1. Eritrea

　　1. 厄立特里亞

　　It’s true that copper and gold are here for some of the people to mine, however, there are about 80% of the locals that are farmers and only 7 out of 10 people are able to read and write. This country is found on the borders of Ethiopia and Sudan which are along the Red Sea, and the farmers here struggle against continuous drought conditions and a serious shortage of working class which is induced by the military draft from the government. Because of Eritrea’s per capita GDP of 7, it’s very clear to see that it is one of the most impoverished nations in the world.

　　厄立特里亞有銅和金可供人們開采，但這里80%的當(dāng)?shù)厝硕际寝r(nóng)民，擁有讀寫能力的人只有七成。該國緊靠紅海，比鄰埃塞俄比亞和蘇丹。同時，這里的農(nóng)民苦于長時期的干旱和勞動力的缺乏——因為許多人都被政府誘導(dǎo)服了兵役。厄立特里亞的國內(nèi)人均生產(chǎn)總值只有777美元，我們就不難理解為什么它是世界上最窮的國家之一了。

　　2. Burundi

　　2.布隆迪

　　The state of Maryland and Burundi are roughly the same land mass, but Burundi has double the population. Across this country, 1 out of 10 Burundians are surviving on farming alone. With commodity costs and numerous droughts impacting the revenue that gets generated from the biggest crops, like coffee and tea, one of the most significant motives for why this country’s per capita PPP gross nationwide product of 0 is what deems it the 4th poorest country on earth. As well, only an alarming 2% or less of their population has electricity within their rural culture.

世界上最貧窮的五個國家

　　馬里蘭與布隆迪的國土面積大致相等，但是布隆迪的人口比馬里蘭的人口多一倍。放眼整個國家，十個布隆迪公民中就有一個是僅依靠種田過活的。日用品價格昂貴，加上長期的干旱，布隆迪的財政收入只能從咖啡，茶這樣的農(nóng)作物種中獲得，布隆迪的公私合營的人均生產(chǎn)總值是640美元，這是導(dǎo)致布隆迪位列最窮國家第四名的原因。更加令人堪憂的是，在農(nóng)村只有2%甚至更少的人可以用上電。

　　3. Zimbabwe

　　3.津巴布韋

　　Zimbabwe is a landlocked nation with 6 per capita PPP gross national product, making it the 3rd country that is least affluent in the world. Zimbabwe has its typical rich, natural African resources but has been subjected to a tumultuous decade of unproductive economic strategies and war. Zimbabwe is chiefly an agrarian economy, but they go through drought after drought, which brings mayhem when they attempt to meet the crop demands. They mainly generate revenue through tobacco and grain. There is opportunity for economic growth in the mining trades for diamonds, coal, copper and gold.

　　津巴布韋是一個內(nèi)陸國家，位列世界上第三窮。公私合營的人均生產(chǎn)總值只有516美元。津巴布韋典型擁有豐富的天然非洲資源，可是由于多年的戰(zhàn)爭以及不生產(chǎn)政策，動蕩不安的津巴布韋依舊是一個以農(nóng)業(yè)經(jīng)濟為主的國家。由于接連的干旱，津巴布韋在糧食自給上不斷遇到挫折。在經(jīng)濟發(fā)展可以通過開采鉆石，煤，銅和金的情況下，這個國家的財政收入依然以煙草和農(nóng)作物為主。

　　4. Democratic Republic of Congo

　　4.剛果民主共和國

　　In accordance with Global Finance magazine, the Democratic Republic of Congo (previously known as Zaire) has ranked very last in GDP per capital for 2011. This is even the case regardless of their economic growth over the last decade. There is only 4 per person that is generated in Congo’s economic environment. This African country rests upon massive gold and coltan deposits as well as other natural resources. Congo is the 19th most populated nation in the world, but thanks to the corruption in the mining trade, employment prospects have been bound up and foreign buyers have been pressured to stay away.

　　在2011年《環(huán)球金融》雜志的國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值榜單中，剛果民主共和國(扎伊爾)排名非?？亢蟆＿@個排名已經(jīng)是近十幾年來剛果民主共和國經(jīng)濟有所發(fā)展之后的結(jié)果了。在剛果現(xiàn)在的經(jīng)濟環(huán)境下，人均產(chǎn)值只有364美元。剛果有著大量金礦和鈳鉭鐵礦，以及其他的自然資源的天然貯備。19世紀(jì)的剛果是人口密度最多的國家，但由于采礦中的腐敗，勞務(wù)關(guān)系前景堪憂，外來買家也被拒之門外。

　　What might be shocking to many is that 2/3 of the Liberian population are surviving on class="main">
