And a gain in Texas and Florida and Georgia and North Carolina
也有上升的，如德州和佛羅里達州、喬治亞州和北卡羅來納州
and in these certainly Arizona, the more rapidly growing Sun Belt states
當然還有亞利桑那州，這都是發展迅速的南部州
yeah, one more and then I'll move on, you do have a lot more states I'd like to cover but we'll see what she have. Yes
最后一個問題，我要繼續講課了，還有很多州我要跟你們介紹。看看她的問題是什么，請提問
Can we assume that when the population in an arear declines, the remain population has to be older? Absolutely
我們能不能認為當一個地區的人口下降，剩下的人口平均年齡會上升？當然
I'll show you the map, the question is older population and I can show you a map of average age and a lot of these places have, yes, very old population
我會給你看相關的地圖，她的問題與老齡人口有關，我會給你們看一幅平均年齡的地圖，這些區域的人口的確年齡都很大了
Schools are not able to maintain or other downtowns are virtual ghost towns
年輕人少得連學校都無法維持開放，很多小城都幾乎完全被遺棄了
When you do have in these Plains States to it's congregation of people in the more established towns
在這些大平原區域的州人們常常聚集在一些發展較為成熟的城鎮
One geographer said that you can tell if a town is going to survive for there's a Wal-Mart
一個地理學家說要分辨一個城鎮會否被遺棄要看那里有沒開沃爾瑪
They does then there's going to be a magnet and a lot of those place are actually growing, but if it's too small for that, forget it
如果有，說明這個地方還有一定的吸引力，也許它正處于發展期，如果這里人口小到沃爾瑪都不開，那就沒希望了
It's something that neither party has really been doing much to address this issue, so maybe not much could be done
對于這個問題兩黨都沒有做出什么努力去解決它，恐怕這個趨勢難以改變了
Again there are some geographers who suggest the wild back that they recreate a giant national wildlife refuge and restock it with bison
也有一些地理學家建議在這里重新引進野生動物，建一個大型野生動物保護區，飼養北美野牛
Otherwise, just how can you keep it going that was not well received in these areas at all
否則你怎么維持這些地方的發展呢？這些地方是幾乎不被人們承認的
