The given table compares the figures of a research on why 100 thousand of the UK residents visited overseas from 1994 to 1998, and the given bar chart illustrates which countries they travelled during this time.

这个表格比较了一项关于1994年至1998年间10万英国居民为何出国的研究数据，并且给出的条形图显示了他们在这段时间里去过哪些国家。

As a whole, the majority of the UK citizens travelled abroad for entertainment, and Western Europe was their most favourable destination. By looking at the table, it can be seen that generally there was a growing tendency for the UK people to travel into other countries from 1994 to 1998. During the second year, in 1995, the total number of travellers marginally declined from just over 22000 to nearly 21500; however, it steadily grew and reached the peak of approximately 29000 in the year 1998.

总的来说，大多数英国公民出国旅游是为了娱乐，西欧是他们最喜欢的目的地。从表中可以看出，从1994年到1998年，英国人出国旅游的人数普遍呈上升趋势。在第二年，即1995年，旅客总数从略高于22000人略微下降到接近21500人;然而，它稳步增长，在1998年达到约29000人的峰值。

These people gradually became more interested in traveling to all three regions during this period, but Western Europe was the best option. In 1994, just below 20,000 of the UK citizens went into Western Europe, compared with only almost 1000 into the North America. Furthermore, after a *all drop in 1995, the population of Western Europe visitors remarkably increased and reached the maximum of above 24000 in 1998, which was far more significant than the other two locations.

在此期间，这些人逐渐对这三个地区都感兴趣，但西欧是最好的选择。1994年，只有不到2万英国公民进入西欧，相比之下，只有近1000人进入北美。此外，在1995年略有下降之后，西欧游客人数显著增加，1998年达到24000人以上，这比其他两个地点重要得多。
