1.根据上表描述该城市家庭支出的变化
2.分析产生这些变化的原因
3.说明这些变化对个人和社会产生的影响?
As is shown in the table above, dramatic changes have taken place in family expenses in the City of Shanghai within two decades (from 1980 to 2000).

如上表所示，二十年中上海城市家庭支出发生了显著变化。
The most obvious change is in expense on food and clothing, which has dropped by 48%, while those on recreation, education and health care have increased respectively by 5%, l6% and l0%.
衣食支出上的变化最为显著，降低了48%，而娱乐、教育和医疗支出分别增加了5%、16%和10%。
Expenses on other things keep rising from 17% to 35%.The statistics of rise and fall seem to exist in isolation but are in fact closely related to one another.

其它方面的支出从17%不断增长到35%。这些增减看似孤立的，但实际上却是相互紧密联系的。
The most likely factors accounting for these changes are as follows: Development in economy is the fundamental one.

最可能引起这些变化的因素诸如以下：经济的发展是最根本的因素。
The increased income results in the lowering percentage of food and clothing. That is to say, a small percentage of the total income is enough to cover food and clothing expenses.
收入的增长降低了衣食支出的百分比。也就是说，总收入中很小的一部分就可以支付衣食支出。
 Another factor lies in the development of people’s concept. When people are well fed and well dressed, they begin to interest themselves in recreation and education.
另一个因素是人们观念的转变。人们吃穿好了就开始对娱乐和教育感兴趣了。
These changes should also be attributed to social reforms. In the 1990 s, college education was not totally free as it was before, which also accounts for the rising expenses on education.

这些变化还来自于社会改革。90年代的大学教育不像以前一样学费全免了，这样便导致了教育支出的增长。
Soon after, the government gradually stopped offering houses to its citizens without charges. People had to save a large proportion of their money for housing.From joozone.com.
不久之后，政府逐步为公民免费供房。人们不得不为了买房而攒下很多钱。
That’s partly why the expenses for others doubled. As for the more expenses on health care, I figure there are two main reasons: the cancellation of free medical care and people’s awareness of the importance of health.

这是其他支出双倍增长的部分原因。至于医疗上更多的支出，这里我指出亮点主要原因：免费医疗保险的取消和人们对健康的重视。
The changes reflect the development of the city and indicate that people are enjoying more.

这些变化反映了城市的发展，表现了人们得到了更多的享受。
