許多考試都要求描述圖表,例如雅思和BEC高級等;做Business presentation時,若想要presentation更加有說服力(convincing),也要附加上相當?shù)膱D表與數(shù)據(jù)。所以描述它們的重要性不言而喻了。怎樣能用詞出彩呢?下面就分幾類來說說。
1.各種圖表的名稱(Types of chart)
餅狀圖(Pie chart): 餅狀圖內部分成一塊一塊,用于表示所占分量,那一塊一塊就叫"segment".
線形圖(Line graph): 橫軸叫axis,樞軸叫vertical,實線是solid line,虛線是broken line
柱狀圖(Bar chart): 每一個矩形就叫一個bar
表(Table): 表的“行”是“row”,“列”是“column”
流程圖(Flow chart)
組織結構圖(organigram)
2.描述變化時(Describing Change)
(1)向上的趨勢(Upward movement):
To increase/rise/go up
To grow/expand
To rocket/boom/soar
e.g. We increased sales.
We expanded our workforce.
We raised our prices.(注意:Raise是及物動詞)
(2)向下的趨勢(Downward movement)
To decrease/fall/drop/decline/go down
To slump/collapse/plummet/crash
注意:decrease和drop是及物動詞
(3)不再變動(an end to movement)
To flatten out/ level off
(4)無變化(No change)
To remain constant/stable
To stay the same/ at the same level
To maintain/hold/keep
e.g. We need to hold our costs down.
我們需要保持低成本
3.變化的程度(Degree of change)
Dramatically/considerably/significantly/moderately/slightly
e.g. Sales have fallen considerably.
銷售大幅度下降
Profits rose slightly.
利潤緩慢上升
4.變化速度(Speed of change)
Rapidly/quickly/suddenly/gradually/steadily/slowly
e.g. Sales went up rapidly.
銷售迅速增長
有了以上詞匯,在描述一幅圖表的時候就有了更多的選擇啦!
希望能夠在考試或者presentation的時候幫到大家!
