英語六級翻譯練習題:智慧型手機
目前,中國年齡在18歲至30歲之間的人口數量約為2.7億,該年齡段人群智慧型手機(smartphone)擁有率髙達92%,遠髙於全球67%的平均水平。據統計,中國城鎮居民全年人均(percapita)可支配收入(disposable income)為24565元,平均每月2047元,工作三個月才買得起一部5288元的iPhone 5。而2012年前10個月美國實際人均可支配收人為32653.1美元,平均每月3265美元,一個月就可以買16部199美元的iPhone 5。按此計算,美國在iPhone 5的消費力方面是中國的48倍,而智慧型手機普及率(coverage)仍被中國超過,由此可見中國人對智慧型手機的巨大熱情。
