世界城市之最 你都去過哪些？
全球最友好的城市是哪個(gè)?根據(jù)最新公布的排名，不是無拘無束的新奧爾良，不是時(shí)尚的柏林，也不是友善的斯德哥爾摩，而是禁止嚼口香糖、在地鐵上吃喝要挨重罰的新加坡。
The Asian city state pipped the Swedish capital to the top spot not for its stringent rules but rather its safe environment, efficient and ultramodern airport and willingness to host tourists.
這個(gè)亞洲城市國家打敗瑞典首都斯德哥爾摩并非因?yàn)槠鋰?yán)苛的法規(guī)，而是因?yàn)榘踩沫h(huán)境、高效和超現(xiàn)代的機(jī)場，以及熱情好客。
Third place went to Helsinki and fourth place to San Francisco.
排在第三、四名的分別是赫爾辛基和舊金山。
最擁擠城市：孟加拉，達(dá)卡
Dhaka has a population of 16,235,000, which works out at 114,300 per square mile. It's not on many travel itineraries, however, being a regular on the Economist Intelligence Unit's annual ranking of the world's "least liveable cities" (it came 2nd in 2014). Space is getting even tighter - it's also among the world's 20 fastest growing.
達(dá)卡有1623.5萬人口，折合每平方英里11.43萬人。達(dá)卡還是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人智庫發(fā)布的全球最不宜居城市榜單上的常客(2014年排在第2)，很少有游客前來。如今達(dá)卡越來越擁擠，也是全球20個(gè)發(fā)展最快的城市之一。
Second place goes to Hyderabad, Pakistan (106,800 per square mile), and third place to Vijayawada, India (80,700 per square mile).
排在第二名的是巴基斯坦的海德拉巴(每平方英里10.68萬人)。印度維杰亞瓦達(dá)排在第三(每平方英里8.07萬人)
It's a difficult one to pinpoint, as there are different ways of measuring. Sources suggest the largest "city proper" (ie. the single political jurisdiction which contains the historical city centre) is Chongqing, with 30.16m, the largest "urban area" is Tokyo, with 36.9m, while the largest "metropolitan area" is Guangzhou, with 44.3m.
因?yàn)楹饬繕?biāo)準(zhǔn)各異，所以很難說清人口最稠密的城市是哪個(gè)。有消息來源稱，最大的“市區(qū)”(有單獨(dú)的政治管轄權(quán)，還包含有歷史性的市中心)是重慶，人口達(dá)3016萬。最大的“城市區(qū)域”是東京，人口有3690萬，最大的“大都會(huì)區(qū)”是廣州，人口達(dá)4430萬。
By comparison, those figures for London are 8.8m, 9.8m and 13.9m.
比較來看，倫敦市按以上三個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)衡量，人口數(shù)量分別是880萬、980萬、和1390萬。
消費(fèi)最高的城市：新加坡
The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Worldwide Cost of Living Survey assessed more than 150 different purchases in 133 cities around the world to determine where budget travellers should go - and where they should avoid.
經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人智庫的全球生活成本調(diào)查評(píng)估了全球133個(gè)城市的150多次不同的購買情況，來確定窮游的“驢友”應(yīng)該去哪里，以及該避免去哪里。
The Far East and Western Europe dominate the upper end of the table. Singapore, which has topped the charts for four consecutive years, is followed by Hong Kong, while Zurich and two Japanese cities - Tokyo and Osaka - complete the top five. Seoul, Geneva, Paris and Copenhagen also featured in the top 10.
遠(yuǎn)東地區(qū)和西歐地區(qū)的城市占據(jù)了榜單前列。新加坡已經(jīng)連續(xù)四年高居榜首，位列其后的是中國香港、蘇黎世和日本東京、大阪。排在前10的還有首爾、日內(nèi)瓦、巴黎和哥本哈根。
Almaty pipped Lagos in Nigeria to the title of world’s cheapest city. India also looks a good bet for travellers on a shoestring, with Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai and New Delhi all among the bottom 10. After Almaty, Bucharest, Kiev and St Petersburg offer the lowest prices.
阿拉木圖擊敗尼日利亞的拉各斯成為全球花費(fèi)最低的城市。印度對(duì)囊中羞澀的游客來說也是不錯(cuò)的選擇，比如班加羅爾、金奈、孟買和新德里都位列全球城市消費(fèi)榜倒數(shù)10位。除了阿拉木圖，布加勒斯特、基輔和圣彼得堡的消費(fèi)水平都處于最低之列。
The highest settlement with a population above 50,000 is Cerro de Pasco, a mining centre in Peru that sits at 4,330 metres above sea level.
人口超過5萬的城市中，海拔最高的是秘魯塞羅德帕斯科。這里是秘魯?shù)牡V業(yè)中心，海拔4330米。
The highest capital is either Quito, Ecuador (2,850m) or La Paz, Bolivia (3,640m). The doubt lay in the fact that Bolivia's official capital is actually Sucre, which stands at 2,750 metres above sea level, but the country's seat of government is in La Paz.
海拔最高的首都是厄瓜多爾首都基多(海拔2850米)或是玻利維亞首都拉巴斯(3640米)。這里的不確定性在于玻利維亞官方首都其實(shí)是蘇克雷(2750米)，但政府實(shí)際所在地是拉巴斯。
The highest settlement of all is La Rinconada, also in Peru, at 5,100 metres. Europe's highest capital is Andorra la Vella, at 1,023m. The UK's highest city is Bradford, at 324m.
全球城市中海拔最高的是秘魯?shù)睦挚萍{達(dá)(5100米)。歐洲海拔最高的首都是安道爾首都安道爾城(1023米)。英國海拔最高的城市是布拉德福德(324米)。
海拔最低的城市：巴勒斯坦，杰利科
Remarkably, Jericho - as well as being the oldest - is also the lowest city on Earth, with an altitude of 258m below sea level. The nearby Dead Sea is the lowest exposed land on the planet, at 413m below sea level.
顯然，巴勒斯坦杰利科是全球海拔最低的城市(-258米)，也是最古老的城市。附近的死海是全球海拔最低的陸地，低于海平面413米。

根據(jù)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人智庫的年度排行，墨爾本是全球最宜居城市，總評(píng)分為97.5(滿分100)，維也納(97.4分)和溫哥華(97.3分)排在第2、3位，多倫多和卡爾加里緊隨其后。

根據(jù)經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人智庫的數(shù)據(jù)，全球最不宜居的城市是敘利亞大馬士革?？紤]到敘利亞近期的恐懼和艱難，也許沒人會(huì)否認(rèn)這個(gè)選擇。排在前五位的還有尼日利亞拉各斯、利比亞的黎波里、孟加拉國達(dá)卡、巴布亞新幾內(nèi)亞的摩爾斯比港。
Readers named Cape Town their favourite city in the last two Telegraph Travel Awards (more than 70,000 people voted in 2016). The results of the 2017 awards will be published in the coming weeks – will it hang on to the top spot?

That's according to The Safe Cities Index 2017, produced by The Economist Intelligence Unit. The Japanese capital, number one in the last Safe Cities Index, held onto the top spot with an overall score of 89.8. Of the four main categories, it came first for digital security, second for health security, fourth for personal security and 12th for infrastructure security.

Suzhou is the most rapidly expanding city (in terms of population) with at least five million residents, according to the United Nations 2010-2020 predicted growth rates. When the bar is lowered to include cities with a population above one million, Batam takes the biscuit.

“It occupies a strategic position along the Yangtze, serving as the start of most Three Gorges cruises, and also as the port for many cargo ships. While hot pot probably originated in northern China, its greatest iteration comes from Chongqing: you cook raw vegetables and meat in a bowl of fiery chilli-laden soup and it is delicious.”
“重慶在沿江流域的戰(zhàn)略位置很重要，是大多數(shù)三峽游輪的出發(fā)地，也是很多貨船的?？靠诎?。盡管火鍋源自中國北方，但最出名的還是在重慶：把生的蔬菜和肉扔在滾燙的辣湯里涮，非常美味。”
Pollution in Delhi hit staggering new heights last winter, with the city’s Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching 999. To provide a little context, the highest AQI in London is currently 88, and anything above 500 is considered “hazardous”.
