参考范文

As is shown in the pie chart, college students travel based on different purposes. 37 percent of college students travel to appreciate beautiful scenery. Next comes the aim of relieving pressure, which accounts for 33 percent. Travelling to make friends, developing their independent capabilities and the rest account for 9%, 6% and 15% respectively.

The survey shows that most college students go on a journey to enjoy the beautiful sightseeing as well as relieve pressure. For one thing, nowadays, college students have more ample time and curiosity to explore the outside world. Travelling will not only provide opportunities to see the outside world, but also increase students’ knowledge and broaden their horizons. For another thing, college students suffer pressures from academic study, employment and interpersonal relationship, and thus, travelling acts as a good stress remover. People always feel refreshed and revitalized after coming back from a trip.

In view of these arguments, it is of no surprise that college students travel mainly for enjoying the beautiful sight and relieving pressure.

参考译文

饼形图中显示，高校学生的旅行目的是不同的。37%的大学生为了欣赏美景而旅行；仅次之的是为了缓解压力，占33%。交友、培养独立自主的能力和其他等旅行目的分别占9%、6%和15%。

调查显示大多数大学生旅行是为了欣赏美景和缓解压力。一方面，如今，大学生有更多空闲的时间和好奇心去探索外面的世界。旅行不仅让学生们有接触外面世界的机会，还丰富了他们的知识，开拓了眼界。另一方面，大学生承受了学业、就业和人际关系方面的压力，旅行可以帮助他们消除这些压力。人们旅行回来后会感到神清气爽、充满活力。

鉴于这些论述，学生们主要为了欣赏美景和缓解压力而旅行也不足为奇。
