The first was that even though we grew, we didn't create enough jobs.
一，雖然我們進步，我們卻沒有創造足夠的就業崗位。
We didn't create jobs for our youth.
我們沒有為我們的年輕人創造就業崗位。
Youth unemployment on the continent is about 15 percent, and underemployment is a serious problem.
在非洲，失業青年大概占15%，而就業不足是一個非常嚴重的問題。
The second thing that we did is that the quality of growth was not good enough.
二，發展質量不高。
Even those jobs we created were low-productivity jobs,
就連那些我們已經創造了的就業崗位，也只是低生產率崗位，
so we moved people from low-productivity agriculture
因此我們只是把人們從低生產率的農業
to low-productivity commerce and working in the informal sector in the urban areas.
轉移到了低生產率的商業，而且還是在城市的非正式部門工作。
The third thing is that inequality increased. So we created more billionaires.
三，貧富懸殊差距擴大。我們造就了更多億萬富翁。
50 billionaires worth 96 billion dollars own more wealth than the bottom 75 million people on the continent.
50個億萬富翁，身價960億美元，擁有比這個大陸上7500萬底層人民更多的財富。
Poverty, the proportion of people in poverty -- that's the fourth thing -- did decrease,
貧困，貧困人口比例——這是我要說的第四件事——確實下降了，
but the absolute numbers did not because of population growth.
但是因為人口增長，實際人數并沒有降低。
And population growth is something that we don't have enough of a dialogue about on the continent.
人口增長是一個在非洲大陸上還沒有好好討論過的話題。
And I think we will need to get a handle on it, particularly how we educate girls.
而我認為我們有需要去解決這個問題，尤其是我們如何教育女孩子們。
That is the road to really working on this particular issue.
那才是真正解決這個特殊問題的方法。
The fifth thing is that we didn't invest enough in infrastructure.
五，基礎設施投入不足。
We had investment from the Chinese. That helped some countries, but it's not enough.
我們從中國那里獲得了資助。這幫助了部分國家，可卻遠遠不夠。
The consumption of electricity in Africa on the continent in Sub-Saharan Africa is equivalent to Spain.
在非洲的撒哈拉以南地區，耗電量相當于西班牙。
The total consumption is equivalent to that of Spain.
整體的耗電量相當于西班牙。
So many people are living in the dark,
這意味著很多人生活在黑暗中，
and as the President of the African Development Bank said recently, Africa cannot develop in the dark.
就如非洲發展銀行行長最近說的，“非洲不能在黑暗中前行”。
