印度仍然处于普遍饥饿的严重水平，全球饥饿指数（GHI）在118个发展中国家中排第97.
NEW DELHI: India continues to have serious levels of widespread hunger forcing it to be ranked a lowly 97 among 118 developing countries for which the Global Hunger Index (GHI) was calculated this year.
排名比印度更低的国家有极度贫穷的非洲国家，比如尼日尔、乍得、埃塞俄比亚和塞拉利昂，还有印度的两个邻国阿富汗和巴基斯坦。其他邻国，比如斯里兰卡、孟加拉国、尼泊尔和中国的排名都在印度之上。
Countries worse than India include extremely poor African countries such as Niger, Chad, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone besides two of India’s neighbours: Afghanistan and Pakistan. Other neighbours Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and China are all ranked above India.
全球饥饿指数主要评估4个关键参数，分别是营养不良人口的比例，消瘦和发育不良的5岁以下孩子，同一年龄段的婴儿死亡率。
The GHI is calculated by taking into account four key parameters: shares of undernourished population, wasted and stunted children aged under 5, and infant mortality rate of the same age group.
调查对131个国家进行研究，得到了118个国家的数据。今年，儿童饥饿的两个衡量标准，消瘦和发育不良，让人们能够更全面地了解现状。消瘦指的是体重相对身高太轻，反应了儿童的急性营养不良。发育不良，指的是身高相对年龄太矮，反应了慢性营养不良
Of the 131 countries studied, data was available for 118 countries. This year, for the first time, two measures of child hunger -wasting and stunting -have been used to give a more complete picture. Wasting refers to low weight in relation to a child’s height, reflecting acute undernutrition.Stunting refers to the deficiency in height in relation to age, reflecting chronic undernutrition.
