世界最安全城市排名，日本竟是榜首！

Tokyo was named the world’s safest city on Thursday by the Economist Intelligence Unit, in an index ranking cities’ ability to handle everything from climate disasters to cyber attacks.

英國經(jīng)濟學(xué)人智庫8月29日公布世界最安全城市排名，日本東京在榜單中居首。該指數(shù)對各城市應(yīng)對從氣候災(zāi)難到網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊等各項事務(wù)的能力進行了排名。

Singapore took second place after Japan’s capital while another Japanese metropolis, Osaka, came third - the same top three as the two previous Safe Cities Indexes of 2015 and 2017.

新加坡僅次于東京，位居第二，另一個日本大都市大阪排名第三，2015年和2017年的安全城市指數(shù)排行榜前三名也是這三個城市。

This year the index of 60 cities aimed to capture the concept of “urban resilience”, which is the ability of cities to absorb and bounce back from shocks, researchers said.

研究人員表示，今年60個城市的安全指數(shù)排名旨在體現(xiàn)“城市適應(yīng)力”這一概念，即城市承受沖擊并恢復(fù)的能力。

This concept has increasingly steered urban safety planning during the last decade, as policymakers worry about the impacts of climate change, including heat stress and flooding.

在過去十年里，由于決策者擔心熱浪和洪水等氣候變化的影響，“城市適應(yīng)力”在指導(dǎo)城市安全規(guī)劃方面起著越來越大的作用。

The index assessed four types of safety: digital, infrastructure, health and personal security.

該指數(shù)評估了四類安全：數(shù)字安全、基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施安全、醫(yī)療保健和個人安全。

Asia-Pacific dominated the top 10, as in previous years, with six cities, including Australia’s Sydney in fifth place, South Korea’s Seoul in eighth and Australia’s Melbourne in 10th.

與前幾年一樣，亞太地區(qū)的城市在前十名中占多數(shù)，有六座城市上榜，包括澳大利亞悉尼(第五)、韓國首爾(第八)和澳大利亞墨爾本(第十)。

Two European and two North American cities made it into the top 10, with the Dutch capital Amsterdam in fourth place while Denmark’s Copenhagen came eighth. Canada’s Toronto came sixth, and the US capital, Washington D.C., seventh.

歐洲和北美各有兩座城市進入前十名。荷蘭首都阿姆斯特丹位居第四、丹麥哥本哈根位居第八、加拿大多倫多位居第六、美國華盛頓位居第七。

The safest cities scored highly on access to high-quality healthcare, dedicated cyber-security teams, community-based police patrols and good disaster planning, researchers said.

研究人員說，最安全的城市在獲得高質(zhì)量的醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生服務(wù)、專門的網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全團隊、社區(qū)警察巡邏和良好的災(zāi)害應(yīng)對規(guī)劃方面得分很高。

“The research highlights how different types of safety are thoroughly intertwined,” said Naka Kondo, the report’s Tokyo-based editor.

該報告駐東京編輯紺戶中說：“這項研究凸顯了不同類型的安全問題是如何完全交織在一起的。”

While European cities performed well in the area of health, they struggled with digital security, in terms of citizens’ ability to freely use the internet and other digital channels without fear of privacy violations or identity theft.

盡管歐洲城市在健康安全領(lǐng)域表現(xiàn)良好，但在數(shù)字安全方面得分不高，數(shù)字安全指的是公民自由使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和其他數(shù)字渠道而不擔心隱私侵犯或身份盜竊。

Top-ranking cities for digital security scored high on citizen awareness of digital threats and dedicated cyber-security teams, leading to low levels of infection by computer viruses and malware.

在公民對數(shù)字威脅的意識和專門的網(wǎng)絡(luò)安全團隊方面，排名靠前的城市數(shù)字安全得分較高，導(dǎo)致感染電腦病毒和被植入惡意軟件的幾率較低。

“London is the only European city in the top 10 in this category,” said Irene Mia, global editorial director of the Economist Intelligence Unit.

經(jīng)濟學(xué)人智庫全球編輯主任艾琳•米婭說：“倫敦是唯一一個躋身前十的歐洲城市。”

Nigeria’s Lagos, Venezuela’s Caracas, Myanmar’s Yangon, Pakistan’s Karachi and Bangladesh’s Dhaka were the world’s five least safe cities, according to the index.

尼日利亞拉各斯、委內(nèi)瑞拉加拉加斯、緬甸仰光、巴基斯坦卡拉奇和孟加拉國達卡被評為世界上最不安全的五個城市。
