1.5 billion people in violence and conflicts
全球15亿人深陷暴力冲突

Violent conflict not only holds back economic development in the originating country, but also causes severe losses to the global market.

Violent conflict not only holds back economic development in the originating country, but also causes severe losses to the global market.
The World Bank issued its annual 2011 World Development Report Monday in Washington, China News reported. The report showed that more than 1.5 billion people, or one in four people worldwide, live in fragile and conflict-affected states or in countries with very high levels of criminal violence. 据中国新闻网报道,总部位于华盛顿的世界银行11日发布2011年《世界发展报告》,指出当今全球有15亿人深陷暴力冲突漩涡,即全球每四人中就有一人生活在受冲突影响或暴力犯罪高发的国家。
The report focuses on the theme of "Conflict, Security and Development", examining causes and dynamics of violent conflicts which hinder economic growth, political reform and overall security. 今年报告的主题为“冲突、安全与发展”,研究分析诱发暴力冲突的动因。暴力冲突阻碍经济发展、政治改革和社会安定。
The study illustrates that on average, countries that experienced major violence over the period from 1981 to 2005 have a poverty rate 21 percentage points higher than countries that saw no violence. 报告指出,近20年间反复发生武装冲突或暴力犯罪的国家,其整体贫困率比别国高出约21个百分点。

It also emphasizes that violent conflict not only holds back economic development in the originating country, but also causes severe losses to the global market.

报告强调,暴力冲突不仅让一国穷困不堪,而且会令全球市场付出代价。
