　　一、观点论述

　　As the living standards of Chinese people have been greatly improved, a growing number of people can afford the travel abroad. Outbound travel（出境旅游）, has become more attractive to the Chinese since some overseas destinations are not crowded as domestic resorts（中国（景区））, which usually swarm with tourists.

　　二、高分热文
　　不同年龄段的用餐习惯
　　The graph reflects the dining habit（用餐习惯） of people at different age group. People between 25 and 35 are very likely to eat outside, with 65% of them reporting（表明） their meal outside home while 35 % of them mentioning eating at home. This is totally different from the habit of people between 35 and 45 witnessed（证明） by the graph above.The phenomenon mainly arises from the fact that family and career identity with the age has been changed. First and foremost, elder people often have become midlevel managers or even executives who do not need to worry about the uncertain future but get more freedom. Furthermore, as parents of children, they are more likely to prepare healthy diet for the kid, which becomes the top priority（首要任务） in their agenda.Younger people between 25 and 35 have no more time or energy to make food after a long busy work day, even though sometimes they take the responsibility of child raising. However, in my personal perspective, they should return home to have dinner more frequently.

　　三、精彩译文
　　该图反映了不同年龄阶段的人的用餐习惯。 25到35岁的人喜欢在外面吃饭，其中 65％的人说他们在外面吃饭，仅 35％的人提到在家里吃饭。上图显示，这和35至45岁的人的就餐习惯完全不同。这种现象的出现主要是因为随着年龄的增长，家庭和事业身份发生了改变。首先，中年人往往已经成为中层管理人员，甚至高管，他们不用担心未来的不确定性，反而有更多的自由。此外，作为孩子的父母，他们更喜欢为孩子准备健康的饮食，这成为他们每日工作的重中之重。25到35岁的年轻人经过一天长时间繁忙的工作后，没有更多的时间或精力做饭，尽管有时他们肩负着抚养孩子的责任。但是我认为，他们应该经常回家吃饭。
