世界上哪个国家的人最爱喝酒?哪个国家最环保?哪个国家的人最长寿?哪个国家最安全?哪个国家的人最爱离婚?这些你都知道吗……
英国的《每日电讯报》利用最新统计数据,总结了一套“图说世界”的小地图。快随双语君(微信ID:chinadaily_mobile)一起来看看那些不为人知的“世界之最”,原来这个世界和我们想的真的有点不一样……
Life Expectancy 预期寿命
以长寿著称的日本毫无意外地拿下了全球最长寿国家的桂冠。日本的人均预期寿命达到了84岁。中国的人均预期寿命为75岁。
Africa is the only continent that contains nations where the average life expectancy is below 60. And there are 28 of them. The lowest life expectancy of all is found in Sierra Leone, where it is a staggering 46. Japan is where residents live the longest. It is closely followed by six countries on 83 years: Andorra, Australia, Switzerland, Italy, Singapore and San Marino.
世界上有28个平均人口寿命低于60岁的国家,全部分布在非洲。全球人口预期寿命最低的国家是塞拉利昂,大概是46岁。日本居民平均预期寿命是最长的。并列排在第二位的有6个国家,分别是安道尔、澳大利亚、瑞士、意大利、新加坡和圣马力诺,人口预期寿命达到83岁。
Who has the best 4G coverage?
哪个国家4G网络覆盖最广?
韩国的4G网络覆盖达到95.71%,全球居首。日本紧随其后,以92.03%的覆盖率排名第二。立陶宛排名第三,达到84.73%。中国的4G覆盖率达到了73.83%。
The presence of Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore in the top 10 is to be expected. But the appearance of Lithuania in third place might surprise. In fact, the Baltic nation has long been a world leader when it comes to connectivity. It ranks 15th out of 200 destinations when it comes to average internet speeds, according to a recent report by Akamai Technologies.
日本、香港和新加坡出现在前十不令人意外,但立陶宛排第三可能有点出人意料。实际上,提到网络,这个波罗的海国家一直以来就处于世界领先水平。Akamai科技最近的一份报告显示,就平均网速而言,它在200个国家里排第15。
Natural disasters 自然灾害
这张地图显示了哪些国家最有可能遭遇地震、洪水、风暴和干旱等灾害袭击。颜色越深表示风险越大。太平洋沿岸国家所承受的风险最大。西南太平洋岛国瓦努阿图的灾害指数达到了36.43,菲律宾为27.52。中国的自然灾害指数为6.91。
The report also takes into account how well prepared each country is to deal with a disaster. Europe - with the exception of the Netherlands, Albania and Serbia - is largely free from risk, as is the US and Canada. Africa and the Pacific Rim countries are, unsurprisingly, where the danger is highest.
这份地图也把每个国家应对自然灾害的准备进行了考虑。除了荷兰、阿尔巴尼亚和塞尔维亚外,欧洲其它国家的自然灾害风险都不高,美国加拿大也是如此。非洲和沿太平洋国家不出意料的成为最高风险国家。
Terror threat 恐怖威胁
许多西欧、北非和中东国家的恐怖威胁等级都很高。中国、美国两国的等级都保持在普通水平。
The threat is rated "high" in more than 30 countries, with summer holiday favourites such as Spain and France given the same rating as Libya, Pakistan and Somalia. Russia, Egypt, Tunisia, Myanmar, Kenya, the Philippines and Colombia, Turkey, Thailand, Australia and Belgium are also given the top rating, as well as much of the Middle East, including Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Afghanistan. Countries where the terror threat is low include Iceland, Bolivia, Ecuador, Poland, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Hungary, Vietnam and Japan.
威胁评级为“高”的有超过30个国家,像夏日度假胜地的西班牙和法国,与利比亚、巴基斯坦和索马里的评级相同。俄罗斯、埃及、突尼斯、缅甸、肯尼亚、菲律宾、哥伦比亚、土耳其、泰国、澳大利亚和比利时,以及包括伊拉克、沙特阿拉伯、也门、叙利亚、黎巴嫩和阿富汗在内的多数中东国家都处于最高威胁级别。恐怖威胁最低的国家包括冰岛、玻利维亚、厄瓜多尔、波兰、捷克、瑞士、匈牙利、越南和日本
Which country is the happiest?
哪个国家幸福感最强?
140个国家参与了调查。本次调查只关注国民是否幸福,不关注GDP的产量。结果,中美洲国家哥斯达黎加荣登榜首,幸福指数达到了44.7。中国的幸福指数为25.7,全球排名第72。
It means that Switzerland, Denmark and Australia, traditionally considered among the best places in which to live, are down in 24th, 32nd and 105th, respectively, while Costa Rica takes top spot for the second year running - ahead of Mexico and Colombia. Norway is the highest ranked European country, at 12th, the UK trails in 34th, while the US limps home in 108th.
瑞士、丹麦和澳大利亚这三个传统意义上被认为是最佳居住地的国家,排行仅仅为24位、32位和105位。哥斯达黎加连续第二年排名第一,领先于墨西哥及哥伦比亚。挪威排行12,是欧洲国家里排名最靠前的。英国排34位,美国排108位。
Who eats the most meat?
哪个国家吃肉最多?
美国、科威特和澳大利亚包揽了前三名。美国人每年平均消费120.2千克肉食品,中国不到其一半,为58.2千克。
The tiny Middle Eastern state of Kuwait, surprisingly perhaps, comes second, followed by Australia, The Bahamas and Luxembourg. New Zealand, Austria, French Polynesia, Bermuda and Argentina complete the top 10.
中东小国科威特出人意料地排名第二,澳大利亚、巴哈马群岛、卢森堡紧随其后。前十名里还有新西兰、奥地利、法属玻里尼西亚、百慕大和阿根廷。
The world's greenest places
世界上最绿的地方
热带地区的国家不出意料地排名靠前,北半球高纬度地区的森林覆盖率也比较高。
Suriname, Micronesia, Palau, Gabon, Guyana, American Samoa and the Solomon Islands all in the top 10. Some more northerly countries fare well too, with Finland (72.9 per cent forest area), 11th, Sweden (69.2 per cent) 15th, and Japan (68.6 per cent) 17th. And the least tree-filled countries? There are four with no forest whatsoever, according to World Bank's definition - San Marino, Qatar, Greenland and Oman - while in a further 12 places there is less than one per cent.
苏里南、密克罗尼西亚、帕劳、加蓬、圭亚那、美属萨摩亚和所罗门群岛都进入了前十。一些位置靠北的国家情况也不错,芬兰以72.9%的覆盖率排名第11,瑞典69.2%排名15,日本68.6%排名17。覆盖率最低的国家呢?根据世界银行的定义,世界上有四个完全没有树林的国家,分别是圣马力诺、卡塔尔、格陵兰岛和阿曼。还有12个国家森林覆盖率不到1%。
Alcohol consumption 酒精饮料消费
白俄罗斯成为了酒精饮用量最大的国家,平均每个成年人每年会喝掉17.5升纯酒精,相当于179瓶红酒或者1750杯伏特加。中国每人每年饮用6.7升纯酒精。
Belarus is the most sozzled state. It is followed by Moldova, Lithuania, Russia, Romania and Ukraine. And the most abstinent countries? Unsurprisingly, they are mostly Muslim states where the sale and consumption of alcohol is restricted. In Pakistan, Mauritania, Libya and Kuwait the average citizen drinks just 100ml of pure alcohol a year - the equivalent of a single bottle of wine.
白俄罗斯是最“醉”的国家。摩尔多瓦、立陶宛 、俄罗斯、罗马尼亚和乌克兰紧随其后。饮酒最有节制的国家呢?不出意料大多是销售和购买酒精受限的穆斯林国家。巴基斯坦、毛里塔尼亚、利比亚和科威特平均每人每年仅仅摄入100毫升纯酒精,大概等于一瓶红酒的量。
Railways 铁路
在铁路长度方面,美国第一,中国第二,俄罗斯、印度和加拿大紧随其后。可以看得出,人口数量大的国家都排名靠前。
Many countries don't have any railways at all, often due to the harsh, mountainous or densely forested surroundings. They include Iceland, Greenland, Yemen, Oman, Bhutan, Libya and Papua New Guinea.
由于严酷的自然环境、多山的地形或浓密的树林环绕,许多国家根本就没有铁路,比如冰岛、格陵兰岛、也门、阿曼、不但、利比亚和巴布亚新几内亚就是如此。
Which honeymoon heaven is #1 for divorce?
哪个蜜月圣地的离婚率最高?
马尔代夫这个蜜月圣地竟然成了世界上离婚率最高的国家,平均离婚率达到了10.97‰。这样的离婚率让马尔代夫登上了吉尼斯世界纪录。根据联合国的报告,马尔代夫的女性在30岁前平均会离婚三次。中国的离婚率为2‰。
Why is the rate so high in the Maldives? Various reasons have been cited. Perhaps the most compelling is that, as in other Muslim societies, where premarital sex is taboo, many marry young, but, under the country's mixed Sharia and common law system, they can then secure a divorce relatively easily when things don't work out.
为什么马尔代夫的离婚率那么高呢?有很多原因。最令人信服的一个解释是这么说的——与其它穆斯林国家一样,婚前性行为在马尔代夫是不被允许的。许多人很早就选择结婚,但因为马尔代夫处于伊斯兰教法和习惯法体系共同管理的状态下,因此如果婚姻不顺,离婚也是很容易的。
Russia, Belarus, Latvia and another tropical idyll - Aruba - complete the top five.
俄罗斯、白俄罗斯、拉脱维亚和典型的田园风光国家阿鲁巴均排进前五名。
Who are the tallest?
哪个国家人最高?
这张图表搜集了98个国家的男性身高数据,统计后发现,荷兰是男性身高最高的国家,平均身高达到了1.838米。
Other countries among the 10 tallest include Denmark, Norway, Germany and Croatia. Britain, whose men are 1.77m, on average, comes in at 26th. At the other end of the scale, the shortest countries are mostly in Asia and South America.
其它前十的国家包括丹麦、挪威、德国和克罗地亚。英国男性平均身高为1.77米,排名26。排在榜单最后的主要是大多是亚洲和南美国家。
Which country is the biggest CO2 emitter?
哪个国家二氧化碳排放量最高?
中东国家卡塔尔成为了世界上二氧化碳排放量最高的国家,平均每人排放35.73吨。中国的排放量为人均6.66吨。
Denmark is the clear leader when it comes to keeping its emissions down; it produces less CO2 per capita than anywhere else on Earth, followed by Finland and Nigeria.
丹麦是控制排放量的领军国家,它的人均二氧化碳排放量比世界上任何国家都要低。芬兰、尼日利亚紧随其后。
(注:这幅图算的是人均排放量,中国人口基数大,因此人均排放量较低。)
World Heritage Sites 世界遗产地
历史文化比价悠久的国家可能拥有较多的文化遗产,其中意大利、中国、西班牙和法国排名前四,分别有51处、48处、44处和41处。
France is the most popular country in the world, with Spain not far behind. China is the most populous, and Italy was the birthplace of the Renaissance.
法国是世界上最受欢迎的国家,西班牙也没差太多。中国是人口最多的国家,意大利是文艺复兴的发源地。
Who's got the most guns?
哪个国家持枪最多?
美国毫无疑问地成为了世界枪械的集中地,平均每100人就有112.6把枪支,人均超过一把。
Second in the ranking is Serbia, with 75.6. Yemen, Switzerland and Cyprus complete the top five, while the UK ranks 82nd in the world, with 6.6 guns per 100 residents.
排名第二的是塞尔维亚,持枪率达到了75.6%。也门、瑞士和塞浦路斯紧随其后,排进前五。英国排第82名,每一百人有6.6把枪。
Who are the widest? 最胖的国家
美属萨摩亚的居民面临着更严重的肥胖问题,该国的肥胖率达到了74.6%。中国只有5.7%,处于比较健康的状态。
A slew of other South Pacific nations follow, including Nauru, Tonga, Samoa, Palau and Kiribati. In fact, Kuwait is the only non-Pacific island to feature in the top 10. The US, where 33 per cent are considered to be obese, is 18th on the list, while the UK (26.9 per cent) is 43rd.
大量南太平洋岛国排名都很靠前,包括瑙鲁、汤加、萨摩亚、帕劳和基里巴斯。实际上,科威特是唯一一个排名前十又不属于非太平洋岛国的国家。美国的肥胖率达33%,排名世界18。英国肥胖率26.9,排名第43。
