英语作文中如何表达百分比
文/ 葛文山
问卷调查是高中作文命题的一个常见方式。对数据进行分析和描述时,常需要使用百分比。
一、必须知道的两个名词
percent的中文意思是:百分之…,如果你怕麻烦,还可以简化成%,这个单词还可以分开来写成:per cent,例如:16%的男生有心理问题。
1.
2.
3.  the boys have mental problems.
percent of…后面的名词直接决定着后面谓语动词的单复数形式。例如: 16 percent of the boys  overweight.
over 60 percent of the earth surface  covered with water.
但是,percentage中文是:百分率,百分比。如果用它表达上面的例句,可以说成: 我们汉语中常说的百分点可以被表达成:percentage points,例如: interest rate fell .
利率下降了六个百分点。
常见的词组有:a high/low/small percentage of,例如:
已婚妇女兼职的比例非常高。
二、必须知道的两个动词
在表达“占一定数量或比例”时,我们使用频率最高的动词有:
afro-americans  12% of the us population.
afro-americans  12% of the us population.
非裔美国人占美国人口的百分之十二。
account for还有另外一个常用用法,相当于动词explain。请看例句: recent pressure at work may  his strange behavior.
他行为怪异的原因可能是工作压力大。
相比之下,make up的意思非常丰富,用法更多。例如:
they
在最后一幕中,他们把她装扮成一个老头。
when youre the boss you can
当你是老板时,你可以制定你自己的规矩。
i dont eat breakfast but i
通常我不吃早饭,到中饭的时候在弥补。
三、如何表达“比例高低”
上面作文提示中,就有这样的一句:
大约12%的学生有情绪问题,其中,女生的比例比较高。
那么,如何表达比例的高低呢?最简单的表达就是:
在有情绪问题的学生中,女生占绝大多数。
再高级的一点的表达,可以使用短语the majority of或者a minority of,例如:  the students with emotional problems are girls.
在有情绪问题的学生中,女生占绝大多数。
only  people support these new laws.
只有少数的人支持这些新法律。
此外,还有介词短语in the majority和in a/the majority,上面的两句句话可以说成:
among the students with emotional problems, girls are
在有情绪问题的学生中,女生占绝大多数。
people who support these new laws are
只有少数的人支持这些新法律。
四、百分比的其他表达
当出现多个百分比时,可以对数字进行一些处理和转换,避免表达重复,例如:
第一组:百分之二十五的新生来自农村。
the new students come from the countryside.
第二组:在受访的人中,百分之五十一的人支持这个运动。people surveyed are in favor of the campaign.
第三组:这个班级有百分之六十七的学生患了近视眼。the students in the class are short-sighted.
第四组:70%的老师赞成这个计划,17%的人反对,13%的人不确定。 70% of the teachers support the plan. 17% of them are against it. sure.
70% of the teachers support the plan. 17% of them are against it. unsure.
五、三个重要的定语
在百分比之后,常要加上一些限定词,例如:
16% of the students  suffer from mental problems.
在接受的学生当中,有16%的学生有心理问题。
boys make up 53% of the students .
在有心理问题的学生当中,男生占53%。
很多时候,我们也可以使用定语从句或分词结构,例如上面的句子也可以写成:
boys make up 53% of the students
boys make up 53% of the students .
六、其他的表达技巧
首先,看一个例句:
16.2% of the boys have mental problems. 11.4% of the girls have mental
problems.
16.2%的男生有心理健康问题,11.4%的女生有心理健康问题。
这是男女学生之间的对比,我们可以使用while把这个两句话合二为一: 16.2% of the boys have mental problems while 11.4% of the girls have mental problems.
再认真看一下,这两句话的谓语和宾语都一样,只有主语不同,还可以简化为:  have men
tal problems.
