世界网络哪家强？TOP20排行韩国第1香港第9

 If the Internet is important to you, you may need to reconsider where you live based on the results of a new report from the International Telecommunication¹ Union, which has revealed² the countries with the best Internet connections in the world.

如果网络对你至关重要，那么看到国际电信联盟的最新报告结果时，你就要考虑去哪里移民了。报告结果中公布了世界上网络状况最好的国家排名。

According to the study, which took into account Internet speed and the percentage of people who have access to a connection, we all need to move to South Korea if we want to be better connected – it just topped the list for the second time in a row. Other developed countries, however, didn’t fare as well as you might expect.

国际电信联盟的研究涵盖了网络速度、网络接入人数等数据。结果显示，如果我们想要获得更好的网络体验，就得移民韩国——韩国连续第二年蝉联第一。而其他发达国家的网络状况却不像我们期待的那样乐观。

The US, for example, is 15th on the list, behind the UK, Australia, and Japan. Although to be fair, it was an improvement³ on its position of 16th in the last report, which came out in 2010. Meanwhile, China placed an underwhelming 82nd, falling behind Mauritius, Brazil, and Dominica.

比如，美国排名15，落后于英国、澳大利亚和日本。但不管怎样，相比于2010年报告中的第16位，美国还是有些进步的。同时，中国竟然排在第82位，排在毛里求斯、巴西和多米尼加之后。

And Chad had the worse Internet connection, with a score of just 1.17. In fact, Sub-Saharan African countries took out the 23 bottom spots on the list, which isn’t entirely⁴ surprising given previous instability in parts of the region⁵.

乍得网络状况最差，得分只有1.17；实际上，撒哈拉以南的非洲国家占据了名单的最后23个名次，考虑到这些地区的不稳定，也就不会对报告结果大惊小怪了。
