It's no surprise that there is a vast global divide in life expectancy, with those living in more developed countries far more likely to live into their 70's and 80's than those from less-developed countries. The divide is so considerable that the predicted life span of those at the top of the life expectancy table is almost double that of those at the bottom. But which nations can expect their people to live the longest?
人的平均寿命长度存在着全球性鸿沟，这一点也不奇怪。居住在发达国家的人比居住在发展中国家的人更容易活到70岁或80岁，位于寿命表顶端人的预期寿命是位于底端人的2倍，这样的落差是十分巨大的。但是，有哪个国家能断言本国人民拥有最长的寿命呢？

10.Australia
10.澳大利亚

You don't have to look far to understand why Aussies can expect a lengthy existence of up to 81.91 years. Most residents live a laid-back, stress-free life, and consume a healthy, balanced diet. The healthcare system in Australia is also of a high standard, and the population is well educated about the importance of health.
你不必深究澳大利亚人能有平均81.91年寿命长度的原因。大多数澳大利亚人有着悠闲无压力的生活方式，健康均衡的饮食习惯，医疗保障制度在澳大利亚成熟完备，所有人深知健康的重要。
Females born in Australia are predicted to live 84.35 years, while males can expect a life span of 79.4 years. But it isn't all good news for the Aussies, as their life expectancy could plummet in the coming years, due to a steep rise in obesity rates among adults. Hey, nothing lasts forever, even long life.
澳大利亚的女性平均寿命长度为84.35年，男性则为79.4年。但现如今澳大利亚出现了新问题，由于成年人中肥胖率急剧上升，人们的平均寿命在未来几年会出现暴跌的状况。因此，没有什么是一成不变的，即使是长寿。

9.Guernsey
9.根西岛

Guernsey, a small island in the English Channel, inhabits just over 65,000 residents. The island is a British overseas territory, but boasts a far higher life expectancy than mainland Britain. The overall life expectancy for the people of Guernsey is 82.32, in comparison to the 80.1 years of mainland Brits.
根西岛，位于英吉利海峡面积不大的群岛，却居住着65000多的人口。这片群岛远离英国本土，但是人的平均寿命却比居住在本土的人长。与本土平均寿命80.1年相比，根西岛人的寿命长度是82.32年。
Like most entries on this list, the island of Guernsey is very wealthy, which perhaps explains the high life expectancy. Most inhabitants can afford to live a high-quality lifestyle, with lots of residents originally from rich countries such as the UK and France. The island also has very few dangerous manual jobs, and has an excellent healthcare system.
同本文涉及的其他地区一样，根西岛物资丰富，人们生活富裕，这也许能解释其平均寿命长的原因。居住在岛上的人能担负起高质量的生活需求，因为他们中有从发达国家如英国和法国移民来的人。根西岛有体力型的工作，危险系数不高，也有着高水平的医疗保障制度。

8.Switzerland
8.瑞士

Switzerland, with an overall life expectancy of 82.28 years, has a reputation for being one of the most peaceful nations on earth, with very little conflict and a stable economy and government. Switzerland also has one of the highest GDP per capita rates in the world. The Swiss are known for having very high standards in all public sectors; including health and education, and the people of Switzerland generally live a high quality lifestyle, consuming a healthy and balanced diet. Swiss women are expected to live an average of 6 years longer than their male counterparts, by the way. Swiss dudes clearly aren't consuming enough of their country's delicious chocolate.
瑞士人的总体预期寿命是82.28岁，因为瑞士很少与其他国家发生冲突，加之其有着稳定的经济与政府，因此其有世界上最和平的国家的美称，它还是人均GDP率最高的国家之一。瑞士人在公共部门，包括医疗教育等部门有着很高的标准，因此瑞士人的生活质量都非常高，他们有着健康和均衡的生活方式，瑞士女人的平均预期寿命比男人长六岁，顺便提一下，瑞士男人并没有消耗太多美味的国产巧克力噢。

7.Andorra
7.安道尔共和国

After a huge boom in tourist numbers, Andorra has been transformed from one of the poorest countries in Europe into one of the richest in the world. It hosts vast mountains and stunning landscapes, but also a population who firmly believe in living a natural, peaceful, healthy life. It is common for people in their 70's and 80's to exercise daily, and the population is well educated about the importance of having a healthy diet. There is also virtually no violence, and Andorra has been labeled as one of the safest places on Earth. As a result of their lifestyle, Andorrans can expect to live into their 80's and beyond. At birth, females are expected to live to around 85, while males have a life expectancy of just over 80. The overall figure for Andorra's life expectancy is 82.58 years, placing it 3rd in the whole of Europe, despite its puny size.
在旅游人数激增后，安道尔共和国从欧洲最贫穷的国家之一变成了世界上最富裕的国家之一，安道尔境内山岭纵横，景色宜人，安道尔人都坚信他们过着自然，祥和，健康的生活，安道尔人民七八十岁还坚持锻炼，这一现象并不奇怪，他们都知道有一个健康生活方式的重要性。因为有着健康的生活方式，所以安道尔人民预期寿命到达80岁甚至80岁以上。出生时，女性的预期寿命是85岁左右，然而男性的预期寿命是80多一点，安道尔人民的总体预期寿命是82.58岁，尽管国家很小，但这并不影响其成为欧洲人口寿命第三长的国家。

6.Hong Kong
6.香港

Hong Kong, a Special Administrative Region of China, makes it onto the list with an overall life expectancy of 82.2 years. This figure is considerably higher than that of China itself, which has an overall expectancy of just 75. Males from Hong Kong have a life expectancy of 79.3 years, while females can expect to live to 85.
香港，中国特别行政区之一，能够让香港榜上有名的是它总体上的平均寿命可达82.2岁。这个数量很大程度上超过了中国本身，因为中国的平均寿命只有75岁。香港的男性平均寿命为79.3岁，而女性却可达85岁。
Hong Kong is one of the wealthiest cities in Asia, and occupies some of the richest people in the world. It also has a booming economy and very low tax rates, meaning its residents have more money to spend on healthcare and a healthy diet, contributing to a longer life span.
香港是亚洲最富有的城市之一，并且拥有着世界上一些最为富裕的人。此外，它还有着繁荣的经济和极低的税率，这就意味着居民们可以拥有更多的钱投资在保健和健康的饮食上，为更长的生命跨度做贡献。
