“全球最聰明國家與地區(qū)榜”發(fā)布 中國位列第三

Collectively, we humans are a pretty clever bunch. During our short time on this planet we’ve split the atom, traveled to space, built the limited slip differential and invented an umbrella for dogs. Yep, all clever stuff.

從整體來看，我們?nèi)祟愐呀?jīng)夠聰明了。人類在地球上誕生發(fā)展并不算長久的歷史進(jìn)程中，我們分裂了原子、去太空旅行、建造了限滑差速器、還發(fā)明了狗狗專用雨傘。是的，這都需要智慧。

But (most of) these inventions, discoveries and great leaps forward are collective efforts rather than the inspired genius and toil of one lonely, dedicated man or woman. Which begs the question (sort of), of which is the cleverest nation in the world?

但大部分發(fā)明創(chuàng)造以及科學(xué)進(jìn)步都是集體智慧的結(jié)晶，而并非某個(gè)堅(jiān)忍不拔的人的天分和辛勤勞作的產(chǎn)物。那么問題來了，哪個(gè)國家或地區(qū)的人們最聰明呢?

Which people have contributed the most to our advancement as a species? Which does best at school, and which has the highest IQ? All important contributing factors when deciding where to visit next, no doubt. Luckily though, Vouchercloud has done the legwork for you and diligently researched and ranked the top 25 countries in the world by intelligence.

哪個(gè)國家和地區(qū)的人們對人類的整體發(fā)展貢獻(xiàn)最大呢?哪個(gè)國家和地區(qū)的學(xué)生成績最好?國民智商最高?這無疑都是決定下次到訪哪里的重要影響因素。幸運(yùn)的是，Vouchercloud網(wǎng)站已經(jīng)為您進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)調(diào)查，并排出了全球25個(gè)最聰明國家和地區(qū)榜單。

It quantifies intelligence to include the number of Nobel Prizes each nation has won to represent historic intelligence, the current average IQ and ‘education attainment’ to represent the potential intelligence of the next generation.

網(wǎng)站將“聰明”量化為每個(gè)國家和地區(qū)的諾貝爾得獎(jiǎng)?wù)呷藬?shù)(代表過去的智力)、目前國民的平均智商分?jǐn)?shù)、以及“教育素養(yǎng)”(代表未來一代的智力)。

Asia and Europe dominate the list, with Japan taking the top spot thanks to its high placing across all three metrics where it came fifth overall in the school test ranking and sixth overall in both Nobel prizes and current IQ.

亞洲和歐洲在排行榜中占主導(dǎo)地位，日本排在榜單首位，這是因?yàn)樵搰谌?xiàng)排名中都很靠前，小學(xué)生成績排在第五、諾貝爾得獎(jiǎng)?wù)呷藬?shù)和目前的平均智商都排在第六。

The US comes in an impressive fourth, although its ranking is flattered greatly by its extraordinary dominance in the Nobel category where at 368 prizes, it has nearly treble the UK in second place. However, in the current IQ the US comes a lowly 28th and school ranking a middling 13th – neither of which bodes well for its future ranking.

美國排名也很靠前，位列第四，這主要得益于諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者人數(shù)全球第一，達(dá)368人，是第二名英國獲諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)人數(shù)的近3倍。但是美國目前的人均智商僅排第28位、學(xué)生成績排名中等，位列第13，這兩項(xiàng)排名對美國的未來而言可能不是個(gè)好兆頭。

And while Europe has an impressive five nations in the current top ten – Switzerland in second, Netherlands in fifth, Russia in sixth, Belgium in seventh and the UK in eighth – it’s Asia that points to the future. Coming in at 25th on the ranking is Singapore – its position greatly skewed by its lowly ranking of 73rd for Nobel prizes when it ranks first in both current IQ and education attainment.

綜合排名前十中，歐洲國家占了五個(gè)，分別是瑞士(第二位)、荷蘭(第五位)、俄羅斯(第六位)、比利時(shí)(第七位)和英國(第八位)。而未來大有希望的是亞洲的一些國家和地區(qū)。新加坡排在榜單第25位，該國諾貝爾獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)呷藬?shù)排在第73位，拉低了總排名，但目前的國民平均智商和教育素養(yǎng)兩項(xiàng)都排在第一。

Nobel prizes

諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)

The top 25 countries by Nobel Prize are, unsurprisingly, dominated by the Western world. Don’t expect that to stay the same over the coming years though, as the inexorable march of Asia’s intelligentsia rightly garners more and more awards.

不出所料的是，諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者最多的25個(gè)國家和地區(qū)主要來自西方。別以為今后還會如此，亞洲知識界的進(jìn)步勢不可擋，正獲得越來越多的諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)。

中國在該項(xiàng)中排名第21。

Current national IQ

目前的國民智商

You’ll have to scroll down to seventh to step out of Asia on this list, with Finland the first Western country to make its mark. Go Asia! While the US doesn’t even make the top 25 for national IQ, it’s perhaps surprising to see Mongolia storming into 12th spot with an average IQ bang on 100.

這一項(xiàng)排名的前六名均是亞洲國家和地區(qū)。芬蘭排在第七，是榜單中排名最高的西方國家。前進(jìn)吧，亞洲!美國甚至沒能躋身這一單項(xiàng)榜單的前25名，但人們會很意外地發(fā)現(xiàn)，蒙古國以平均智商100分的成績位居第12。

中國在該項(xiàng)中排名第2。

School achievement

小學(xué)生成績

No huge surprise given the IQ rankings, but Asia takes the top five spots for pupils achieving an advanced score at school. Russia takes the best of the rest medal in sixth spot while the US comes in at 13th. The UK is nowhere to be seen but if there’s one surprise on the list, it’s most likely Kazakhstan in ninth.

考慮到智商排名，學(xué)生成績的排名也就不讓人意外了。小學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)成績排行榜的前五名都是亞洲國家和地區(qū)。此外，俄羅斯排在第六，在其余國家和地區(qū)中表現(xiàn)最好，而美國排在第13。英國根本沒能上榜，但如果說榜單上有個(gè)國家讓人驚喜的話，那最可能是排在第九的哈薩克斯坦。

中國在該項(xiàng)中排名第7。
