5. Bangladesh, $2,085
5. 孟加拉国，人均国民收入2085美元
Bangladesh is a country of contradiction.
孟加拉国是一个充满矛盾的国家。
Despite being among the largest producers of Rice and Tea in the world
尽管是世界大米和茶叶的生产大国，
and one of the largest banking sectors in South East Asia,
也是东南亚最大的银行业之一，
the average income of its citizens is among the lowest in the world.
但是人均国民收入却是世界最低的几个国家之一。
This can partly be attributed to the past 40 years which have seen all manner of small scale,
这部分可能是因为这个国家过去四十年里都是各式各样小规模，
but economically debilitating rebellions.
但是会削弱经济的叛乱。
This is particularly ironic, as Bangladesh is the single biggest contributor to United Nations peacekeeping forces
讽刺的是，孟加拉国是联合国维和部队最大的组成部分，
and as of 2015 was rated as the most peaceful nation in Southeast Asia.
并且在2015年被评为东南亚最和平的国家。
4. North Korea, $1,800
4. 朝鲜，人均国民收入1800美元
This "Hermit Kingdom” is often seen as the poster child for poverty.
这个“隐士王国”经常被认为是贫穷的典范。
With the average citizen making less than $15 a week through normal economic channels,
正常经济渠道下的人均周收入少于15美元，
the black or grey markets are the primary sources of income for most.
对于大多数人来说，黑市和灰市是主要的收入来源。
This of course means that a vast number of citizens are subject to inconsistent paychecks as a result of government crackdowns
这当然意味着在政府的镇压下大量公民的工资与收入不一致，
and the inevitable need to pay bribes to continue to exist.
同时为了生存下去，贿赂也是无可避免的。
In defense of North Korea, they at least nominally have a public food distribution system
为了保卫朝鲜，他们至少名义上有一个公共食品分配系统，
that reportedly sustains 70% of the country when famines aren't present.
据报道这个系统在没闹饥荒的前提下能维持全国70%的人生存。
While exceedingly poor at present, it is thought that there is an abundance of metal resources.
尽管目前极其贫困，但人们认为朝鲜有丰富的金属资源。
With adequate infrastructure, it is estimated the value of these metals could be between $4 trillion to $6 trillion.
基础设施足够的话，这些金属的预估价值可能在四万亿到六万亿之间。
3. Myanmar, $1,777
3. 缅甸，人均国民收入1777美元
Myanmar has not had what anyone could call an easy past.
缅甸没有人们称之为“轻松的过去”，
Almost 200 years of occupation, war and civil unrest has followed this country (also called Burma) into the modern age,
被占领200年后，战争和国内骚乱也一直持续到这个国家（“Burma”是缅甸的别称）的现代时期，
along with a large list of human rights violations.
伴随着大量侵犯人权的行为。
Among these are common reports of forced child labor, human trafficking and genocidal acts by the government.
这些行为包括强迫童工劳动，贩卖人口以及政府实施的种族灭绝行为。
It comes as no surprise that this has greatly hindered the number of educated workers within the country.
这无疑会大大影响该国受教育工人的数量。
The economy likewise has been rough. Since the banning of Opium Poppies, many farmers have had no cash crop,
经济也同样不景气。自从明令禁止种植罂粟，许多农民失去了经济作物，
and the economy relies primarily on the exporting natural gas to neighboring countries.
经济主要依赖向邻国出口天然气。
2. Nepal, $1,500
2. 尼泊尔，人均国民收入1500美元
Even before the earthquake disaster of 2015,
即使在2015年地震灾难之前，
Nepal was already a place where health as well as poverty were major concerns.
尼泊尔就已经是一个主要关注健康和贫困的国家。
Over 40% of the population lives off less than $2 a day,
超过40%的人口每天生活费不足2美元，
and nearly one third of homes are without modern sanitation (such as toilets).
近三分之一的家庭没有现代卫生设备（例如厕所），
70% find employment in the agricultural sector,

1. Afghanistan, $1,100
1. 阿富汗，人均国民收入1100美元
After suffering decades of being a war-torn nation, it should come as no surprise that Afghanistan heads this list.
在经受长达十几年的战争蹂躏之后，阿富汗这个国家入选这个名单也就不足为怪了。
Like many on this list, a majority of Afghanistan's economy is based on agriculture,
就像这个名单上的许多国家，阿富汗的大部分经济也是基于农业，
even though only 6% of the nations land has proven usable.
即使阿富汗只有6%的土地被证明能耕作。
While animal husbandry used to also be a major economic factor,
畜牧业曾是一个主要经济因素，
up to 80% of domestically useful species were wiped out by incursions of Iranian and Pakistani refugees in the early 2000's.
21世纪初，伊朗和巴基斯坦难民的入侵使国内多达80%的有用物种被消灭了。

as the entire region is engaged yet again with a large terrorist threat that is sure to hinder growth and development.
因为整个地区再次面临巨大的恐怖主义威胁，这必将阻碍经济的增长和发展。
