今日外刊来自《福布斯》（Forbes）。这篇文章主要报道了：如今美国人使用社交网络阅读新闻的情况(More Americans Are Getting Their News From Social Media)。文章中出现了很多描述具体数据的表达，非常值得同学们学习。

原文选段

Pew's study also found out those who rely on social media for their news: industry giant Facebook is now where about half (52%) of American adults get the news, while YouTube came in the second at 28%, followed by Twitter at 17% and Instagram at 14%. LinkedIn, Reddit and Snapchat had smaller but still notable audiences at a respective 8%, 8% and 6%.

Facebook, along with Twitter and Reddit, also stood out as the sites that had the highest proportion of respective users seeking news. Almost three-quarters (73%) of users of the social network use it as a way to get news, compared to 71% of Twitter and 62% of Reddit users the Pew study found.

活用分数

想要写百分之多少的人，相信大部分同学都会写 X % of people。如何让数据变得更灵活丰富一些呢？阅读文章后不难发现，一些分数的使用可以让数据的描写不再单调：

• 52% → about half

• 73% → three-quarters

• 88% → nine-in-ten

E.g.

近四分之三(73%)的社交网络用户将其用作获取新闻的方式。

Almost three-quarters(73%)of users of the social network use it as a way to get news.

原文选段

不能少了ta

当我们想要列举多个数据的时候，少不了respective(ly)这个单词，来看它的用法：

1.作为形容词使用，放在数据前面

• at a respective数1，数2 and 数3

E.g.

LinkedIn, Reddit 和Snapchat的受众虽少但仍值得注意，分别为8%，8% 和6%。

LinkedIn, Reddit and Snapchat had smaller but still notable audiences at a respective 8%. 8% and 6%.

2.作为副词使用，放在数据后面

• at 数1，数2 and 数3 respectively 或

• from 数 to 数 and 数 to 数respectively

E.g.

The amount of money spent on food and housing rose slightly from $155 to $160 and $95 to $100 respectively.

原文选段

排一排，比一比

当我们想要把多个数据从高到低排序时，可以试着运用这个结构：

• 句子, while 排第二的对象 came in second at数, followed by排第三的对象 at 数.

E.g. Turkish people spent the most (9%) on clothing and footwear, while Italian people came in the second at 4%, followed by Swedish people at 3.2%.

小作文的进阶之路上少不了各种表达的灵活变化，同学们一定要善于从平日的阅读和语料中积累素材。今天的三种数据表达法你学会了吗？赶紧运用起来吧！
