(1) It's clear that the obesity rate is on the rise, and this is alarming. Although this chart only shows statistics up to the year 2007, the trend still continues, and as of 2014, more than one-third, or 78 million Americans are obese. Obesity is not only a serious problem, but also a costly one in the U.S., and we have to find a way to fight it.
(2)This line graph shows the severity of the obesity problem in the United States. The statistics are obtained from data360.
(3)The X-axis represents the year, from 1990 to 2007, while the Y-axis shows the percentage of Americans who are obese. As you can see, the obesity rate has risen from 12% in 1990 to 27% in 2007. This is a 15% increase over the 17-year period.
「這塊蛋糕好吃嗎?」,會用Is this cake tasty?,以 tasty 或 good 來表示。另外,由於 delicious 本身已經含有「非常的好吃(= very tasty)」的強調意味在,所以(2)例句中,不會說 This cake is very delicious.,而必須說This cake is very tasty.。
如果想要特別強調 delicious 的時候,可以用 This cake is absolutely delicious. 這樣的句子,加上 absolutely,或是說 What a delicious cake(this is)!以感嘆句表達。
