Crime generates an estimated $2.1 trillion in global annual proceeds — or 3.6 percent of the world's gross domestic product — and the problem may be growing, a United Nations official said on Monday, Reuters reported. 据路透社报道，周一，联合国的一名官员表示，犯罪活动的全球年收入约达2.1万亿美元，占全世界国内生产总值的3.6%，该问题可能会进一步恶化。 "It makes the criminal business one of the largest economies in the world, one of the top 20 economies," said Yury Fedotov, head of the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), describing it as a threat to security and economic development. 联合国毒品和犯罪办事处处长尤里·费多托夫说：“这使得违法生意成为世界上最大的经济体之一，位列20强。”他还说，该问题是对安全和经济发展的危险。 The figure was calculated recently, for the first time, by the UNODC and World Bank, based on the data for 2009. 最近，联合国毒品和犯罪办事处和世界银行用2009年的数据首次算出了这一数字。 Fedotov said that annually up to $40 billion is lost through corruption in developing countries, and illicit incomes from human trafficking amounts to $32 billion every year. 费多托夫说，每年发展中国家因腐败损失400亿美元，贩卖人口产生的非法收入每年高达320亿美元。 "According to some estimates, at any one time, 2.4 million people suffer the misery of human trafficking, a shameful crime of modern day slavery," he said. |
