 2024年世界人口超80亿

  A U.S. government agency says the world's population grew by about 75 million people in 2023.

  美国一家政府机构表示,2023年世界人口增加了约7500万人。

  The U.S. Census Bureau notes the worldwide growth rate in the past year was just under 1 percent.

  美国人口调查局指出,去年全球人口增长率略低于1%。

  The agency also said there will be 4.3 births and two deaths around the world every second in 2024.

  该机构还表示,到2024年,全球每秒钟将会有4.3人出生,2人死亡。

  The United States' growth rate is about half that of the world overall.

  美国的人口增长率大约是全球整体人口增长率的一半。

  On January 1, 2024, the U.S. had a population of 335.8 million, the Census Bureau said.

  美国人口调查局表示,截至2024年1月1日,美国人口为3.358亿。

  The numbers look large.

  这些数字看起来很大。

  But growth rates around the world have been slowing.

  但全球人口的增长率一直在放缓。

  The United Nations notes the world population will reach 9 billion in about 15 years.

  联合国指出,世界人口将会在大约15年后达到90亿。

  That is three years longer than it took to move from 7 billion to 8 billion.

  这比从70亿人口增加到80亿人口所花的时间长了三年。

  The world population reached 8 billion people in November 2022.

  2022年11月,世界人口达到80亿。

  If the current rate continues, the 2020s are likely to be the slowest growing decade in American history, the Census Bureau said.

  美国人口调查局表示,如果按照目前的速度继续下去,21世纪20年代很可能是美国历史上人口增长最慢的十年。

  William Frey is a population expert at the Brookings Institution, a research group based in Washington, D.C.

  威廉·弗雷是布鲁金斯学会的人口专家,布鲁金斯学会是一家位于华盛顿特区的研究机构。

  He said the growth rate in the U.S. from 2020 to 2030 will be under 4 percent.

  他说,从2020年到2030年,美国的人口增长率将会低于4%。

  The slowest-growing decade recorded in the U.S. took place in the 1930s, after the long economic depression.

  美国有记录以来人口增长最慢的十年发生在20世纪30年代,当时正值长期的经济萧条。

  The growth rate for that decade was 7.3 percent.

  这十年的人口增长率为7.3%。

  Frey said the predicted growth rate could "tick up" in the next few years.

  弗雷说,预计人口增长率可能在未来几年内会有“小幅上升”。

  But he said it is not likely to be higher than 7.3 percent.

  但他表示,人口增长率不太可能高于7.3%。

  Immigration is the reason why the U.S. will not suffer a population loss in 2024.

  移民是美国在2024年不会遭受人口减少的原因。

  There should be one birth every nine seconds and one death every 9.5 seconds.

  每9秒应该会有一个人出生,每9.5秒应该会有一个人死亡。

  But there will likely be two new American immigrants every minute in 2024.

  但到2024年,每分钟可能会有两名新的美国移民。

  The two countries both have more than 1.4 billion people.

  这两个国家的人口都超过了14亿。

  By 2050, China's population is expected to decrease by 2.7 percent.
