双语:冰岛当选最适合居住的国家(图)

  Iceland has overtaken Norway as the world's most desirable country to live in,according to the latest UN index on human development published last Tuesday that again puts AIDS -afflicted sub-Saharan African states at the bottom.

  据联合国上周二公布的“人类发展指数”最新报告,冰岛取代挪威成为全球最适合居住的国家,饱受

艾滋病之苦的撒哈拉以南非洲国家再次排在最后。

  Iceland,Norway,Australia,Canada and Ireland dominate the top places but the United States slipping to 12thplace from eighth last year in the UN Human Development Index.

  冰岛、挪威、澳大利亚、加拿大和爱尔兰在“人类发展指数”排行榜上名列前茅,而美国从去年的第8位跌至第12位。

  The index ranks 175 UN member countries plus Hong Kong and the Palestinian territories.It does not include 17 countries,including Iraq,Afghanistan and Somalia,because of inadequate data.

  该指数共对175个联合国成员国以及中国香港地区和巴勒斯坦进行了排名,

伊拉克、阿富汗和索马里等17个国家因数据不充分,未参与排名。

  Norway had held top spot for six years but was edged into second place by Iceland this year because of new life expectancy estimates and updated figures for gross domestic product,or GDP,the report said.

  此前,挪威在过去6年里一直占据榜首,但今年,由于最新统计的人均预期寿命和国内生产总值两项数据被冰岛赶超,因此下降至第2位。

  The report said most countries had seen their human development index rise over the last 30 years,but in 16 it was lower than in 1990,and in three --the Democratic Republic of Congo,Zambia and Zimbabwe --lowerthan in 1975.

  报告称,大多数国家和地区的人类发展指数在过去30年中都有所上升,但今年有16个国家的指数低于1990年,刚果民主共和国、赞比亚和津巴布韦的指数低于1975年。
