109. Great Changes in People's Daily Expenses 人们日常开销的巨大变化

In the past five years, great changes have taken place in people's daily expenses. According to the figures in the above table, we can clearly see that the amount of money spent on food has decreased gradually, coming to 35% in 1998. However, there have been great increases in the expenses of clothing and recreation.

在过去的五年内，中国人日常开销发生了很大的变化。根据上面表格中的数字，我们能清楚地发现人们花在食品上的开销在逐渐下降，到1998年只占总开销的35%。然而，在饮食和娱乐上面的开销有很大提高。

What are the causes for these changes? In the first place, with the development of the economy, people pay more attention to their clothes. Some of them even want to be dressed in the latest fashions. Furthermore, people pay more and more attention to the quality of their lives. Therefore, many people like to spend more money on recreation.

是什么原因造成了这些变化?首先，随着经济的发展，人们对他们的服装越来越关注，一些人甚至愿意穿上最时尚的衣服;在另一方面，人们也越来越注重生活质量，因此，许多人愿意在娱乐方面花更多的钱。

In short, I believe with the rapid increase in people's income, such trends will become even more obvious in the future.

总之，我相信将来随着人们收入的增加，这种趋势将会变得更加明显。
