全球爆吐槽:宜居城市=无聊城市

Melbourne: So lovely. So... livable.
墨尔本：如此怡人。如此……宜居。

Every year, the Economist Intelligence Unit releases a list of 140 cities and ranks them in terms of their 'livability.' For the third year running, Melbourne has topped the list, edging out Vienna and Vancouver. In fact, there was so little change in this year's rankings that only 13 of all the surveyed cities changed their scores over the past six months, while the rankings of the top 10 cities remained exactly the same as last year.
每年，经济学人智库(Economist Intelligence Unit)都会发布一份包含140个城市的榜单，按照“宜居度”对其进行排名。墨尔本连续第三年夺冠，排在其后的是维也纳和温哥华。实际上，今年的榜单与此前几乎没有什么变化，受调查的全部城市中只有13座城市过去六个月的得分出现了变化，而排在前10位的城市排名与去年一模一样。

Using both qualitative and quantitative measures, the rankings rate 'relative comfort' for more than 30 factors across five categories: stability, healthcare, education, infrastructure, and culture and environment. The final scores are calculated as a percentage ranging from 1 ('intolerable') to a perfect score of 100 ('ideal').
使用定性及定量分析方法，该排行榜对五大类中的30多个因素进行了“相对舒适度”评估。这五大类是：稳定性、医疗、教育、基础设施、文化和环境。最终得分从1（“无法忍受”）到满分100（“理想城市”）。

Tellingly, in addition to being ranked in relation to other cities on the list, they're also ranked relative to New York - a city that everyone, apparently, has an opinion on.
很明显，从榜单上，既可以看出一座城市相对于其他城市的排名，也可以看出相对于纽约的排名。纽约这座城市貌似每个人都对其有着自己的看法。
