    根据经济学人智库发布的最新生活成本调查,新加坡连续第四年蝉联全球生活成本最高城市。

    The survey compared the prices of 160 goods and services in 133 cities around the world, and found that Singapore was 5% pricier than Hong Kong, which lies in second place.

    该调查比较了全球133座城市的160种商品和服务的价格,结果发现新加坡的商品和服务的价格比排名第2的香港高出5%。

    A sustained recovery in the Japanese yen's strength has led to rising costs in Osaka and Tokyo.

    Asia now hosts five out of the six most expensive cities in the world.

    这与欧洲城市排名的逐步下降形成了鲜明的对比,十年之前欧洲在10个生活成本最高城市中占据八个席位,而现如今只占据四个。

    American cities have fallen down the rankings, too, although they still remain comparatively expensive compared with five years ago.

    美国的城市也在该排名中有所下滑,尽管这些城市与五年前相比成本仍然较高。

    Shanghai is ranked 16th, making it the most expensive city on the Chinese mainland.
