和burgers的关系。pizza being the least popular fast food at that time 为“独立主格结构”。

　　The consumption of hamburgers and pizza has risen steadily over the 20 year period to 1990 while the consumption of fish and chips has been in decline over that same period with a slight increase in popularity since 1985.

　　用一个表示对照的连词while说明上升趋势的hamburgers和下降趋势的fish and chips，注意上升和下降的表达，上升 has risen steadily，下降 has been in decline。表示段时间 over the 20 year period to 1990, over the same period 。with a slight increase in popularity用with 从句补充说明大趋势下的小变化。

　　总结，此文章具体的词汇句型积累：重点和难点是表示倍数关系的比较句型，N times as+ 形容词或副词原级…as  N times+ 形容词或副词的比较级…than。这两者均表示“是几倍”，并非“多出几倍”，特别注意，很多参考书都写错了表示三种的顺序关系 A, followed by B, then C，这个表达在饼图中很常用表示变化趋势

　　最后通过学员范文的解析，希望对大家在写雅思小作文柱图时，有所帮助。
