世界捐赠指数排名:中国大陆倒数第二

Which country has the most generous people in the world? A poll of 153 countries ranked global philanthropy in three categories: individual donations, volunteer time, and the number of people willing to help a stranger. Gallup’s 2010 World Giving Index Report was released Wednesday.

哪个国家的国民最慷慨？一项按个人捐赠、做志愿者的时间和愿意帮助陌生人三项指标调查了全球153个国家，给他们的慈善情况排名。盖洛普民意调查周三公布了《2010世界捐助指数报告》。

The US tied with Switzerland for the fifth place. In the US，60 percent have donated to organizations, 39 percent once were volunteers at organizations and 65 percent are willing to help a stranger.

美国与瑞士并列第五。在美国，向机构捐赠的人占60%，在机构当过志愿者的人有39%，愿意帮助陌生人的人为65%。

Ireland and Canada were tied for the third place. Ireland is one of the many nations where women are more likely to help a stranger than men. Canadians' higher rank than Americans is based largely on their giving more money to charities. Canada has more government-led charity campaigns than the US.

爱尔兰和加拿大并列第三。在爱尔兰，很多国家，女性都比男性更倾向于帮助陌生人，爱尔兰是其中之一。加拿大人排在美国前面的主要原因在于，他们向慈善事业捐的钱比较多。在加拿大，由政府领导的慈善事业也要比美国多。

New Zealand and Australia tied for first place with WGI scores of 57 percent. The WGI report stated that New Zealand and Australia have a history of emphasizing the importance of donating to those less fortunate. In both countries, philanthropy is strongly supported by the government.

新西兰和澳大利亚捐助指数达到57%。捐助指数报告称，这两个国家历来都重视为那些幸运的人给予捐助，慈善事业也得到政府的大力支持。

China ranked near the bottom, barely higher than last-place Madagascar.
　 中国差一点垫底，只排在倒数第一马达加斯加前面。

Overall, the Gallup poll noted three trends: that helping complete strangers is the leading way the world gives, the happiest countries donate more than the wealthiest, and older people donate more.

整体来说，盖洛普这项民意测试得出三种趋势：帮助陌生人是世界捐献的主要形式；最快乐的国家比最富有的国家捐助的多；年纪长的人捐献得多。
