China has built more skyscrapers in 2018 than any other country has in a year in history
在2018年建成的摩天大楼比历史上任何一个国家在一年内建的都多
China is growing taller quicker than ever.
正以前所未有的速度“长高”。
The world's second-largest economy has built more skyscrapers in 2018 than any other country has ever done in a year, according to a recent study.
最近的一项研究显示，这个世界第二大经济体在2018年建造的摩天大楼比任何国家在一年内建的都多。
A total of 88 buildings of 200 metres (656 feet) or greater in height have been completed in the Middle Kingdom in the past 12 months - eight more than last year.
在过去12个月里，共建成88座200米高(合656英尺)或更高的建筑，比去年多了8座。
The figure is a record for the country itself and accounts for more than 60 per cent of the world's total.
对来说这是一个创纪录的数字，占全球2018年建成的摩天大楼总量的60%以上。
The United States, a distant second on the list, built 13.
排在第二位的美国建了13座，与第一的差距隔得挺远。
The figures were released in an annual report from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, a Chicago-based organisation focusing on the study of tall buildings and future cities.
这些数据是在世界高层建筑与都市人居学会的年度报告中公布的。该委员会是一家总部位于芝加哥的组织，主要研究高层建筑与未来城市。
According to the report, the world has seen 143 buildings of 200 metres or taller completed in 2018, with 109 or 76.2 per cent of them in Asia.
报告称，2018年，全球共建成143座200米以上的建筑，其中76.2%（109座）位于亚洲。
The southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, a stone's throw from Hong Kong, is the 'king of towers' as it records 14 completions, followed by Dubai with 10 skyscrapers.
距离香港仅一步之遥的南方城市深圳创下了14座摩天大楼的竣工纪录，被誉为“高楼之王”，迪拜紧随其后，在2018年建成10座摩天大楼。
New York City doubled its 2017 figure to eight in 2018, claiming the third place for the world's most prolific skyscraper city this year.
纽约市在2018年建成8座摩天大楼，将2017年的数字翻了一番，成为今年全球拥有最多摩天大楼城市榜的第三名。
In fast-growing south-east Asia, both Thailand and Vietnam have seen their tallest building finished.
在快速发展的东南亚，泰国和越南也建成了他们各自的最高建筑。
Magnolias Waterfront Residences Tower 1 in Bangkok measures 315 metres (1,033 feet) in height while 461-metre-tall (1,512-foot-tall) Vincom Landmark 81 in Ho Chi Minh City is the first building greater than 400 metres (1,312 feet) in Vietnam.
位于曼谷的Magnolias Waterfront Residences Tower楼高315米(1033英尺)，而位于胡志明市的Vincom Landmark 81楼高461米(1512英尺)，是越南第一座高度超过400米(1312英尺)的建筑。
Elsewhere in the world, 16 skyscrapers were completed in North America and Central America, 13 in Middle East and Africa, three in South America and one in Europe - the 220-metre-tall (722-foot-tall) Nurol Life building in Istanbul.
在其他地方，北美和中美洲建成有16座摩天大楼，中东和非洲建成13座，南美洲建成3座，欧洲建成1座——位于伊斯坦布尔的Nurol Life大厦，楼高220米(722英尺)。
Daniel Safarik, one of the authors of the annual report, said China had been building more skyscrapers than anywhere else for some time.
He explained that China's current high output of skyscrapers reflected the country's economic performance from three to 10 years ago - because it would take time to plan and build such large buildings.
'That was the period where, while the rest of the world was in a real-estate slump due to the economic recession of 2008, China made a concerted effort to "build its way out"- or more accurately, avoid a recession altogether by underwriting enormous infrastructure and building projects,' said Mr Safarik.
这份年度报告的作者之一丹尼尔•萨法里克表示，一段时间以来，建造的摩天大楼比世界任何地方都多。目前摩天大楼的高产量反映了三到十年前的经济表现，因为规划和建造这样的大型建筑需要时间。在2008年经济衰退导致全球房地产市场陷入低迷之际，却在齐心协力地“走出困境”，或者更准确地说，通过为庞大的基础设施和建设项目提供担保，完全避免了经济衰退。
'The downturn in the Chinese economy that people are discussing now has not made an appearance on the skyline yet - it will be [in] several years - and we don't know how much of an effect it will have yet,' he added.
“人们现在讨论的经济下滑尚未出现在天际线上，几年之后或将出现，而我们也不知道它会产生多大影响。”他补充道。
China is also home to the tallest building to complete in the world in 2018: the 528-meter-tall (1,732-foot-tall) Citic Tower in Beiing.
2018年建成的全球最高建筑也位于：北京的中信大厦，楼高528米(1732英尺)。

China is also building far more coal-fired power stations than anyone else, but Germany is catching up. Bang goes the Paris accord - so why blame straight-talking Trump?
