We learn from the bar chart that people in mounting numbers would like to choose electronic books while less people like paper books. What might account for this phenomenon? Reasons can be listed as follows: for one thing, with the widespread availability of electronic devices such as smartphones，tablet PC and Electronic Reader，it is much easier for electronic books to be applied and popularized. Secondly, compared with paper books, electronic books are characterized by convenience in terms of carrying and saving spaces. Furthermore, the costs of purchasing and downloading electronic books are lower that of paper books, which enables readers to save a great deal of money. Last but not least, electronic books sometimes stand for high fashion and efficiency.
Whether electronic books will totally replace paper books one day still seems to be uncertain. However, no matter what kind of books will vanish, the habit of reading books should not be eliminated. (218 words)
參考譯文：
這幅所給的柱狀圖反應(yīng)了紙質(zhì)圖書和電子版圖書的閱讀者的數(shù)量在過去的四年發(fā)生了一些變化。紙質(zhì)書籍的讀者的數(shù)量從2010年的1000萬緩慢下降到2013年的800萬。而相反的是，電子書讀者的數(shù)量從800萬穩(wěn)定增加到1200萬。
我們從這幅柱狀圖中得知，越來越多的人愿意選擇電子書而越來越少得人喜歡紙質(zhì)書。有什么可以解釋這個現(xiàn)象?理由可以羅列如下：首先，隨著諸如智能手機(jī)、平板電腦、電子閱讀身背這樣的電子產(chǎn)品的廣泛普及，電子書的使用和傳播變得相對容易。其次，相比紙質(zhì)書而言，電子書的攜帶更加方便，也更加節(jié)省空間。再者，購買或下載電子書的成本比購買書籍要低得多，這可以為讀者省下一大筆錢。最后，電子書似乎也是一種時尚和高效的象征。
是否電子書會在某天徹底取代紙質(zhì)書不得而知。然而，不管哪種書會消失，閱讀的習(xí)慣是不能消失的。
