哪個國家的數字生活質量最好?

TECHNOLOGY AFFECTS nearly every aspect of daily life, providing convenience and efficiency in areas such as health care, education and communication. Yet not all nations are performing well in the digital space, according to a recent study. The top five countries ranked by their digital quality of life come from different parts of the world, and Australia takes the podium.

科技幾乎影響到日常生活的方方面面，在醫(yī)療、教育和通訊等領域提供了便利和效率。然而，根據最近的一項研究，并非所有國家都在數字領域表現良好。根據數字生活質量排名前五的國家來自世界各地，澳大利亞位居榜首。

Australia ranked highest in the 2019 Digital Quality of Life index, a study produced by Surfshark, a virtual private network based in the British Virgin Islands. The country registered a score of 0.7992 on of a scale of zero to one. Australia was followed by France with a near identical score, and Singapore, at 0.78. None of the countries examined crossed the threshold of 0.8, reflecting room for improvement in various digital areas globally, according to the study's authors.

澳大利亞在2019年“數字生活質量指數”(Digital Quality of Life Index)中排名最高，該指數是由總部位于英屬維爾京群島的虛擬私人網絡“沖浪鯊魚”(Surfshark)進行的一項研究。這個國家在0到1的評分中獲得了0.7992分。緊隨其后的是幾乎相同的法國和新加坡，得分為0.78。研究報告的作者表示，所有接受調查的國家都沒有超過0.8的限制，這反映出全球各個數字領域還有改進的空間。

The Surfshark research is based on open-source information from the databases of multiple sources, including the United Nations, the World Bank, Freedom House and the International Communications Union, The report examined a total population of more than 5.5 billion people in 65 countries and used factored in criteria that included internet connectivity speed, affordability, cybersecurity, the availability of data protection laws, e-government services and others.

“沖浪鯊魚”研究是基于多來源數據庫的開元信息,包括聯合國、世界銀行、自由之家、國際通信聯盟，該報告調查了65個國家的55億多人口，并將其納入標準，包括互聯網連接速度、支付能力、網絡安全、數據保護法的可用性、電子政府服務等。

In their assessment of Australia, the study's authors credit the affordability of the mobile internet in the country, comparatively high mobile internet speeds and what they label a "solid level of cybersecurity in the country."

在對澳大利亞的評估中，該研究的作者贊揚了該國移動互聯網的支付能力，相對較高的移動互聯網速度，以及他們所稱的“該國堅實的網絡安全水平”。

The top 10 ranking countries：

排名前10位的國家包括：

Included Norway, Japan, Canada, Denmark, South Korea, Italy, and Sweden. The United States ranked No. 11, scoring high in cybersecurity, and e-government availability.

挪威、日本、加拿大、丹麥、韓國、意大利和瑞典。美國排名第11位，在網路安全和電子政府可用性方面得分很高。

Finishing last among the countries studied was Algeria, followed by Ethiopia, Iraq, Egypt and Pakistan. In their remarks about Algeria, the study's authors note the low mobile and broadband internet speeds, low internet affordability, a poor development of electronic government services and the second-lowest score in cybersecurity, barely finishing better than Nepal.

在所研究的國家中排在最后的是阿爾及利亞，緊隨其后的是埃塞俄比亞、伊拉克、埃及和巴基斯坦。在對阿爾及利亞的評論中，該研究的作者指出，該國移動和寬帶互聯網速度較低，互聯網支付能力較低，電子政務服務發(fā)展不佳，網絡安全得分位居第二，僅略高于尼泊爾。
