澳大利亚变得越来越"亚洲"

'We're in the midst of a huge mining boom and we have many young people come here to study to go to university,' said Andrew Henderson, executive director of the ABS. 'These [factors] are giving us a lot more exposure in Asia.'
澳大利亚统计局执行董事亨德森(Andrew Henderson)说，我们正处于矿业的巨大繁荣期，有很多年轻人到澳洲来上大学。这些因素令亚裔移民数量增加。

Australia's population is becoming more Asian in origin at a time when its economy has grown dependent on countries like China. But the country, which maintains strict immigration regulations, still struggles to attract enough workers for its mining industry, although states rich in resources showed the fastest rates of population growth in the census.
在眼下澳大利亚经济越来越依赖中国这样的国家的时候，从来源看其人口构成正越来越"亚洲化"。尽管此次人口普查结果显示资源丰富的州也是人口增速最快的地区，但由于澳大利亚仍保持着严格的移民制度，它仍未能吸引到足够多的工人到其采矿业工作。

Exploding population growth in some areas has also put growing pressure on housing, driving a sharp rise in rents relative to average incomes. The overall national median weekly income rose 24% to 577 Australian dollars (US$586) in 2011, up from A$466 in 2006, while the median household weekly rent rose by almost half to A$285 from A$191, the data showed. In Western Australia the trend was even more pronounced: Weekly rent in the state surged by more than three-quarters to A$300 a week-A$320 in its capital, Perth-while weekly incomes in the state rose around a third to A$662.
某些地区爆炸式的人口增长也对住房构成越来越大的压力，令相对于平均收入的房租水平大幅上升。数据表明，2011年澳大利亚全国周薪中值整体水平上升24%至577澳元（约合586美元），高于2006年466澳元的水平。而周房租中值则上升了近50%，从191澳元涨至285澳元。在西澳大利亚这一趋势更为明显：该州周房租涨幅超过四分之三至300澳元，该州首府珀斯的周房租甚至高达320澳元，而该州周薪涨幅只有大约三分之一，至662澳元。

The largest decreases in migrant populations were among Greeks and Italians, which fell by 33,300 and 16,500 respectively, as low migration levels failed to replenish existing communities, many of whom originally arrived following the devastation wreaked across Europe in World War II.
移民人口中数量减少最多的两个群体是希腊人和意大利人，这两大移民群体各自减少了3.33万和1.65万人。较低的移民数量无法维持其现有社区的人口规模。很多欧洲移民最初是在二战给欧洲造成重大破坏之后到澳洲来的。
