三、data的具體表達(dá)法

data在某一個(gè)時(shí)間段固定不變：fixed in time

在一系列的時(shí)間段中轉(zhuǎn)變：changes over time

持續(xù)變化的data在不同情況下：

增加：increase / raise / rise / go up ...

減少：decrease / grow down / drop / fall ...

波動(dòng)：fluctuate / rebound / undulate / wave ...

穩(wěn)定：remain stable / stabilize / level off ...

最常用的兩種表達(dá)法：

動(dòng)詞 + 副詞形式（Verb + Adverb form）

形容詞 + 名詞形式（Adjective + Noun form）

1. Verb + Adverb form

The number of XXX?

+increase/jump/rise/decrease/drop/fall/fluctuate...

+insignificantly/significantly/slightly/suddenly/rapidly/dramatically/sharply/steeply/steadily/gradually/slowly...

+from (第一時(shí)間) to (第二時(shí)間) / between (第一時(shí)間) and (第二時(shí)間)?

2. Adjective + Noun form

There was +

a sudden/rapid/dramatic/significant/sharp/steep/steady/gradual/slow/slight?

+increase/jump/rise/decrease/drop/fall/fluctuation（注意：上述很多詞不可用于修飾fluctuation）

+in the number of XXX from (第一時(shí)間) to (第二時(shí)間) / between (第一時(shí)間) and (第二時(shí)間)?

描述穩(wěn)定的data：

The number of XXX remained steady/stable from (第一時(shí)間) to (第二時(shí)間) / between (第一時(shí)間) and (第二時(shí)間)?

The number of XXX stayed the same from (第一時(shí)間) to (第二時(shí)間) / between (第一時(shí)間) and (第二時(shí)間)

There was little change / hardly any change / no change in the number of XXX from (第一時(shí)間) to (第二時(shí)間) / between (第一時(shí)間) and (第二時(shí)間)

描述不同狀態(tài)的data：

Noun form:?

steady drop / sharp rise peak / dramatic fall / sharp drop?

Verbal form:?

(to) bottom out / (to) reach the bottom / (to) increase gradually / (to) reach a plateau / (to) remain steady?

描述the highest point以及the lowest point：

高點(diǎn)極值：

The monthly profit / The figures / The situation ...?

+peaked in (月份/年) <準(zhǔn)確時(shí)間點(diǎn)用at XXX> at XXX% / XXX(極點(diǎn)data)?

或者reached a peak / a high point at XXX% / XXX(極點(diǎn)data)

低點(diǎn)極值：

XXX bottomed out / reached

+rock / the bottom / a low point

或者h(yuǎn)it a trough
