海外工作生活 加拿大最佳英国最差

Looking to work overseas? Head to Canada, Australia or Thailand, according to an annual global survey which found recession-hit Britain was one of the worst locations to live for expatriates.

想去海外工作?那就去加拿大、澳大利亚或泰国。一项年度全球调查显示，这三国是海外工作生活的首选地，受经济危机重创的英国则是最不理想的海外移居地之一。

The second annual Expat Experience survey, commissioned by HSBC Bank International, revealed that expats in Canada have the best quality of life and found it among the easiest places in the world to integrate with the local population.

这项由汇丰国际委托开展的第二届“海外工作生活体验”的年度调查显示，在加拿大工作生活的外国人生活质量最高，而且最易与当地人融合。

Australia and Thailand also came in the top three in the survey of 3,146 people working in 30 different industries and 50 countries, even though Thailand was one of the countries worst-hit by the recession for expats.

进入前三名的其它两国是澳大利亚和泰国——尽管泰国是受经济危机影响最严重的国家之一。参与该调查的3146名受访者从事30个不同的行业、来自50个国家。

"We have seen that there is a distinct trade-off between income and overall quality of life, as many of the top performers ... scored towards the bottom of this report's league table (of the best places to make and save money)," said Betony Taylor, spokeswoman for HSBC Bank International.

汇丰国际的女发言人贝特尼?泰勒说：“我们发现收入和整体生活质量之间存在明显的抵换关系。在排在前列的国家中，有很多在(最适合赚钱和存钱的)排行榜上排名却很靠后。

"What is clear is that the locations where salaries may not be as high, such as Canada and Australia, are where expats are really enjoying not only an increased quality of life but are also finding it easy to fit in to their new communities."

“很明显，在加拿大和澳大利亚这些薪水不算太高的国家，外国人不仅真正享受到了生活质量的提高，而且也容易融入当地的新环境。

Last year Germany, Canada and Spain were the top three countries deemed to have the best lifestyle for expats.

去年的前三甲分别是德国、加拿大和西班牙。

This year Britain was one of the lowest ranked locations when it came to lifestyle after being named as one of the most expensive places for expats with the recession taking its toll.

英国在今年的最佳移居国排行榜上排名靠后。由于受经济危机的重创，该国被评为对于外国人来说生活成本最高的国家之一
