2019年全球生活成本最高的城市是哪個(gè)?香港、巴黎、新加坡三個(gè)城市并列第一。同樣“很貴”的城市還有蘇黎世、日內(nèi)瓦、大阪、首爾等。委內(nèi)瑞拉首都加拉加斯被評(píng)為生活成本最低的城市。

Paris has come top of a ranking of the world's most expensive cities, alongside Hong Kong and Singapore.

在全球最貴城市排行榜上，巴黎和香港、新加坡并列第一。

It's the first time three cities have shared the top spot in the 30-year history of the annual Economist Intelligence Unit survey, which compares prices in 133 cities globally.

這是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人智庫開展這項(xiàng)年度調(diào)查30年來首次出現(xiàn)三座城市并列居首的情況。該調(diào)查比較了全球133個(gè)城市的物價(jià)。

The French capital - which was ranked second most expensive last year - is the only eurozone city in the top ten.

去年巴黎在全球最貴城市排行榜上位居第二，是前十名中唯一一個(gè)歐元區(qū)城市。

The survey compares the cost of common items, such as bread, in 133 cities.

這項(xiàng)調(diào)查比較了面包等普通物品在133個(gè)城市中的價(jià)格。

It then tracks whether prices have gone up or down by comparing them to the cost of living in New York, which is used as a benchmark.

該調(diào)查以紐約的生活成本為基準(zhǔn)來追蹤各城市物價(jià)的漲跌。

Report author Roxana Slavcheva said Paris had been among the top ten most expensive cities since 2003 and was "extremely expensive" to live in.

調(diào)查報(bào)告的作者羅克珊娜·斯拉夫車瓦稱，自2003年以來，巴黎一直是物價(jià)最高的十個(gè)城市之一，在巴黎生活“非常貴”。

"Only alcohol, transport and tobacco offer value for money compared with other European cities," she said.

她說：“相比其他歐洲城市，巴黎只有酒、交通和煙草物有所值。”

The average cost of a woman's haircut, for example, costs $119.04 in Paris, compared to $73.97 in Zurich and $53.46 in Japanese city Osaka.

舉個(gè)例子，在巴黎，女性剪一次頭發(fā)平均消費(fèi)是119.04美元(約800元人民幣)，相比之下，蘇黎世的女性理發(fā)平均消費(fèi)是73.97美元，日本大阪是53.46美元。

"European cities tend to have the highest costs in the household, personal care, recreation and entertainment categories-with Paris being a good representative in these categories—perhaps reflecting a greater premium on discretionary spending," Ms Slavcheva said.

斯拉夫車瓦說：“歐洲城市的家庭支出、個(gè)人護(hù)理、休閑娛樂方面的物價(jià)是全球最高的，巴黎就是一個(gè)突出的代表，也許是可自由支配開支較高產(chǎn)生的附加費(fèi)。”

Inflation and volatile currency fluctuations helped drive changes in this year's ranking, with places like Argentina, Brazil, Turkey and Venezuela all seeing a sharp fall in their cost of living ranking.

通貨膨脹和匯率波動(dòng)也推動(dòng)了今年排行的變化，阿根廷、巴西、土耳其和委內(nèi)瑞拉等國家在最貴城市排行榜上的名次都大幅下滑。

Caracas in Venezuela, where inflation neared 1,000,000% last year forcing the government to launch a new currency, was ranked the least expensive city in this year's survey.

委內(nèi)瑞拉首都加拉加斯去年通脹率接近1000000%，迫使政府發(fā)行了新貨幣，因此在今年的榜單墊底，成為“最便宜城市”。

The price of a cup of coffee in the capital Caracas doubled to 400 bolivars ($0.62) in the space of just a week last December, according to Bloomberg.

據(jù)彭博社報(bào)道，去年12月，加拉加斯一杯咖啡的價(jià)格在一周時(shí)間內(nèi)就上漲了一倍，達(dá)到400博利瓦(4元人民幣)。

Damascus in Syria was ranked the world's second cheapest city.

敘利亞的大馬士革是全球第二便宜的城市。

The Economist Intelligence Unit said a "growing number of locations" were becoming cheaper due to the impact of political or economic disruption.

經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人智庫稱，受政治或經(jīng)濟(jì)動(dòng)蕩的影響，越來越多國家的物價(jià)在降低。
