2011-07-11来源:CCTV9

Monday marks World Population Day, as the UN Population Fund says the world's population may reach 7 billion by the end of October.
星期一是世界人口日,联合国人口基金会表示,到10月份,世界人口可能达70亿。

This year's event will serve as a call to governments, organizations and communities to understand population issues worldwide and spearhead action. The UN Population Fund estimates that people's average age around the world has been raised by more than 20 years.
今年的人口日,将作为一个让各国政府、组织和社会团体了解全球人口问题,并带头采取行动的号召。联合国人口基金会预计,世界人口平均寿命增加了20年以上。

The world now sees a population increase of nearly 80 million every year, most of which comes from under-developed countries. As a result, issues such as the gap between rich and poor, food safety and resource shortages are becoming more challenging.
现在,世界人口数量每年增长将近8000万,大多数是来自不发达国家。因此,像贫富差距、食品安全和资源短缺等问题变得更具挑战性。
