One of three Swiss cities to make Mercer's list, Geneva offers many luxurious, well-crafted goods, as well as many everyday ones -- almost all of which will cost Americans handsomely.
美世榜单上的另一个瑞士城市是日内瓦。这里有许多奢侈品,精美的手工艺品,也有很多日常用品,这些都能让美国人大放血。


Part of the reason is an unfavorable exchange rate. The Swiss franc is more robust than the U.S. dollar. Tickets to the movies will cost an average of $18.50 apiece and a hamburger meal at a fast food joint will put you back about $12.50, according to Mercer.
其中一个原因是汇率不划算。瑞士法郎比美元更加强劲。根据美世咨询的数据,一张电影票平均18.5美元,快餐厅的汉堡餐大约12.5美元。
