Once upon a time,
0
2000
2000
很久以前，
00:19
at the age of 24,
1
4000
2000
当我还是24岁之时，
00:21
I was a student at St. John's Medical College in Bangalore.
2
6000
5000
我尚是一名位于班加罗尔的圣约翰医学院的学生。
00:26
I was a guest student during one month
3
11000
3000
当时，我是一名为期一个月的
00:29
of a public health course.
4
14000
2000
公共卫生课程的旁听生。
00:31
And that changed my mindset forever.
5
16000
3000
我的思维模式从那时起开始改变。
00:34
The course was good, but it was not the course content
6
19000
3000
这是一门好课程，但改变我思维模式的
00:37
in itself that changed the mindset.
7
22000
2000
不是这门课程本身。
00:39
It was the brutal realization,
8
24000
2000
而是因在第一天早晨，
00:41
the first morning,
9
26000
2000
我发现印度学生的表现
00:43
that the Indian students were better than me.
10
28000
3000
居然比我还要优秀，这个残酷的现实。
00:46
(Laughter)
11
31000
1000
（笑声）
00:47
You see, I was a study nerd.
12
32000
2000
如你所见，我是一个书呆子。
00:49
I loved statistics from a young age.
13
34000
2000
当我年轻时，我对数据有狂热的喜好。
00:51
And I studied very much in Sweden.
14
36000
2000
而且我在瑞典学习时很用功。
00:53
I used to be in the upper quarter of all courses I attended.
15
38000
4000
我曾在所有课程中都名列前茅。
00:57
But in St. John's, I was in the lower quarter.
16
42000
4000
但在圣约翰时，我却名落孙山了。
01:01
And the fact was that Indian students
17
46000
2000
我不得不承认，印度学生
01:03
studied harder than we did in Sweden.
18
48000
3000
比瑞典学生要刻苦努力多了。
01:06
They read the textbook twice,
19
51000
2000
他们会三番四次地
01:08
or three times or four times.
20
53000
2000
阅读他们的课本。
01:10
In Sweden we read it once and then we went partying.
21
55000
3000
而在瑞典，读完一次后，我们就去夜夜笙歌了。
01:13
(Laugher)
22
58000
2000
（笑声）
01:15
And that, to me,
23
60000
3000
这对于我的
01:18
that personal experience
24
63000
2000
意义是在于
01:20
was the first time in my life
25
65000
3000
我生而知之的思维方式
01:23
that the mindset I grew up with
26
68000
2000
第一次
01:25
was changed.
27
70000
3000
被改变了。
01:28
And I realized that perhaps
28
73000
2000
我意识到
01:30
the Western world will not continue
29
75000
2000
西方世界或许
01:32
to dominate the world forever.
30
77000
3000
不再是霸权国家了。
01:35
And I think many of you have the same sort of personal experience.
31
80000
4000
我想你们都大概有这种体验。
01:39
It's that realization of someone you meet
32
84000
3000
那种遇到某个人使你的世界观
01:42
that really made you change your ideas about the world.
33
87000
2000
发生天翻地覆地改变的经历。
01:44
It's not the statistics, although I tried to make it funny.
34
89000
4000
这些都不是数据，虽然我试着让它听起来有趣。
01:48
And I will now,
35
93000
4000
现在，
01:52
here, onstage,
36
97000
2000
我，将在这个台上，
01:54
try to predict when that will happen --
37
99000
3000
来预测亚洲
01:57
that Asia will regain
38
102000
5000
什么时候会
02:02
its dominant position
39
107000
2000
重夺其导向世界的
02:04
as the leading part of the world,
40
109000
2000
主导地位，
02:06
as it used to be, over thousands of years.
41
111000
4000
正如过去数千年一般。
02:10
And I will do that
42
115000
2000
而且我会尽可能地
02:12
by trying to predict precisely
43
117000
3000
得到一个精准的预测
02:15
at what year
44
120000
2000
来说明
02:17
the average income per person
45
122000
2000
印度和中国的人均收入
02:19
in India, in China, will reach that of the West.
46
124000
3000
何时会达到西方的水平。
02:22
And I don't mean the whole economy,
47
127000
2000
我不是指整体的经济实力，
02:24
because to grow an economy
48
129000
2000
对于印度来说
02:26
of India to the size of U.K. --
49
131000
2000
赶超英国的整体经济实力
02:28
that's a piece of cake, with one billion people.
50
133000
3000
是小菜一碟，因为他们拥有十亿人口。
02:31
But I want to see when will the average pay, the money
51
136000
4000
但是我所想见得是
02:35
for each person, per month,
52
140000
2000
印度和中国的
02:37
in India and China,
53
142000
2000
人均收入
02:39
when will that have reached that of U.K. and the United States?
54
144000
4000
什么时候会追上英国和美国的水平？
02:43
But I will start with a historical background.
55
148000
3000
首先，我会介绍一下历史背景。
02:46
And you can see my map if I get it up here. You know?
56
151000
3000
请问你们可以看到我的数据图么？可以吗？
02:49
I will start at 1858.
57
154000
3000
我会从1858年开始。
02:52
1858 was a year of great technological
58
157000
4000
1858年是西方科技水平
02:56
advancement in the West.
59
161000
2000
大跃进的一年。
02:58
That was the year when Queen Victoria
60
163000
3000
在这一年，维多利亚皇后
03:01
was able, for the first time, to communicate
61
166000
2000
可以和布坎南总统
03:03
with President Buchanan,
62
168000
2000
通过跨大西洋电报电缆
03:05
through the Transatlantic Telegraphic Cable.
63
170000
3000
来交流，这是有史以来的第一次。
03:08
And they were the first to "Twitter" transatlantically.
64
173000
3000
他们，是第一对跨大西洋的推客。
03:11
(Laughter)
65
176000
1000
（笑声）
03:12
(Applause)
66
177000
4000
（鼓掌）
03:16
And I've been able, through this wonderful Google and Internet,
67
181000
3000
而我，通过神奇的谷歌和网络
03:19
to find the text of the telegram
68
184000
2000
找到了布坎南总统
03:21
sent back from President Buchanan to Queen Victoria.
69
186000
4000
回发给维多利亚皇后的电报。
03:25
And it ends like this: "This telegraph
70
190000
3000
它的结尾时这样的：“这个电报
03:28
is a fantastic instrument to diffuse religion,
71
193000
2000
将是一种可向世界传播宗教、
03:30
civilization, liberty and law throughout the world."
72
195000
4000
文明、自由和法律的神奇工具。”
03:34
Those are nice words. But I got sort of curious
73
199000
3000
这句话很动听。可是，我很好奇
03:37
of what he meant with liberty, and liberty for whom.
74
202000
4000
他说的是何种自由，以及是何人的自由。
03:41
And we will think about that
75
206000
2000
这势必让我们回想起
03:43
when we look at the wider picture of the world in 1858.
76
208000
4000
在1858年时，世界各地都发生了什么。
03:47
Because 1858
77
212000
2000
因为1858年
03:49
was also watershed year
78
214000
3000
同时也是亚洲历史的
03:52
in the history of Asia.
79
217000
2000
分水岭。
03:54
1858 was the year
80
219000
2000
1858年，
03:56
when the courageous uprising
81
221000
2000
印度所爆发的
03:58
against the foreign occupation of India
82
223000
3000
民族大起义
04:01
was defeated by the British forces.
83
226000
2000
被英军镇压了。
04:03
And India was up to 89 years more of foreign domination.
84
228000
5000
印度因此继续忍受了89年的外人统治。
04:08
1858 in China
85
233000
2000
中国在1858年
04:10
was the victory in the Opium War by the British forces.
86
235000
4000
再一次在鸦片战争中输给了英国。
04:14
And that meant that foreigners, as it said in the treaty,
87
239000
3000
因此在签订的（不平等）条约中
04:17
were allowed to trade freely in China.
88
242000
2000
说明外国人在中国可自由通商。
04:19
It meant paying with opium for Chinese goods.
89
244000
4000
这意味着用鸦片换取中国商品。
04:23
And 1858 in Japan
90
248000
2000
日本在1858年，
04:25
was the year when Japan had to sign the Harris Treaty
91
250000
3000
被迫签订安政条约
04:28
and accept trade on favorable condition for the U.S.
92
253000
4000
以及承认美日贸易优先权。
04:32
And they were threatened by those black ships there,
93
257000
4000
因为他们在这几年
04:36
that had been in Tokyo harbor over the last year.
94
261000
2000
被东京港里的黑船威胁。
04:38
But, Japan, in contrast to India and China,
95
263000
4000
但日本仍拥有国家主权，
04:42
maintained its national sovereignty.
96
267000
3000
不像印度和中国那样。
04:45
And let's see how much difference that can make.
97
270000
3000
让我们来看看这将带来多大的差异。
04:48
And I will do that by bringing these bubbles
98
273000
3000
我将带着这些泡泡
04:51
back to a Gapminder graph here,
99
276000
2000
回到Gapminder软件上，
04:53
where you can see each bubble is a country.
100
278000
3000
在这里，每个泡泡都代表着一个国家。
04:56
The size of the bubble here is the population.
101
281000
3000
人口是由泡泡的大小所代表。
04:59
On this axis, as I used to have income per person in comparable dollar.
102
284000
5000
一般横轴都代表人均收入。
05:04
And on that axis I have life expectancy, the health of people.
103
289000
4000
竖轴则代表人均寿命。
05:08
And I also bring an innovation here.
104
293000
2000
今天，我又一次带来了一件发明。
05:10
I have transformed the laser beam
105
295000
3000
为了绿色印度，我将激光束转换成
05:13
into an ecological, recyclable version here, in green India.
106
298000
5000
一根生态友好型木棒。
05:18
(Applause)
107
303000
4000
（鼓掌）
05:22
And we will see, you know.
108
307000
3000
正如你们所料一样。
05:25
Look here, 1858, India was here,
109
310000
3000
1858年，印度和中国是在这里，
05:28
China was here, Japan was there,
110
313000
2000
日本则在那里。
05:30
United States and United Kingdom
111
315000
2000
美国和英国
05:32
was richer over there.
112
317000
2000
则更是在那边。
05:34
And I will start the world like this.
113
319000
3000
世界将从这样开始。
05:37
India was not always like this level.
114
322000
2000
印度以前不是这样的。
05:39
Actually if we go back into the historical record,
115
324000
2000
让我们回想百年以前的
05:41
there was a time hundreds of years ago
116
326000
2000
印度和中国，
05:43
when the income per person in India and China
117
328000
2000
那时，两国的人均收入
05:45
was even above that of Europe.
118
330000
2000
是比欧洲的水平还高。
05:47
But 1850 had already been many, many years of foreign domination,
119
332000
4000
然而，在1850年时，两国已饱受多年的外国侵略，
05:51
and India had been de-industrialized.
120
336000
3000
何况印度的工业能力还被削弱。
05:54
And you can see that the countries who were growing
121
339000
2000
而经济正在发展的国家
05:56
their economy was United States and United Kingdom.
122
341000
2000
则是英美两国。
05:58
And they were also, by the end of the century, getting healthy,
123
343000
3000
在十九世纪末时，他们的国民身体素质也得以改善，
06:01
and Japan was starting to catch up.
124
346000
2000
至于日本则开始奋起直追。
06:03
India was trying down here.
125
348000
2000
偏偏印度还深陷泥沼。
06:05
Can you see how it starts to move there?
126
350000
2000
你们可以看见他的确是在动吗？
06:07
But really, really natural sovereignty was good for Japan.
127
352000
4000
国家主权完整使日本受益匪浅。
06:11
And Japan is trying to move up there.
128
356000
2000
日本一直在尝试赶上去。
06:13
And it's the new century now. Health is getting better,
129
358000
2000
新世界到了。英美两国的国民
06:15
United Kingdom, United States.
130
360000
2000
身体素质更加强化了。
06:17
But careful now -- we are approaching the First World War.
131
362000
3000
但要小心，一战的脚步已经近了。
06:20
And the First World War, you know,
132
365000
2000
正如你所料，在一战期间
06:22
we'll see a lot of deaths and economical problems here.
133
367000
4000
会爆发很多经济问题和导致死亡。
06:26
United Kingdom is going down.
134
371000
2000
英国在走下坡路。
06:28
And now comes the Spanish flu also.
135
373000
2000
西班牙流感又接踵而来。
06:30
And then after the First World War, they continue up.
136
375000
3000
一战后，他们继续向上攀升。
06:33
Still under foreign domination, and without sovereignty,
137
378000
3000
印中两国由于仍被外来政权统治着，
06:36
India and China are down in the corner.
138
381000
2000
因此他们还在下面的角落里。
06:38
Not much has happened.
139
383000
2000
无甚变化。
06:40
They have grown their population but not much more.
140
385000
2000
只是人口有所增加罢了。
06:42
In the 1930's now, you can see
141
387000
2000
现在到了三十年代，
06:44
that Japan is going to a period of war,
142
389000
3000
日本正处于战争时期，
06:47
with lower life expectancy.
143
392000
2000
国民寿命普遍低下。
06:49
And the Second World War was really a terrible event,
144
394000
2000
二战对日本来说，尤其在经济上，
06:51
also economically for Japan.
145
396000
2000
是一场噩梦。
06:53
But they did recover quite fast afterwards.
146
398000
2000
但战后他们恢复的相对迅速。
06:55
And we are moving into the new world.
147
400000
2000
我们正迈向新世界。
06:57
In 1947 India finally
148
402000
3000
印度终于于1947年
07:00
gained its independence.
149
405000
2000
成独立国家。
07:02
And they could raise the Indian flag and become a sovereign nation,
150
407000
4000
他们可以升起他们自己的国旗并且成为一主权国家，
07:06
but in very big difficulties down there.
151
411000
3000
却仍举步维艰。
07:09
(Applause)
152
414000
3000
(鼓掌)
07:12
In 1949 we saw the emergence of the modern China
153
417000
4000
在1949年，新中国的诞生
07:16
in a way which surprised the world.
154
421000
2000
使全世界都为之惊奇。
07:18
And what happened?
155
423000
2000
之后发生了什么？
07:20
What happens in the after independence?
156
425000
2000
在独立之后发生了什么？
07:22
You can see that the health started to improve.
157
427000
2000
正如你所见，国民的健康有所进步。
07:24
Children started to go to school.
158
429000
2000
儿童们有学上。
07:26
Health services were provided.
159
431000
2000
医疗设施也逐渐出现。
07:28
This is the Great Leap Forward, when China fell down.
160
433000
4000
现正是大跃进时期，中国摔了一大跤。
07:32
It was central planning by Mao Tse Tung.
161
437000
2000
这是由毛泽东统一计划的。
07:34
China recovered. Then they said,
162
439000
2000
中国恢复元气后，
07:36
"Nevermore, stupid central planning."
163
441000
2000
他们则说：“前事不忘，后事之师。”
07:38
But they went up here, and India was trying to follow.
164
443000
3000
中国又日趋上升，印度则是吊车尾。
07:41
And they were catching up indeed.
165
446000
2000
他们都正迎头赶上。
07:43
And both countries had the better health, but still
166
448000
2000
两国的国民健康大大改善，
07:45
a very low economy.
167
450000
2000
然后经济水平仍有待提高。
07:47
And we came to 1978, and Mao Tse Tung died,
168
452000
3000
现在来到1978年，毛泽东已去世，
07:50
and a new guy turned up from the left.
169
455000
3000
新一代领导出现。
07:53
And it was Deng Xiaoping coming out here.
170
458000
3000
而邓小平正冉冉上升。
07:56
And he said, "Doesn't matter
171
461000
2000
他说：“不管
07:58
if a cat is white or black,
172
463000
2000
黑猫白猫，抓到老鼠
08:00
as long as it catches mice."
173
465000
2000
就是好猫。”
08:02
Because catching mice
174
467000
2000
因为这正是
08:04
is what the two cats wanted to do.
175
469000
3000
这两只大猫想做的。
08:07
And you can see the two cats being here,
176
472000
3000
正如你们所知，中印两只大猫
08:10
China and India, wanting to catch the mices over there, you know.
177
475000
3000
是想要抓住那边的老鼠。
08:13
And they decided to go not only for health and education,
178
478000
3000
因此他们决定不仅要发展教育和公共卫生，
08:16
but also starting to grow their economy.
179
481000
2000
也要开始发展经济。
08:18
And the market reformer was successful there.
180
483000
2000
改革开放是成功的。
08:20
In '92 India follows with a market reform.
181
485000
3000
在1992年印度也开始了经济改革。
08:23
And they go quite closely together,
182
488000
2000
他们走的很近，
08:25
and you can see that the similarity with India and China,
183
490000
2000
而且两国颇多相似之处，
08:27
in many ways, are greater than the differences with them.
184
492000
3000
而且差异不多。
08:30
And here they march on. And will they catch up?
185
495000
2000
他们齐头并进。可是能迎头赶上么？
08:32
This is the big question today.
186
497000
2000
这是现今世界的一个大问题。
08:34
There they are today.
187
499000
2000
今天，他们处在哪里。
08:36
Now what does it mean that the --
188
501000
2000
这说明了——
08:38
(Applause)
189
503000
3000
(掌声)
08:41
the averages there -- this is the average of China.
190
506000
3000
他们的平均水平，这是中国的平均水平。
08:44
If I would split China, look here,
191
509000
2000
假如将中国分开来看，
08:46
Shanghai has already catched up.
192
511000
3000
看，上海已经赶上了。
08:49
Shanghai is already there.
193
514000
2000
上海已经在上面哪里。
08:51
And it's healthier than the United States.
194
516000
4000
而且市民的平均寿命比美国还长。
08:55
But on the other hand, Guizhou, one of the poorest
195
520000
3000
然而，贵州，中国最穷的
08:58
inland provinces of China, is there.
196
523000
3000
一个内陆省，在那里。
09:01
And if I split Guizhou into urban and rural,
197
526000
4000
假如我将贵州分成城市和乡下两部分，
09:05
the rural part of Guizhou goes down there.
198
530000
3000
贵州乡下仍继续下滑。
09:08
You see this enormous inequity in China,
199
533000
3000
在中国的迅速经济发展下，
09:11
in the midst of fast economic growth.
200
536000
2000
隐藏着极大的问题。
09:13
And if I would also look at India,
201
538000
2000
我们再来看看印度，
09:15
you have another type of inequity, actually, in India.
202
540000
3000
我们会看到另一种不平等。
09:18
The geographical, macro-geographical difference is not so big.
203
543000
5000
从地理的角度上来看，差距不大。
09:23
Uttar Pradesh, the biggest of the states here,
204
548000
2000
北方邦，是印度的最大邦，
09:25
is poorer and has a lower health than the rest of India.
205
550000
3000
比起其他邦来说是较为贫穷落后的。
09:28
Kerala is flying on top there,
206
553000
3000
克拉拉邦则处于领先地位，
09:31
matching United States in health,
207
556000
2000
而且就公共卫生一项来说已赶上了美国，
09:33
but not in economy.
208
558000
2000
偏偏不包括经济。
09:35
And here, Maharashtra, with Mumbai,
209
560000
2000
这里，孟买的所在邦，马哈拉斯特拉邦，
09:37
is forging forward.
210
562000
2000
正向前迈进。
09:39
Now in India, the big inequities are within the state,
211
564000
3000
在印度，不平等是体现在邦内，
09:42
rather than between the states.
212
567000
2000
而非邦与邦之间。
09:44
And that is not a bad thing, in itself.
213
569000
3000
这并不是一件坏事。
09:47
If you have a lot inequity, macro-geographical inequities
214
572000
4000
假如在宏观地理上有太大差距，
09:51
can be more difficult in the long term to deal with,
215
576000
3000
这将会成为一长期隐患，
09:54
than if it is in the same area where you have a growth center
216
579000
3000
但在每个区域都有一经济发展中心，
09:57
relatively close to where poor people are living.
217
582000
3000
并且离穷人居住区近的话，这将会更好。
10:00
No, there is one more inequity. Look there, United States.
218
585000
3000
看，这还有一不平等的问题。看这里，美国。
10:03
(Laughter)
219
588000
1000
(笑声)
10:04
Oh, they broke my frame.
220
589000
2000
他已将我的框框撑破。
10:06
Washington, D.C. went out here.
221
591000
3000
华盛顿特区已跑到那里。
10:09
My friends at Gapminder wanted me to show this
222
594000
3000
我在Gapminder的朋友想我将这展现给你们
10:12
because there is a new leader in Washington
223
597000
2000
因为现在白宫有了新主人
10:14
who is really concerned about the health system.
224
599000
2000
而且很关心公共卫生体系。
10:16
And I can understand him, because Washington, D.C.
225
601000
3000
况且我也明白他的心情，因为华盛顿特区
10:19
is so rich over there
226
604000
3000
居民收入已非常之高
10:22
but they are not as healthy as Kerala.
227
607000
2000
但却比克拉拉邦的居民还短命。
10:24
It's quite interesting, isn't it?
228
609000
2000
很有趣是吧。
10:26
(Applause)
229
611000
5000
(鼓掌)
10:31
I can see a business opportunity for Kerala,
230
616000
3000
我帮克拉拉邦找到一生意，
10:34
helping fix the health system in the United States.
231
619000
2000
就是去帮美国建设他们的公共卫生体系。
10:36
(Laughter)
232
621000
2000
(笑声)
10:38
(Applause)
233
623000
2000
(鼓掌)
10:40
Now here we have the whole world. You have the legend down there.
234
625000
3000
现在来看看全球。图例则在这里。
10:43
And when you see the two giant cats here, pushing forward,
235
628000
4000
你们看到这两只巨猫在跋涉向前，
10:47
you see that in between them
236
632000
2000
在他们之间
10:49
and ahead of them,
237
634000
2000
或在他们前面，
10:51
is the whole emerging economies of the world,
238
636000
2000
正是现时的全球经济，
10:53
which Thomas Friedman so correctly called the "flat world."
239
638000
4000
这就是托马斯·弗里德曼所说的“世界是平的”。
10:57
You can see that in health and education,
240
642000
2000
你可以看见，很大一部分的
10:59
a large part of the world population is putting forward,
241
644000
3000
世界人口中的卫生和教育体系正在进步，
11:02
but in Africa, and other parts,
242
647000
2000
只是在非洲，或者其他地方，
11:04
as in rural Guizhou in China,
243
649000
2000
如中国的贵州乡下，
11:06
there is still people with low health and very low economy.
244
651000
3000
仍然有许多人处在困境之中。
11:09
We have an enormous disparity in the world.
245
654000
2000
现今世界贫富差距悬殊。
11:11
But most of the world in the middle are pushing forwards very fast.
246
656000
5000
但大多中间阶层国家都进步的很快。
11:16
Now, back to my projections.
247
661000
2000
好，回到我的预测。
11:18
When will it catch up? I have to go back to very conventional graph.
248
663000
5000
但两国何时能迎头赶上？我们必须使用传统图表。
11:23
I will show income per person on this axis instead,
249
668000
3000
竖轴代表着人均收入，
11:26
poor down here, rich up there.
250
671000
2000
穷富递进相增。
11:28
And then time here, from 1858
251
673000
2000
回溯到1858年
11:30
I start the world.
252
675000
2000
世界由此开始。
11:32
And we shall see what will happen with these countries.
253
677000
3000
让我们来观察下世界将会如何改变。
11:35
You see, China under foreign domination
254
680000
3000
中国正处于半殖民半封建时期
11:38
actually lowered their income and came down to the Indian level here.
255
683000
3000
而他们国民收入已降低至印度的水准。
11:41
Whereas U.K. and United States is getting richer and richer.
256
686000
4000
同一时间，英美则越来越富有。
11:45
And after Second World War, United States is richer than U.K.
257
690000
3000
二战后，英国被美国赶超。
11:48
But independence is coming here.
258
693000
2000
与此同时，独立的曙光则洒在中印两国头上。
11:50
Growth is starting, economic reform.
259
695000
2000
经济经过改革后开始增长。
11:52
Growth is faster, and with projection from IMF
260
697000
3000
增长速率加快，并且加上国际货币组织的预测
11:55
you can see where you expect them to be in 2014.
261
700000
4000
这正是两国于2014年会到达的水平。
11:59
Now, the question is, "When will the catch up take place?"
262
704000
5000
现时的问题则是：“他们何时会赶上？”
12:04
Look at, look at the United States.
263
709000
2000
再来回看下美国。
12:06
Can you see the bubble?
264
711000
2000
看的见那些泡泡？
12:08
The bubbles, not my bubbles,
265
713000
2000
不是我的泡沫，
12:10
but the financial bubbles.
266
715000
2000
而是经济泡沫。
12:12
That's the dot com bubble. This is the Lehman Brothers doorstep there.
267
717000
5000
看，雷曼兄弟的门槛在这。
12:17
You see it came down there.
268
722000
2000
看这里的下滑趋势。
12:19
And it seems this is another rock coming down there, you know.
269
724000
5000
英国也因受影响而下滑。
12:24
So they doesn't seem to go this way, these countries.
270
729000
3000
这些国家走的并不是阳光大道。
12:27
They seem to go in a more humble growth way, you know.
271
732000
3000
反而是崎岖不平的。
12:30
And people interested in growth
272
735000
2000
是故关注经济增长的人们
12:32
are turning their eyes towards Asia.
273
737000
3000
则转移视线至亚洲。
12:35
I can compare to Japan. This is Japan coming up.
274
740000
3000
我们将日本也加进来。日本是日趋上升。
12:38
You see, Japan did it like that.
275
743000
2000
日本是这样发展的。
12:40
We add Japan to it.
276
745000
2000
日本也加入美英的行列。
12:42
And there is no doubt that fast catch up
277
747000
3000
毫无疑问，他们追的很快
12:45
can take place.
278
750000
2000
且赶上了。
12:47
Can you see here what Japan did?
279
752000
2000
看看日本怎么做的。
12:49
Japan did it like this, until full catch up,
280
754000
2000
直到完全赶上，日本是这样发展的，
12:51
and then they follow with the other high-income economies.
281
756000
4000
接下来就紧随着高收入国家的脚步。
12:55
But the real projections for those ones,
282
760000
3000
不过我做出的预测
12:58
I would like to give it like this.
283
763000
5000
则是这样的。
13:03
Can be worse, can be better.
284
768000
2000
是福祸相依的。
13:05
It's always difficult to predict, especially about the future.
285
770000
4000
未来是难以预测的。
13:09
Now, a historian tells me it's even more difficult to predict about the past.
286
774000
3000
偏偏有一位历史学家告诉我过去更难预测。
13:12
(Laughter)
287
777000
2000
(笑声)
13:14
I think I'm in a difficult position here.
288
779000
3000
我在左右为难中。
13:17
Inequalities in China and India
289
782000
2000
中印两国的最大障碍
13:19
I consider really the big obstacle
290
784000
4000
就是不平等，
13:23
because to bring the entire population into growth and prosperity
291
788000
4000
要使百业具兴
13:27
is what will create a domestic market,
292
792000
2000
则定要创建一国内市场
13:29
what will avoid social instability,
293
794000
3000
来避免社会的不稳定
13:32
and which will make use of the entire capacity
294
797000
3000
并能使广大的群众
13:35
of the population.
295
800000
2000
都投身其中。
13:37
So, social investments in health, education and infrastructure,
296
802000
4000
所以中印两国绝需建设
13:41
and electricity is really what is needed in India and China.
297
806000
6000
完备的医疗，教育，电力等基础设施。
13:47
You know the climate. We have great international experts
298
812000
3000
气候是一全球问题。有一位印度的专家
13:50
within India telling us that the climate is changing,
299
815000
3000
指出全球气候正在变化
13:53
and actions has to be taken,
300
818000
2000
我们必须采取行动，
13:55
otherwise China and India would be the countries
301
820000
3000
否则，中印两国
13:58
most to suffer from climate change.
302
823000
2000
则会首当其冲。
14:00
And I consider India and China the best partners in the world
303
825000
3000
我想中国和印度应是在
14:03
in a good global climate policy.
304
828000
3000
气候问题上的最佳伙伴。
14:06
But they ain't going to pay
305
831000
2000
但他们不应
14:08
for what others, who have more money,
306
833000
2000
为那些造成这些恶果的国家
14:10
have largely created, and I can agree on that.
307
835000
3000
背黑锅，而我认为也应这样做。
14:13
But what I'm really worried about is war.
308
838000
3000
但我最担心战争爆发。
14:16
Will the former rich countries really accept
309
841000
2000
那些现今的大国
14:18
a completely changed world economy,
310
843000
3000
能接受世界经济体系的改变
14:21
and a shift of power away from where it has been
311
846000
3000
和承认已有50至100年，甚至是霸主地位的移交么
14:24
the last 50 to 100 to 150 years,
312
849000
2000
甚至是150年的
14:26
back to Asia?
313
851000
2000
的霸主地位的移交么？
14:28
And will Asia be able to handle that
314
853000
2000
抑或亚洲能够
14:30
new position of being in charge
315
855000
2000
承受住作为世界霸主的
14:32
of being the most mighty, and the governors of the world?
316
857000
3000
压力和重担吗？
14:35
So, always avoid war,
317
860000
2000
因此一定要避免战争，
14:37
because that always pushes human beings backward.
318

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Hans Rosling - Global health expert; data visionaryIn Hans Rosling’s hands, data sings. Global trends in health and economics come to vivid life. And the big picture of global development—with some surprisingly good news—snaps into sharp focus.
Why you should listen
Even the most worldly and well-traveled among us have had their perspectives shifted by Hans Rosling. A professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, his work focused on dispelling common myths about the so-called developing world, which (as he pointed out) is no longer worlds away from the West. In fact, most of the Third World is on the same trajectory toward health and prosperity, and many countries are moving twice as fast as the west did.
What set Rosling apart wasn't just his apt observations of broad social and economic trends, but the stunning way he presented them. Guaranteed: You've never seen data presented like this. A presentation that tracks global health and poverty trends should be, in a word: boring. But in Rosling's hands, data sings. Trends come to life. And the big picture — usually hazy at best — snaps into sharp focus.
Rosling's presentations were grounded in solid statistics (often drawn from United Nations and World Bank data), illustrated by the visualization software he developed. The animations transform development statistics into moving bubbles and flowing curves that make global trends clear, intuitive and even playful. During his legendary presentations, Rosling took this one step farther, narrating the animations with a sportscaster's flair.
Rosling developed the breakthrough software behind his visualizations through his nonprofit Gapminder, founded with his son and daughter-in-law. The free software — which can be loaded with any data — was purchased by Google in March 2007. (Rosling met the Google founders at TED.)
Rosling began his wide-ranging career as a physician, spending many years in rural Africa tracking a rare paralytic disease (which he named konzo) and discovering its cause: hunger and badly processed cassava. He co-founded Médecins sans Frontièrs (Doctors without Borders) Sweden, wrote a textbook on global health, and as a professor at the Karolinska Institut in Stockholm initiated key international research collaborations. He's also personally argued with many heads of state, including Fidel Castro.
Hans Rosling passed away in February 2017. He is greatly missed.
