过去几年里，移动支付市场在中国蓬勃发展。随着移动互联网的出现，手机购物逐渐成为一种趋势。18到30岁的年轻人构成了移动支付市场的最大群体。由于现在用手机付款极容易，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。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。专家预测，中国移动支付市场未来仍有很大发展潜力。

逐句解析如下：
第一句：
过去几年里，移动支付市场在中国蓬勃发展。
首先，mobilephone都知道是移动手机的意思，因此“移动支付”译为“mobilepayment”,“蓬勃发展”也可简单译为“…wasdevelopingvigorously”。此外，因为是在过去几年里，所以注意时态。
全句翻译：Themarketofmobilepaymentwasboominginthepastfewyears.
第二句：
随着移动互联网的出现，手机购物逐渐成为一种趋势。“出现”可译为“appearance”或“advent”。注意“随着”要么是With后面加短语，要么As后面加句子。
全句翻译：
WiththeadventofmobileInternet,mobileshoppinghasgraduallybecomeatrend.
第三句：
18到30岁的年轻人构成了移动支付市场的最大群体。此句注意年龄的表达法。“18到30岁之间的人”译为“peopleagedbetween18and30”,注意“betweenAandB”的用法。构成也可译为“makeup”,后面“移动支付市场的最大群体”中文里面A的B的结构(A,B为名词)，译为BofA。
Youngpeopleagedbetween18and30constitutethelargestgroupofmobilepaymentmarket.
第四句：
由于现在用手机付款极容易，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。“宁愿”译为“wouldrather”或“preferto”皆可。
词汇：现金cash,信用卡creditcard
Sinceitisextremelyeasytopaybymobilephones,manyconsumerswouldratherpaybymobilephoneswhileshopping,reluctanttousecashorcreditcards.
第五句：
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。
词汇：鼓励encourage,消费consumption,打折discount
全句翻译：Toencourageconsumption,manystoresofferdiscountstocustomerswhopaybymobilephones.
第六句：
专家预测，中国移动支付市场未来仍有很大发展潜力。
形式可译为“Expertspredictthat…”也可以译为“Itispredictedbyexpertsthat…”。
词汇：专家expert,潜力potential，既可以做名词也可以做形容词“潜在的”。
ItispredictedbyexpertsthatChinesemobilepaymentmarketstillhasgreatdevelopmentpotentialinthefuture.
