　　The Average Family Expenses in X City

　　The two charts above tell us two facts. First, the annual income of average families in X cityincreased from $12,000 in 2005 to $16,000 in 2010, an increase of more than 33% in the fiveyears. Second, with the rise in income the percentage of expenditure increased, too. Of thetotal expense, that spent on housing and food grew from 43% to 54%, which is an increase of11% over the five years.

　　以上兩個圖表告訴我們兩個事實。首先，X市的平均家庭年收入從2005年的12,000 美元增加至2010年的16,000美元，在五年內增加33%以上。第二，隨著收入的增加，開銷的比例也增加了。總開銷中，用于住房和食品的花銷從40%增加至54%，在5年內增長了11%。

　　During the five years, the expenditure on housing grew by 7%, and on food，4%. A possibleexplanation for the increase is that the greater earnings enabled families to eat better and livebetter, or simply because the prices on food and housing went up. If it is the former, we canassume that the people may look forward to a better life. But with the latter, they may expecta hard time ahead. (148 words)

　　在這五年間，對房屋的開銷增長了7%，食品的開銷增長了4%。這一增長的一個可能解釋就是，更多的收入使得家庭能夠吃得更好，生活得更好，或者干脆說是因為食品和住房價格上漲。如果是前者，我們可以假設，人們可能期待一種更美好的生活。但相對于后者，他們可能會預知前面的生活很艱難。

　　Of the total expense, that spent on housing and food grew from 43% to 54%, which is anincrease of 11% over the five years.總開銷中，用于住房和食品的花銷從40%增加至54%，在5年內增長了11%。

　　點評：這個句子中，that指代的是Of the total expense,后面是由which引導的定語從句，which指代的是前文內容。
