万万没想到 2016全球最富地区将是它

 　　Asia has overtaken Europe as the world's second-richest region, according to an annual report by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

　　波士顿咨询公司的年度报告称，亚洲已经超过欧洲成为世界第二富裕的地区。

　　The Asia Pacific, excluding Japan, held $47 trillion in private wealth last year as the number of new millionaires rose in China and India.

　　North America is the world's richest region with $51tn, but is expected to be surpassed by Asia in 2016.

　　Asia is also projected to hold 34% of global wealth in 2019.

　　Overall, global private financial wealth grew by nearly 12% last year to $164tn, lifted by strong gains in the stock and bond markets.

　　总体来看，股市和债券市场的大量收益使得去年全球私有金融财产增加近12%，达到164万亿美元。

　　"A strong "'old world versus¹ new world' dynamic was observed, with the so-called new world growing at a far faster pace," the report said.

　　报告指出，“观察到明显的新旧世界之间的动态，所谓的新世界的增长速度要快的多”。

　　"As in both 2012 and 2013, Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) remained the fastest-growing region in 2014.

　　“2012和2013年，除日本外的亚太地区是增长最快的地区，它在2014年也是如此。”

　　"By contrast, growth rates in all 'old world' regions remained in the single digits², led by Western Europe and North America, and with Japan lagging somewhat behind."

　　“与之相反，整个‘旧世界’地区的增速保持在个位数，其中西欧和北美领先，日本则略微落后。”
