【参考范文】

The nine-year period from 2000 to 2008 witnessed a steady rise in the mobile-phone subscriptions of both developing and developed countries.The annual subscription number of the developed countries more than doubled from nearly 0.5 billion to 1 billion during the period,while that of the developing countries jumped over six-fold from 0.6 billion to 4 billion.All the data in the chart point to an undeniable fact that more and more people in the developed and developing countries have become mobile phone users.

The popularity of mobile phones shown in the chart can be explained by several reasons.To begin with,they make possible instant communication with people at home and abroad.In the second place,they are getting cheaper and smaller all the time,so they are more affordable and portable at the same time.Most important of all,the quality of communication is better and better and the coverage of network is larger and larger.

The sharp contrast between the two groups,in my belief,might come down to the fact that mobile phones became affordable to the large majority of people in developing countries for the first time.The trend will probably continue in the near future with technological development and further price cuts.

【参考译文】

2000到2008的这九年见证了发展中国家和发达国家手机用户量的稳定上升。发达国家的年手机用户量上升超过2倍，从约5亿到10亿，而发展中国家则上升了六倍，从6亿到40亿。这些数据都指出了一个不可否认的事实：越来越多发达和发展中国家的人已经成为了手机用户。

图表所展现出的手机流行现象可以被一些原因解释。首先，手机使人们在家和国外的变得可能。此外，手机变得越来越便宜，所以人们都买得起，且同时变得轻便。最重要的是，通信质量变得越来越好，网络的覆盖也越来越广。

在我看来，这两组的显著差别也许归因于这样一个事实，那就是发展中国家的大部分人第一次能买得起手机了。随着技术的发展和价格的进一步下降，这一趋势在不远的将来可能还会持续下去。
