西班牙的海岸線超3000英里(4828千米),擁有至少48個聯(lián)合國教科文組織世界遺產(chǎn)地。這個國家日前被宣布為全球最佳旅游目的地。
For the third year running, it slid in just above France in the Travel & Tourism Competitive Report by the World Economic Forum, the Swiss-based organization that annually gathers the global elite to discuss major issues.
西班牙已經(jīng)連續(xù)第三年在世界經(jīng)濟論壇的《旅游競爭力報告》中領先法國??偛吭谌鹗康氖澜缃?jīng)濟論壇每年都會將全球的精英人物聚集到一起來討論重大問題。
And with major travel draws such as Barcelona and its La Sagrada Família basilica, Madrid and its famous Prado art museum and the Costa del Sol with warm, inviting beaches, it's easy to see why Spain is the global favorite.
西班牙擁有巴塞羅那(圣家族大教堂)、馬德里(著名的普拉多美術館)和熱情誘人的太陽海岸等熱門旅游地,因此不難理解西班牙為什么會成為全球最受歡迎的旅游國家。
Germany's third place -- above the likes of Italy, Japan and the United States -- may surprise some. But the destinations are ranked by "travel readiness" at what the WEF calls a "tipping point" for the travel industry. The 90-strong criteria included infrastructure, safety and sustainable travel initiatives. Culture, accommodation and value for money were also taken into account.
德國排名第三,領先于意大利、日本和美國等國家和地區(qū),這也許會令某些人感到意外。世界經(jīng)濟論壇是依照旅游行業(yè)“臨界點”的“旅游接待能力”來排名的,有包括基礎設施、安全和可持續(xù)旅游策略等多達90條評判標準。文化、住宿和性價比也被考慮在內(nèi)。
Japan and the United States rounded out the top five. Yemen came bottom, at number 140.

To create the biennial table, the WEF looked at four areas of tourism: natural and cultural resources, infrastructure, national travel and tourism policy, and the "enabling environment" (from safety and hygiene to the labor market).
為了推出這個兩年一度的排行榜,世界經(jīng)濟論壇考察了旅游的四個方面:自然和文化資源、基礎建設、國內(nèi)旅游政策和“環(huán)境可適應性”(從安全衛(wèi)生條件到勞動力市場)。
Austria -- whose capital, Vienna, was named the "most livable city in the world" this month -- was ranked 11 overall. It did, however, top the board for "health and hygiene."
奧地利——首都維也納本月剛被評為“世界最宜居城市”——總體排名第11,但是在“健康和衛(wèi)生”一項中排名居首。
Looking at security, Finland, Iceland and Oman were judged the safest countries. El Salvador, Nigeria and Yemen were ranked the least safe.
在安全方面,芬蘭、冰島和阿曼被評為最安全國家。薩爾瓦多、尼日利亞和也門被評為最不安全的國家。
The US came top in one pillar: that of the "human resources and labor market."
美國在“人力資源和勞動力市場”這一項中排名居首。
Canada was ranked top for air transport infrastructure, and Mexico for natural resources.
