If the world were a Village of 100 People
如果世界是个一百人的村落
If we could shrink the earth 8217;s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the exsting human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
如果我们把全世界的人口按照现有压缩为一个100人的村子,情况就会如同以下:
There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
10 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans
这个村子里有:
57人是亚洲人
21人是欧洲人
14人来自西半球的南、北美洲
8人是非洲人
52 would be female
48 would be male
52人是女性
48人是男性
70 would be non-while
30 would be white
70人是有色人种
30人是白人
70 would be non-christian
30 would be Christian
70人是非基督教徒
30人是基督徒
89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual
89人是异性恋者
11人是同性恋者
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world 8217;s wealth
and all 6 would be from the United States.
6人拥有全世界59%的财富
而且这6人全是美国人
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
80人的居住环境不达标准
70人是文盲
50人苦于营养不良
1人濒临死亡边缘;1人正要出生
1(yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer
1人(是的,只有1人)会接受大学教育
1人拥有电脑
When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
透过这个压缩图来放眼我们的世界,就会明晓接纳他人、谅解以及教育是何等重要。
The following is also something to ponder 8230;
再从以下角度来想想看……
If you woke pup this morning with more health than illness 8230;you are more blessed than the illion who will not survive this week.
如果你早上醒来的时候健康无恙……那么,比起活不过这一周的百万人来说,你真是幸运多了。
