　　這兩個柱狀圖對比了1970年至2000年30年里美國人結婚與離婚的人數以及1970和2000年美國成年人的整體婚姻狀況。

　　The two bar charts compare the number of married and divorced people in USA over a span of 30 years from 1970 to 2000 and the overall marital status of US adults in 1970 and 2000.

　　從圖1可以看出，三十年間，結婚的人數逐步下跌，離婚人數呈現波動。圖2顯示，2000年美國成年人的婚姻狀況較之1970年發生了巨大的變化。

　　As can be seen from the first chart, over the designated 30 years, the number of marriages experienced a steady fall while the number of divorces, however, fluctuated. The second chart shows that as compared with the situation in 1970, American adults marital status underwent dramatic changes.

　　首先，1970和1980年，美國的婚姻數字相同，皆為250例，離婚數卻分別高達100萬例和140萬例。1990年和2000年結婚數的對比是230萬:200萬，離婚數對比是110萬:100萬。我們看到，離婚數最多的年份是1980年，同時還看到，2000年的離婚數與1970年持平。

　　To begin with, in 1970 and 1980, there was equal number of marriages in USA, both being 2.5 million. However, divorces were as high as 1 million and 1.4 million respectively. The numbers of marriages for the year 1990 and 2000 were 2.3 million versus 2 million while divorces were 1.1 million versus 1 million. We also find that the year 1980 witnessed the greatest number of divorces and meanwhile, the number of divorces in 2000 drew even with that in 1970.

　　第二，縱覽另一圖表所示的美國成年人婚姻狀況，我們看到：決意不結婚者和離婚者在2000年的百分比都要高于1970年，兩組數據的對比分別是20%:14%，9%:3%。在結婚和喪偶兩項上，1970年的數據高于2000年，數據對比是70%:60%，8%:3%。

　　Secondly, as we look at the other chart, we see that the percentages of those who were determined not to be in a marriage and those who chose to end their marriages by divorce in 2000 were both higher than figures in 1970. The two groups of figures are 20%:14% and 9%:3% respectively. In terms of the other two categories, namely, married and widowed, the figures for 1970 were higher than those for 2000 and they are 70%:60% and 8%:3% respectively.

　　由此，我們了解了過去的幾十年里美國人對待婚姻的態度以及他們多方面的婚姻狀況。

　　Thus, we have gained an insight into the attitudes of Americans towards marriage and their multifaceted statuses in the past decades of years.
