But that ain't easy, because the Global Goals aren't just ambitious, they're also pretty complicated.
這并不容易，因為這些全球目標不僅僅很宏大，它們同樣也很復雜。
Over 17 goals, there are then 169 targets and literally hundreds of indicators.
17個大目標下有169個小目標，并且不夸張地說，還有好幾百個指標。
Also, while some of the goals are pretty specific -- end hunger
同時，其中的一些目標是特別明確的，比如解決饑餓問題，
others are a lot vaguer -- promote peaceful and tolerant societies.
其他的一些則是比較模糊的，比如促進建設和平寬容的社會。
So to help us with this benchmarking, I'm going to use a tool called the Social Progress Index.
所以為了我們更好地認識這項研究，我要引用一個名為“社會進步指數”的工具。
What this does is measures all the stuff the Global Goals are trying to achieve,
這個工具的作用就是計算出全球目標要達到的所有指標，
but sums it up into a single number that we can use as our benchmark and track progress over time.
然后把他們組合起來變成一串數字以便我們研究，并且實時查出我們的進步。
The Social Progress Index basically asks three fundamental questions about a society.
“社會進步指數”主要提了關于社會的三個基本問題。
First of all, does everyone have the basic needs of survival: food, water, shelter, safety?
第一：所有人都否都有基本生存下來的條件:食物、水、住所和安全？
Secondly, does everyone have the building blocks of a better life: education, information, health and a sustainable environment?
第二：是不是所有人都能為自己更好的生活添磚加瓦，包括教育、通訊、健康和可持續發展的環境等等。
And does everyone have the opportunity to improve their lives,
還有一點：是不是每個人都有改善他們生活條件的機會。
through rights, freedom of choice, freedom from discrimination, and access to the world's most advanced knowledge?
在權利、選擇的自由、不受任何歧視的自由和可以接觸到世界先進知識等方面的機會。
