To help us mere mortals HSBC has used a complex but fascinating analysis of economic systems,
為了便于我們普通人了解，匯豐銀行進行了一次復雜卻又引人入勝的分析，分析了各國的經濟體系、
industries, infrastructure and serious number crunching,
產業狀況、基礎設施以及重要的經濟數據
to project the wealth of countries (GDP and per capita income) in 2050.
從而預估2050年各個國家的經濟實力（國內生產總值和人均收入）。
10: Canada
10.加拿大
Canada will have an economy worth $2.29 trillion by 2050 and a projected per capita income of $51,485.
到2050年，加拿大經濟將達到2.29萬億美元，預估人均收入51485美元。
That Canada stays put (it remains in tenth position) is to its credit,
加拿大保持前十值得表揚，
or to the credit of its renowned healthy banking system which is said to be one of the most resilient in the world.
或者表彰加拿大聞名的健全銀行體系，據說這是世界上最具彈性的銀行體系之一。
9: France
9.法國
The size of France's economy will be $2.75 trillion, and it will have a projected per capita income of $40,643.
法國的經濟規模到時候會有2.75萬億，人均收入也會達到40643美元。
There will be tough times ahead for France though,
但是法國的前方仍有很艱難的路要走，
as it struggles to cope with (continuing) sluggish growth and demographic challenges (decline in working population),
在努力應對（持續）緩慢增長和人口挑戰（工作人口下降）之際，
and it will drop three places in the economic league table to ninth position,
經濟排行榜將下降三位排至第九位，
surpassed by countries such as Mexico, India and Brazil.
被像墨西哥，印度和巴西等國超過。
8: Mexico
8.墨西哥
Mexico is the second Latin American entrant to the pantheon of putative economic powerhouses.
墨西哥是第二個進入公認的拉丁美洲經濟強國萬神殿之列。
With a projected GDP of $2.81 trillion and a per capita income of $21,793.
墨西哥國內生產總值預估2.81萬億，人均收入21793美元。
Prospects look extremely good for Mexico:
墨西哥的前景非常好：
its current president Enrique Nieto is spearheading a number of wide-ranging reforms
該國現任總統恩里克·尼托正進行一些廣泛的改革，
from telecommunications to energy that will boost the country's long-term productivity and prosperity.
從通訊行業到能源，這些能促進墨西哥長期經濟生產力和繁榮的方面都有改革。
7: Brazil
7.巴西
Brazil is a surprise entry in the top ten – given its past experiences of inflation levels of over 500 percent.
鑒于巴西過去通貨膨脹率曾超過500%，所以巴西能進到前十很令人意外。
With a GDP projected at $2.96 trillion and a per capita income of $13,547,
預計GDP2.96萬億，人均收入13547美元。
Brazil will be the seventh-most powerful economy on the planet.
巴西將是地球上排名第七的經濟強國。
And it will be a pretty sizeable economy too – Brazil's population is expected to reach in excess of 200 million.
巴西將是一個相當大的經濟體——巴西的人口預估會超過2億。
It won't be all sunshine and carnivals though:
但是巴西不是只有陽光和狂歡節：
the country's per capita income is expected to drop from 52nd place to 61st.
巴西的人均收入預計會從52名掉到61名。
6: United Kingdom
6.英國
The UK's projected 2050 GDP is $3.58 trillion, with a per capita income of $49,412.
英國2050年的GDP是35800億，人均收入49412美元。
The current gap between British economic wealth and that of Germany will narrow significantly by 2050
英德之間的經濟差距到2050年會顯著縮小
(from a $346 billion gap to a $138 billion gap),
（從3460億縮小到1380億的差距），
with the UK boosted by a projected year on year percentage growth in the working population.
歸因于英國預估的就業人口會逐年增長。
The UK is projected to fall in the economic league table by just one position, so it's hanging in there.
預計英國在經濟排行榜上只跌了一個位置，所以它算維持名次。
