The Social Progress Index sums all this together using 52 indicators to create an aggregate score on a scale of 0 to 100.
“社會進步指數”用52個指標把這些都集中到了一起，算出了一個百分制的總分。
And what we find is that there's a wide diversity of performance in the world today.
然后我們發現了今天的世界上的國家有各種各樣的成績。
The highest performing country, Norway, scores 88.
成績最高的國家是挪威，88分。
The lowest performing country, Central African Republic, scores 31.
成績最低的國家是中非共和國，31分。
And we can add up all the countries together, weighting for the different population sizes, and that global score is 61.
我們可以把所有的國家都放在一起，考量它們具有不同的人口規模的因素后，得到全球的平均值是61分。
In concrete terms, that means that the average human being
形象化地說，這意味著現在世界平均值的水平
is living on a level of social progress about the same of Cuba or Kazakhstan today.
是我們人類正生活在像今天的古巴或者哈薩克斯坦這樣的國家里。
That's where we are today: 61 out of 100.
我們的現實就是這樣：百分制中的61分。
What do we have to get to to achieve the Global Goals?
那我們如果要實現全球目標需要什么呢？
Now, the Global Goals are certainly ambitious, but they're not about turning the world into Norway in just 15 years.
其實，這些全球目標真的很宏大，但是這些目標不是說要在15年間把全世界都變成挪威那樣。
So having looked at the numbers, my estimate is that a score of 75 would not only be a giant leap forward in human well-being,
看看這些數字，我做出的預測是75分，達到這個分數不僅僅是一個關于人類福祉的巨大飛躍，
it would also count as hitting the Global Goals target.
也是一個可以實現全球目標的切實奮斗點。
So there's our target, 75 out of 100. Can we get there?
這就是我們的目標，百分制中的75分。我們能實現嗎？
Well, the Social Progress Index can help us calculate this,
那么，“社會進步指數”可以幫助我們算出來，
because as you might have noticed, there are no economic indicators in there;
因為也許你已經注意到了，這里沒有任何的經濟指標；
there's no GDP or economic growth in the Social Progress Index model.
在“社會進步指數”模型中沒有國內生產總值或經濟增長的指標。
And what that lets us do is understand the relationship between economic growth and social progress.
這就要讓我們弄明白經濟增長和社會進步之間的關系。
