1. We had a good response to our survey and we found that while 80% of our students drink coffee, only 15% drink tea, with the rest preferring water.

1、我們的調(diào)查反響很好，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，80%的學(xué)生喝咖啡，只有15%喝茶，剩下的更喜歡喝水。

2. Over 800,000 people in the US are estimated to have tried skiing.

2、美國(guó)有預(yù)計(jì)超過(guò)80萬(wàn)人嘗試過(guò)滑雪。

This may seem a large number but it represents just over 0.26% of the total population of 300 million. So, per capita, it is surprisingly small.

這看起來(lái)似乎是個(gè)大數(shù)字，但這僅占總?cè)丝?億的0.26%。所以，人均來(lái)算，數(shù)字驚人地小。

3. It is estimated that India is home to between 38,000 and 53,000 wild elephants, while Africa has between 470,000 and 690,000.

3、據(jù)估計(jì)，印度有三萬(wàn)八千至五萬(wàn)三千頭野象，而非洲有四十七萬(wàn)到六十九萬(wàn)。

Exact figures are difficult to determine.

很難確定具體數(shù)字。

4. An elephant can weight between 2.5 and 5 tonnes. This is comparable to the tongue of blue whale, which alone can weight 2.7 tonnes.

4、一頭大象的體重約為2.5至5噸。這和藍(lán)鯨的舌頭差不多，單是舌頭就重2.7噸。

In fact, a blue whale can weight 15 times more than an elephant, and can grow to about 10 times the size of a standard bus.

事實(shí)上，一頭藍(lán)鯨的體重能達(dá)到大象的15倍有余，體積能長(zhǎng)到10倍的普通巴士那么大。
