1）翻译下面的句子： 

过去几年投资是中国经济的引擎，现在主要是消费在拉动中国经济。

While investment was the engine of China’s economy a few years ago, today it’s mainly driven by consumption.

（参考翻译：While investment was the engine of China's economy a few years ago, today it's mainly driven by consumption. 或In the past few years, China's economy was driven mainly by investment, whereas today its engine is consumption.）

2）结合自己的生活、学习、工作、兴趣等，想象在什么语境下会用到这个表达。先简要描述这个场景，再造句。 

例子： With the upgrade of consumption, the medical beauty industry became one of the most powerful engines for the pharmaceutical industry.
