2018 考博英语 翻译汉译英模拟练习：自行车王国
中国一度被称为“自行车王国”(kingdom of the bicycle)是因为骑自行车的人数众多。1995年中国的自行车产量高达4474万辆。然而，随着汽车行业(auto industry)的蓬勃发展，自行车市场需求急剧下降。到2000年，其产量降到2000万辆。当下人们倡导更健康的生活方式，自行车已再度回归人们的生活，重新成为人们重要的出行工具。然而过去只需要100—200元的自行车如今售价很高，其功能当然更加齐全，也更为专业。如今—些世界顶级汽车制造商所生产的自行车越来越受到人们的欢迎。
参考译文
China was once referred to as the "kingdom of the bicycle" because of its large cycling population. In 1995, up to 44.74 million bicycles were made in China. But with the booming of the auto industry, the bicycle market met with a sharp decline in demand. The number of bicycles that were produced fell to only 20 million in 2000. As a healthier lifestyle is being promoted, the bicycle has come back to people's life and once again serves as an important travel tool for people. However, bicycles that only cost 100 to 200 yuan in the past now are sold at a very high price. They are of course more functional and more professional.Bicycles now manufactured by some of the world's first-class automakers are gradually gaining in popularity.
