　　The chart below shows the unemployment rates in the U.S. and Japan between March 1993 and March 1999.

　　Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

　　本图对比的是美国和日本从1993年3月到1999年3月六年间的失业率情况。

　　The graph compares the unemployment rates in the U.S. and in Japan over a span of 6 years from March 1993 to March 1999.

　　从图中可以看出，在这期间，美国的失业率呈现出逐渐下降的趋势，而日本的失业率却显现出截然相反的趋势，节节攀升。

　　As can be seen from the graph, during this period of time, the unemployment rate in U.S. revealed a trend of gradual decline, whereas that in Japan witnessed an opposite tendency, namely, a steady rise.

　　很明显，从1993年到1994年，日本的失业率从2.5%快速地上升到3.75%。然而，接下来的一年经历了轻微的震荡。从1995年3月到1998年中旬，伴随着偶尔的波动，继续呈现出稳定的增加趋势。尤其在1998年，曾一度达到了约5.3%的最高值，然后才开始再次转入微弱的下跌，最终以5%收尾。

　　Obviously, there was a dramatic increase with the unemployment rate in Japan between 1993 and 1994, rising from about 2.5% to 3.75%. Nevertheless, the following year experienced a slight fluctuation. From March 1995 to the middle of 1998, there was a stable growth accompanied by occasional fluctuations. Particularly in 1998, it peaked at approximately 5.3% and afterwards began to show minor drop before finally ending up at 5%.

　　另一方面，美国的失业率走向与日本完全不一样。从图表上看，美国失业率从最初的7.0%下降到了最后的5.1%。特别是在1998年，一度达到了4.7%的最低点，几乎与日本的最高点持平。

　　On the other hand, the unemployment rate in U.S. was totally different from that in Japan. As is shown from the graph, US unemployment rate fell significantly from the original 7.0% to the final 5.1%. The lowest rate, which appeared in 1998, reached about 4.7%, almost drew even to the highest rate in Japan.

　　由此，我们了解了美国和日本在1993-1999年间失业率的一些情况。

　　Thus, we have learned about some information about the unemployment rates in the US and Japan between 1993 and 1999.
