Graphs & Charts
A bar graph (柱状图) uses rectangular bars of different lengths to show and compare data.
The lengths of the bars are proportional (成比例) to the values they represent.
The bars can be vertical, up and down, or horizontal (美 ['hɔrə'zɑntl]，水平的) .
译文：柱状图使用不同长度的矩形条显示和比较数据。条形长度与它们表示的值成比例。
这些条形可以是垂直的、向上和向下的，也可以是水平的。
A circle graph (圆形图，扇面图), often called a pie graph, is shaped like a circle.
It is divided into segments that look like pieces of a pie.
Percentages (百分率，百分比) are used to compare the segments which are ordered from biggest to smallest.
译文：圆形图，通常称为饼图，形状像一个圆。它被分成几个看起来像馅饼的小块。百分比用于比较从大到小排序的部分。
Line graphs (曲线图，线状图) are used to show the relationship between two variables, such as time and distance.
These variables are plotted on (被标注在) 2 axes (美['æksɪz]，axe的复数，坐标轴), the x-axis (美 ['æksɪs]，轴，轴线) and the y-axis.
The x-axis often shows time while the y-axis shows how quantities, such as distance, temperature or profits change with time.
译文：曲线图是用来表示两个变量之间的关系,如时间和距离。这些变量标注在2个坐标轴上,X轴和Y轴。X轴通常表示时间，而Y轴表示数量，如距离、温度或利润如何随时间变化。
A flowchart (流程图) is a type of graph that shows how a process or a project flows from start to finish.
A flowchart consists of start points, inputs, outputs and decision points.
