印媒: 美国人拥有全球枪支总数的40%

Americans own 40 percent of world's firearms: study

研究表明：美国人拥有全球枪支总数的40%

United Nations (United States) (AFP) - Americans make up only four percent of the global population but they own 40 percent of the world's firearms, a new study said Monday.

联合国(美国)(法新社)——周一，一项新的研究称，虽然美国人仅占全球人口的4%，但他们却拥有了全球枪支总数的40%。

There are more than one billion firearms in the world but 85 percent of those are in the hands of civilians, with the remainder held by law enforcement and the military, according to the Small Arms Survey.

据《小型武器调查》显示，世界上有超过10亿支枪械，但其中85%掌握在平民手中，其余则由执法机关和军方掌握。

The survey, produced by the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, says it bases its estimates based on multiple sources, including civilian firearms registration data from 133 countries and territories and survey results in 56 countries.

日内瓦国际和发展研究所称，他们的调查基于多个统计数据来源，包括来自133个国家和地区的民用枪支登记数据，以及56个国家的调查结果。

Of the 857 million guns owned by civilians, 393 million are in the United States - more than all of the firearms held by ordinary citizens in the other top 25 countries combined.

在平民拥有的8.57亿支枪中，有3.93亿支在美国——超过其他排名靠前的25个国家的普通公民所持有的枪支总数。

"The biggest force pushing up gun ownership around the world is civilian ownership in the United States," said Aaron Karp, one of the authors of the report which compiles new data from the last ten years.

该报告（根据过去10年的最新数据编制）的作者之一亚伦卡普说:“在世界范围内，推动枪支拥有数量增长的最大动力是美国平民对枪支的拥有。”

"Ordinary American people buy approximately 14 million new and imported guns every year," Karp told a news conference at UN headquarters in New York.

卡普在纽约联合国总部的新闻发布会上说:“普通美国人每年购买大约1400万支新枪和进口枪支。”

Americans have access to powerful firearms that are not available in many other countries due to tighter legislation.

由于法律更为严苛，所以美国人可以合法拥有强力武器，而其他许多国家的人民则无法获取。

"Why are they buying them? That's another debate. Above all, they are buying them probably because they can. The American market is extraordinarily permissive," he said.

“他们为什么要买呢?这是另一个争论。最重要的是，他们可能就是因为能够买得到，才会购买这些产品。美国的枪支市场非常自由。”

Gun ownership rates vary across the world, with 121 firearms for every 100 residents in the United States compared to 53 in Yemen, 39 in Montenegro, and 35 in Canada.

世界各地枪支拥有率各不相同，美国每100名居民拥有121支枪支，而也门为53支，黑山为39支，加拿大为35支。

Japan and Indonesia are at the other end of the spectrum with less than one firearm per 100 people.

日本和印尼则处于另一个极端，每100个人只拥有不到一支枪。

Only 28 countries released information on their military stockpiles while 28 nations offered information the firearms owned by law enforcement agencies.

只有28个国家公布了军事储备的信息，还有28个国家提供了执法机构拥有枪支的信息。

Civilian firearms registration data was available for 133 countries and territories.

共有133个国家和地区提供了民用枪支的登记数据。

It's likely more like double that number, because it does not include unregistered firearms here and abroad.

搞不好这个数据得翻倍，因为它还没有统计国内外未登记的枪支呢
