The first table below shows the results of a survey which sampled a cross-section of 100,000 people asking if they traveled abroad and why they traveled for the period 1994-98. The second table shows their destinations over the same period.

這兩個(gè)圖表反映的是一項(xiàng)基于10萬(wàn)英國(guó)人的抽樣調(diào)查結(jié)果，時(shí)間為1994-1998年四年間。圖表1顯示的是英國(guó)公民出國(guó)旅游的目的;圖表2展示的是他們前往的國(guó)家和地區(qū)。
The two tables reflect the results of a survey which sampled a cross-section of 100,000 British people over a span of four years from 1994 to 1998. The first one shows the purposes of their visits abroad and the second indicates their choices of destinations.
從圖表1來(lái)看，度假是英國(guó)人出國(guó)的主要原因，其次是為公務(wù)原因以及走親訪(fǎng)友。從圖表2看出，西歐是最為集中的目的地，然后是北美和所有其它地區(qū)的匯總。
As can be seen from table 1, holiday-making was the main reason for British people to travel abroad. Next were for business sake and for visiting friends and relatives. Table 2 shows that Western Europe was the primary destination of the British people traveling abroad and next came North America and many different countries and areas as a whole.
首先，我們看到1994年因度假而出國(guó)的次數(shù)為15,246，與公務(wù)出國(guó)的3,155次、走親訪(fǎng)友出國(guó)的2,689次，以及別的什么原因的982次形成了明顯的比照。1995年，我們看到接受調(diào)查的英國(guó)人出國(guó)度假的次數(shù)較之前一年有所下降，為14,898次，但仍然遠(yuǎn)高于因其它原因而出國(guó)的次數(shù)。接下來(lái)的幾年，我們看到出國(guó)度假、公務(wù)、走親訪(fǎng)友的次數(shù)都繼續(xù)增長(zhǎng)，其中，1996年出國(guó)度假的增長(zhǎng)最大，從14,898次上升至17,896次。1997年是公務(wù)出差和走親訪(fǎng)友的增長(zhǎng)最大，分別增長(zhǎng)了390次和277次。因?yàn)槠渌虻某鰢?guó)則不斷出現(xiàn)波動(dòng)，從1994年的982次降到1995年的896次，然后又攀升到1054次，最后又降低到990次。從每年出國(guó)總次數(shù)來(lái)對(duì)比，1998年為最多的一年，有28,828次，1995年最少，是21,610次。
First, in 1994, there were 15,246 visits abroad for holiday spending which contrasted strikingly to 3,155 visits for business, 2,689 visits for visiting friends and relatives and 982 visits for other reasons. In 1995, we see that the number of visits paid by the sampled British people in the survey decreased to 14,898, but it was still much higher than visits for all other reasons. In the following years, we find that visits for holiday making, business and for visiting friends and relatives continued to rise, among which 1996 witnessed the biggest growth, increasing from 14,898 to 17,896. In 1997, visits for business and for seeing friends and relatives saw the largest growth and there were an increase by 390 and 277 respectively. Visits abroad for other reasons fluctuated, dropping from 982 in 1994 to 896 in 1995 and then climbing back to 1054 before finally falling to 990. In terms of the total of each designated year, 1998 boasted the highest with 28,828 while 1995 was the least with 21,610.
其次，受調(diào)查者前往不同國(guó)家和地區(qū)的次數(shù)與圖1模式相仿。我們看到，西歐一直是英國(guó)人前往次數(shù)最多的地區(qū)，最少的1995年也有18,944次，最多的1998年則有24,519次。前往北美的次數(shù)也從最低的914次攀升到了最高的1,823次。前往其它地區(qū)的綜合也占了不小的比重，最低1,752次，最高2,486次。前往各地區(qū)的綜合也是1995年最少，21,610次;1998年最多，28,828次。
Second, the destinations of the visits of the sampled people in the survey followed a similar trend to table 1. We see that Western Europe received the largest number of visitors from the UK. In 1995, even when the visits were at its bottom, it was also as high as 18,944 and in 1998, it was 24,519, the highest. People who went to North America rose from 914 to 1,823. Those who went to other areas also accounted for a large proportion, with the smallest number at 1,752 and the largest at 2,486. The total of visits to various areas saw the smallest in 1995 which was 21,610 and the largest in 1998 which was 28,828.
由此我們可以看出英國(guó)人出國(guó)的原因以及前往地區(qū)的變化。
From the two tables, we can see the changes in the reasons for British people to travel abroad and their preferred destinations.
