参考译文:
With the improvement of living standard, vacation is playing an increasing important role in Chinese people’s life. In the past, Chinese spent most of their time on making a living, having little time going out to travel. In recent years, however, tourism developed rapidly in China. The appearance of economic prosperity and the wealthy middle class has triggered an unprecedented tourism boom. Chinese people not only travel inland, they also travel abroad. And the latter is becoming increasingly common. During the National Holiday in 2016, the overall consumption of tourism industry is more than 400 billion. It’s estimated by the World Trade Organization that by 2020, China will become the largest tourist country, and it will become the fastest country whose tourist expenditure increases the fastest in the next years.解析:

2. 注意句式多样化,多采用一些关联词,如:because of, at that time, however等词的使用,可以让译文更地道。
3. 意译与直译相结合,首先要保证译文忠于原文,不要一味追求辞藻华丽。
