【圖】英國為什么不能沒有蘇格蘭？

Although only residents of Scotland can decide the outcome of the referendum, a "Yes" vote will mean changes for the whole of the UK - and one of the greatest will be to do with the physical size of the country itself.
　　雖然能夠決定獨(dú)立公投結(jié)果的只是蘇格蘭公民，但如果獨(dú)立公投成功，其將為整個(gè)英國帶來變化，其中最大的變化之一就是國家領(lǐng)土面積。

And an already busy country would suddenly become much more crowded, statistically at least.
　　而且至少從數(shù)據(jù)上來看，英國這個(gè)本已十分擁擠的國家會一下子變得更加擁擠。

Scotland contributes some £106.3bn of goods and services in "Gross Value Added" (GVA) - the key measure by which the Office for National Statistics records regional economic output in the UK.
　　蘇格蘭產(chǎn)品和服務(wù)的總增加值（GVA）為1063億英鎊，GVA是英國國家統(tǒng)計(jì)署記錄區(qū)域經(jīng)濟(jì)產(chǎn)出的關(guān)鍵衡量指標(biāo)。

The UK's total GVA, which was some £1,383bn in 2012, according to ONS figures.
　　根據(jù)英國國家統(tǒng)計(jì)署數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2012年英國總GVA大約為13830億英鎊。
　　The effect of Scotland - and its population - leaving the UK would be a small increase in GDP per head of some £117.
　　蘇格蘭脫離英國將會讓英國人均GDP小幅上漲117英鎊。

The value of Scotland's exports to the rest of the world, excluding that to other UK nations, accounted for some 7% of the UK total in 2012.
　　不包括英國其他地區(qū)，2012年蘇格蘭向世界其他地區(qū)的出口總額占英國出口總額的7%左右。

Scotland's 59 seats in Westminster would disappear if the country votes "Yes" in September, and this could have a drastic impact on future governments.
　　如果9月獨(dú)立公投成功，英國議會里來自蘇格蘭的59個(gè)席位將消失，這將對英國未來政府產(chǎn)生巨大影響。

Scotland has long suffered lower life-expectancy rates than other parts of the UK, with social problems and pockets of severe poverty cited as factors.
　　由于社會問題和一些極端貧困情況的出現(xiàn)，蘇格蘭的人均壽命一直都低于英國其他地區(qū)。

Current UK figures show that men can expect to reach 78.7 years and women 82.6 years.
　　目前數(shù)據(jù)表明，英國男性預(yù)期壽命達(dá)到78.7歲，女性達(dá)到82.6歲。
　　But if Scotland left the effect would only be a small statistical shift, with men gaining a potential extra 0.4 years (4.8 months) and women 0.3 years (3.6 months).
　　但如蘇格蘭獨(dú)立，數(shù)據(jù)變化并不特別明顯，男性預(yù)期壽命將增加0.4年（4.8個(gè)月），女性預(yù)期壽命增加0.3年（3.6個(gè)月）。

By comparison with the EU; life expectancy for men is highest in Sweden, where men can expect to reach 79.9 years, while women live longest in Spain (85.1 years).
　　與歐盟國家相比，瑞典男性的預(yù)期壽命最長，為79.9歲，西班牙女性預(yù)期壽命最長，為85,1歲。
