Hey there! 嘿！
Welcome to Life Noggin. 欢迎来到Life Noggin。
Imagine being able to move anywhere on Earth. 想象一下，能够移动到地球上的任何地方。
Where is the best spot to live? 最适合居住的地方在哪里？
Sure, everyone has different preferences — like being in a cold versus a warm climate — but 当然，每个人都有不同的喜好 - 比如在寒冷和温暖的气候中 - 但是
most people can agree that they want to live a long, safe, and happy life. 大多数人可以同意他们想过长期，安全和幸福的生活。
And science can help find the best place for that. 科学可以帮助找到最好的地方。
There are tons of studies about where you humans live the longest. 有很多研究关于你的人类居住时间最长的地方。
But any measure of life expectancy is just an estimate. 但任何衡量寿命的指标都只是一个估计值。
We can’t actually know how long you’ll live until you… 我们实际上不知道你会活多久，直到你...
well, die. 好吧，死了。
And that’s a problem. 这是一个问题。
If we only study the lifespans of people who’ve already died — say, everyone born in 1890 如果我们只研究已经死亡的人的寿命 - 比如1890年出生的人
— that won’t help us figure out today’s life expectancy. - 这无助于我们弄清今天的预期寿命。
We now have better medicine, housing, and sanitation than back then. 现在我们的医疗，住房和卫生条件比现在好得多。
So instead, scientists use probability. 相反，科学家们使用概率。
They predict how likely it is someone will reach a certain age based on current trends 他们预测，根据目前的趋势，某人会达到某个年龄的可能性有多大
and conditions. 和条件。
The countries with the longest lifespans all have strong economies, good access to healthcare, 寿命最长的国家都具有强大的经济，良好的医疗保健，
and generally healthy diets. 和一般健康的饮食。
Monaco takes the top spot… it’s citizens live to be an average of over 85 years old. 摩纳哥占据了榜首......这是公民的平均生活年龄超过85岁。
In Japan and Hong Kong, the average is over 83 years. 在日本和香港，平均超过83年。
But these numbers could change if a disaster hits or a war breaks out. 但是如果灾难发生或战争爆发，这些数字可能会改变。
For somewhere to be the best place, it also has to be safe. 在某个地方是最好的地方，它也必须是安全的。
Japan is at a high risk for disasters because gets a lot of earthquakes and floods. 由于受到大量地震和洪水的影响，日本面临灾难性风险。
Even more vulnerable are the islands in Southeast Asia and the central Pacific, which face earthquakes, 东南亚和中太平洋地区面临地震的岛屿更加脆弱，
storms, and increasing sea levels. 风暴和海平面上升。
Many of these countries don’t have the resources or infrastructure to deal with disasters. 许多这些国家没有处理灾害的资源或基础设施。
This is important because the same size storm could topple buildings in one place while 这很重要，因为同样大小的风暴可能会在一个地方颠覆建筑物
leaving another without much damage. 留下另一个没有太大的损害
The safest nations are the ones where natural disasters don’t happen often, but if they 最安全的国家是自然灾害不经常发生的国家，但如果它们发生的话
did, the country could handle them. 确实，该国可以处理它们。
Topping the list are Saudi Arabia, Malta, and Qatar. 榜首是沙特阿拉伯，马耳他和卡塔尔。
And they are also some of the happiest. 而且他们也是最幸福的人之一。
It’s tough to study happiness because it means different things to different people. 学习快乐很困难，因为这对不同的人意味着不同的事情。
So scientists at the United Nations came up with six criteria that apply to every country: 因此，联合国的科学家提出了适用于每个国家的六个标准：
wealth, life expectancy, corruption, social support, freedom to make your own decisions, 财富，预期寿命，腐败，社会支持，做出自己决定的自由，
and generosity, or how much people donate.[ They talked to people in 150 countries, and 慷慨，多少人捐赠。[他们与150个国家的人们交流，
the happiest were in Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and Switzerland. 最幸福的人是在挪威，丹麦，冰岛和瑞士。
So which one is the best place to live? 那么哪一个是最适合居住的地方？
Well, there is one country that ranks near the top in just about every study: Iceland. 那么，在几乎每项研究中都有一个国家排名靠前：冰岛。
It’s not only happy and peaceful, but it makes the top 10 in life expectancy and in 这不仅是幸福与和平，而且还是人均寿命的前十名
safety from natural disasters. 来自自然灾害的安全。
So Iceland is the best!…. 所以冰岛是最好的！...。
Maybe. 也许。
It’s probably more important to go based on where you feel most comfortable. 根据你感觉最舒适的地方去做可能更重要。
For me, that’s the cozy insides of this computer. 对我来说，这是这台电脑的舒适内部。
Where would you move if you could go anywhere? 如果你可以去任何地方，你会移动到哪里？
Let me know in the comments below. 请在下面的评论中告诉我。
Have you ever wondered where the best place on Earth is to eat? 你有没有想过地球上最好的地方吃什么？
Well, that might take a while to find out, but in the meantime, check out the new show 那么，这可能需要一段时间才能发现，但与此同时，请查看新的节目
