The impact of Covid-19 on global livability has been absolutely devastating.
新冠疫情对全球人民生活的影响是相当大的。
Well over a year into the pandemic, ongoing health crises, border closures and lockdowns are continuing to affect millions of people around the world.
疫情已经过去一年多了，持续的卫生危机、边境关闭和封锁仍在继续影响着世界各地的数百万人。
But some destinations have fared much better than others in managing the virus, meaning those who live there were able to get back to some semblance of normal life reasonably early on.
但一些地区在控制病毒方面比其他地方做得好得多，这意味着生活在那里的人能够在相当早的时候就回到某种形式上的正常生活。
New Zealand has been significantly praised for its handling of the crisis so it's perhaps no surprise that one of its cities has been named the world's most livable city for 2021.
新西兰因其对危机的处理而备受赞誉，所以新西兰的一个城市被评为2021年全球最宜居城市也就不足为奇了。
Auckland came out on top on The Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Index of 140 cities around the world thanks to its success in containing the pandemic quickly, enabling restrictions to be lifted early on.
奥克兰市在经济学人智库对全球140个城市的全球宜居指数中名列前茅，这是因为奥克兰市成功地迅速控制住了疫情，使限制得以提前解除。
The annual list did not go ahead in 2020, but Austria's Vienna, number one in both 2018 and 2019, has completely dropped out of the top 10 after being heavily effected by Covid, and now sits in 12th place.
该年度榜单没有在2020年进行评选，但在2018年和2019年都排名第一的奥地利维也纳，由于受新冠疫情的严重影响，完全跌出了前十名，目前排名第12位。
But while there have been many significant differences towards the top, very little has changed at the bottom of the list.
但是，尽管排名靠前有许多显著的差异，但排名靠后的国家变化不大。
While Damascus sits in last place once again "as the effects of the civil war in Syria continue to take their toll," it's closely followed by Nigeria's Lagos, Papua New Guinea's Port Moresby and Bangladesh's Dhaka, which were all in either similar or identical spots in 2019.
“由于叙利亚内战的影响持续”，大马士革再次排名垫底，紧随其后的是尼日利亚的拉各斯、巴布亚新几内亚的莫尔兹比港和孟加拉国的达卡，这些城市在2019年都处于相似或相同的位置。
These cities have consistently performed badly over the years due to the instability caused by ongoing civil unrest and military conflicts, amongst other issues.
由于持续的内乱和军事冲突等问题造成的不稳定，这些城市在过去几年里一直表现不佳。
According to the report, conditions here have deteriorated even further in the past 12 months, especially when it comes to healthcare, due to Covid-19.
根据该报告显示，由于疫情的关系，这里的条件在过去12个月里进一步恶化，特别是在医疗保健方面。
Although successful vaccination rollouts and the easing of restrictions in various countries has raised hopes, the pandemic is continuing to rage on, with India currently in the midst of a deadly outbreak.
尽管疫苗接种的成功推广和各国放松限制带来了希望，但大流行仍在继续肆虐，印度目前正处于致命的疫情暴发之中。
"Conditions in the poorest cities are likely to deteriorate further, should cities fail to get the vaccines they need to prevent the spread of new Covid-19 variants," reads the report.
该报告称:“如果城市无法获得预防新冠病毒变种传播所需的疫苗，最贫穷城市的状况可能会进一步恶化。”
"Weak healthcare systems could come under greater strain, as they have in India."
“脆弱的医疗体系可能会面临更大的压力，就像印度所面临的那样。”
This ultimately means we're likely to see more significant changes to the annual list come 2022, with some of the cities that have dropped down possibly regaining their former positions.
这最终意味着，2022年的年度榜单可能会发生更重大的变化，一些排名下滑的城市可能会重新获得之前的位置 。
"The pace of recovery of livability in most regions will be determined by how effectively the health risks of the pandemic can be controlled, through a combination of vaccination, testing, tracing and quarantine measures," the report continues.
报告还说:“大多数地区的宜居性恢复速度将取决于如何通过疫苗接种、检测、追踪和检疫措施等综合措施有效地控制疫情的健康风险。”
"Barring huge setbacks, such as the emergence of vaccine-resistant variants, scores for culture and environment should improve."
“除非出现巨大的挫折，比如疫苗耐药变异的出现，文化和环境的分数比重应该会提高。”
