　　一份报告显示，未来15年，我国高收入消费者数量将激增。

　　The number of people with a disposable income of at least $10,000 per year is expected to grow to around 480 million by 2030, from around 132 million today, according to a report by the Economist¹ Intelligence Unit (EIU), a think tank associated with the Economist.

　　《经济学人》旗下智库经济学人信息部的报告称，到2030年，预计我国年可支配收入超过1万美元的人群数量将从现在的1.32亿增至4.8亿。

　　The proportion of the population with upper-middle and high incomes will expand from 10 percent to 35 percent by 2030 when China will look and feel like a more middle-class society, although inequalities in wealth will remain an important social challenge, the report pointed² out.

　　该报告指出，到2030年，中高层收入人口的比例将从现在的10%上升到35%，那时尽管贫富差距仍将是一个重要的社会挑战，但中国将更接近于一个中产阶级社会。

　　Inland cities are also poised⁵ to show strong growth in high-income residents, with Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing and Wuhan each looking to have over 2 million high-income consumers by 2030.

　　内陆城市的高收入人群数量也将有强劲的增长表现，2030年时，长沙、成都、重庆和武汉的高收入消费者人数均有望突破200万。

　　However, small cities and those undergoing industrial restructuring risk being left behind, the report noted⁶.

　　不过，报告指出，小城市和正在进行产业结构调整的城市面临掉队的风险。

　　With rising income, Chinese consumers will look to upgrade consumption habits and switch to more expensive and premium⁷ brands when buying items such as cars and mobile devices, as well as driving higher spending on service sectors⁸ such as leisure and tourism, health, education and finance.

　　随着收入的增长，人们的消费习惯也将升级，在购买一些商品，比如汽车和通讯设备时，会转向价格更高的高端品牌，同时在休闲、旅游、健康教育及金融等服务行业会出现强劲消费。
