　　【解析】

　　①过去几年里，移动支付市场在中国蓬勃发展。

　　The past few years has witnessed a rapid development of mobile payment market in China.

　　句法方面：此句常规思路可以翻译为主谓结构：In the past few years, the mobile payment market has flourished in China.“过去几年”译为时间状语，若要打破常规，可以翻译为：地点、时间见证(witness;see)发展变化，注意时态为完成时。

　　词汇方面：移动支付，mobile payment,此处考生容易出现词性错误(pay，payment)。

　　②随着移动互联网的出现，手机购物逐渐成为一种趋势。

　　With the emergence of the mobile Internet, it has gradually become a trend to shop by phone.

　　句法方面：“随着…”用介词with+名词，处理为伴随状语;主句是主系表结构，选取变化类系动词“become”，注意要用完成时态;“手机购物”做主语，可处理为形式主语“it”, 真正的主语“to shop by phone”后置。

　　词汇方面：移动互联网，mobile Internet;手机购物，to shop by phone.

　　③18到30岁的年轻人构成了移动支付市场的最大群体。

　　Young people aged between 18 and 30 constitute the largest group of the mobile payment market.

　　句法方面：翻译此句要注意拎出主干：年轻人构成最大群体;时态为一般现在时，young people constitute thelargest group. 再添加修饰，“18到30岁的”修饰“年轻人”，后置，可翻译为“agedbetween 18 and 30”;也可译为“between 18 and 30 yearsold”;“移动支付市场的”修饰“最大群体”，后置，用of 结构引出。

　　词汇方面：构成，之前考过(构成现代世界基础的基本元素)constitute;represent;make up;account for等。移动支付市场，可直接译为“the mobile payment market”，也可用Aof B 结构译为“the market of mobile payment”。

　　④由于现在用手机付款很容易，许多消费者在购物时宁愿用手机付款，而不愿用现金或信用卡。

　　As it is convenient to pay by mobile phone now, many consumers prefer to pay by mobile phone instead of cash or credit card when they are shopping.

　　句法方面：此句表达因果关系，前半句译为原因状语从句，since/as/because+完整的句子即可;主句出现“宁愿…而不愿…”结构，可翻译为“would rather … than …”;“prefer A to B”等结构处理。

　　词汇方面：现金，cash;信用卡，credit card。

　　⑤为了鼓励人们多消费，许多商店给使用移动支付的顾客打折。

　　To encourage people to spend more, many stores offer discounts to customers who use mobile payments.

　　句法方面：前半句为目的状语，“为了…”处理为“to…”或“in order to…”;主句为主谓双宾结构，也可变为主谓宾结构，间接宾语处理为“to…”。

　　词汇方面：打折，discount; 顾客，customers;给，give或offer。

　　⑥专家预测，中国移动支付市场未来仍有很大发展潜力。

　　Experts predict that China's mobile payment market still has great potential for growth in the future.

　　句法方面：此句处理为宾语从句，主句从句时态均为一般现在时，从句为主谓宾结构。“在未来”，时间状语提出来放到最后。

　　词汇方面：专家，expert;预测，predict;发展，development或 growth;潜力，potential;发展潜力，注意后面接的介词用“for”。
