双语新闻：首尔物价 全亚洲最贵(图)

　　Seoul is Asia's costliest city for expatriates while the weaker yen has made Japanese cities more affordable, a survey released Monday said.

　　The latest twice-yearly survey by global human resources firm ECA International showed the South Korean capital jump one notch higher to rank seventh globally in a list of the most expensive places for expatriates over the last 12 months.

　　Tokyo retained its place as the second most expensive Asian city but globally, the Japanese capital dropped out of the top 10 list for the first time because of the weaker yen.

　　Yokohama placed third, followed by Kobe, Hong Kong, Taipei, Beijing, Shanghai and Singapore, with the Chinese city of Guangzhou taking the 10th spot, the survey said.

　　星期一公布的一份调查显示：对于在亚洲的外国人来说，首尔已经成为物价最昂贵的亚洲城市，日本城市因为日元疲软，物价反而变得更容易负担得起。

　　东京依然是亚洲第二昂贵城市，但在全球排名上却因为日元疲软首次跌出十大。

　　调查表示，(亚洲排名中)横滨排名第三，接着是神户、中国香港、中国台北、北京、上海和新加坡，广州排名第10位。
