The city of Hangzhou again tops a list of the 10 'happiest cities' in China, published by Oriental Outlook magazine, which is affiliated with China's state-run Xinhua news agency.
在新华社《望东方周刊》发布的中国“最具幸福感城市”中，杭州再度居首。
The magazine claims nearly 30 million people participated in the survey via questionnaires in newspapers or over the Internet or mobile phones. There was also an independent survey involving a total of 600,000 people from 100 Chinese cities. The evaluation looked at factors such as pace of life, 'human touch,' opportunities to make money, convenience, natural environment, culture and entertainment options, safety as well as the gap between rich and poor.
该杂志称，全国各地累计近3,000万人参与报纸、手机短信和网络问卷调查。同时在１００个地级和县级候选城市中进行了覆盖６０多万人的独立入户调查。评判标准包括生活节奏、人情味、赚钱机会、生活便利、自然环境、文明程度、文化娱乐、治安状况、贫富分化等等。
Hangzhou, which dates back more than 2,000 years, has topped the list all three years it has been published. The former Song Dynasty capital, and now the capital of China's Zhejiang Province, has long been known for its beautiful scenery, its fine silk and as the birthplace of Longjing tea. But what makes it an attractive place to live also seems to have a lot to do with its slower pace of life. .
这项评选今年已是第三年进行，有着2,000多年历史的杭州均表现优异。杭州以前是宋朝都城，现为中国浙江省省会，以秀丽风光、精美的丝绸以及龙井茶闻名。 不过杭州之所以成为宜居之地似乎与它较慢的生活节奏大有关系。
Cao Jingxing, a well-known Chinese commentator and TV host, said Hangzhou has a 'peace that the other big cities like Shanghai can't offer.' Plus, Hangzhou's fast economic development has helped add wealth: The city's per-capita GDP was above $10,000 by the end of 2008, according to government figures.
中国著名评论员、电视主持人曹景行说，杭州有一种上海等大城市所不具备的安宁。此外，杭州经济迅速发展有助于财富的积累：政府数据显示，截止2008年底，杭州市人均国内生产总值(GDP)已经超过1万美元。
