They Say Ireland’s Best
Ireland is the best place in the world to live for 2005,according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine last week.
The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.
The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes,heath,climate,political stability,unemployment,job security,gender equality as well as what the magazine calls “freedom,family and community life”.
Despite the bad weather,troubled health service,traffic congestion,gender inequality,and the high cost of living,Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.
That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland,which managed 8.07.Zimbabwe,troubled by political insecurity and hunger,is rated the gloomiest,picking up only 3.89 points.
“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,” the report said,“some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.”
“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old,such as stable family and community life”.
The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do,and that its findings would have their critics.
No.2 on the list is Switzerland.The other nations in the top 10 are Norway,Luxembourg,Sweden,Australia,Iceland,Italy,Denmark and Spain.
The UK is positioned at No.29,a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorede in official statistics.The US ,which has the second highest per capita GDP after Luxembourg,took the 13th place in the survey.China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.

他们认为爱尔兰是最好的.（这句英语有语法错误,best前必须加the的）
根据上周《英国经济学家杂志》的生活质量排名,2005年爱尔兰是世界上最适合居住的地方.
这项旨在在世界范围内对快乐水平做出的对比是基于一个基本原则：财富不是衡量人民福利水平和满意度的唯一指标.
这份包含111个国家的目录收集了收入、健康、气候、政治稳定、失业、就业保障、性别比例以及杂志上称为“自由、家庭和社区生活”等多项数据.
尽管有糟糕的天气、不完善的健康服务、交通拥挤、性别歧视以及生活消费过高等不足,爱尔兰还是获得了8.33分总分为10分.
这些将爱尔兰远远优于得到8.07分排在第二位的瑞士,瑞士在政治稳定性、饥饿方面成绩糟糕,仅得到了3.89分.
报告说“尽管不断增加的收入和多样的个人选择都是很有价值的,但某些与现代化相关的因素还是造成负面影响,比如传统公共机构的解散、家庭资产缩水.”
“爱尔兰的当选得益于它成功地将人们对现状的满意与对将来的憧憬结合了起来,类似稳定的家庭和社区性生活”
该杂志承认衡量生活质量不是一件简单的工作,他们的结论也可能会招来批评.
第二位的是瑞士.排名前10的其他国家有：挪威、卢森堡、瑞典、澳大利亚、冰岛、意大利、丹麦以及西班牙.
英国排名29位,如此低的排名主要是官方统计数据所显示出的由于社会和家庭的衰退.美国尽管拥有人均GDP全球第二的城市（卢森堡第一）也只取得了13的排名.在该调查中,中国排在了60位之后.
