1. At the moment,about 80 percent of web traffic is in English,but this percentage is going down.
目前,大约有80%的网络用英语,但这个百分比正在下降。
百分数的表达法：百分数由“基数词＋percent (per cent) 构成”。如：53%读作fifty–three percent, percent不能用复数形式。若百分数用作主语,其谓语动词单复数要依其后的名词来决定。

这个苹果约60%坏了。
About sixty percent of apples are bad.
这些苹果中约60%坏了。
