1.中国智能手机市场需求量降降降，中心词汇end/fall/down/decline/slowdown，举例说明：
China’s eight-year-long smartphone growth comes to an end.
China’s smartphone market has fallen for the first time, with annual shipments down by 4% in 2017, according to data from research firm Canalys.
The decline ends eight years’growth in the world’s largest mobile phone market.
Despite the overall slowdown of the market, Huawei saw double-digit growth, the Canalys report said.
2.中国品牌越挫越勇，市场扩张，中心词汇dominate the market/double-digit growth/overseas expansion；产品竞争力强，中心词汇是faster entry-level phones/ much more affordable price/premium experience,举例说明：
Smartphone brands Huawei, Oppo and Vivo continue to dominate the Chinese handset market.
Despite the overall slowdown of the market, Huawei saw double-digit growth, the Canalys report said.
“double-digit growth”为两位数增长，另外，“see+增长”是常见搭配，可以理解为拟人的手法，举例说明：China saw rapid growth in 2017.
But over the last two years, smaller Chinese Android smartphone brands have risen, offering faster entry-level phones at much more affordable prices.
“faster entry-level phone”为具有基本功能的智能手机运行速度更快，“much more affordable price”意味着价格更便宜了。
To offer these consumers a premium experience at a lower price, Oppo and Vivo-both owned by reclusive billionaire DuanYond Ping-chose to eschew online and instead open retail stores on high streets in rural provinces.
“premium experience”是顶级体验。
With the Chinese market looking pretty saturated for now,overseas expansion will be critical for Huawei,Oppo and Vivo in 2018.
“overseas expansion”是海外扩张。
“Oppo and Vivo are trying to expand into more countries like Russia and Japan, and they’re trying to deepen their market in South East Asia,” said Mr Jia.
3.竞争的白热化用哪些词语来表现，打得不可开交用“showdown”，完败别人可用“dethrone”，举例说明：
Between 2010 to 2015, the global smartphone market was mostly a showdown between Apple and Samsung.
By the end of 2016, it had already dethroned Samsung from the top spot as most profitable Android device brand in the world.
