根据一份新报告，美国城市在全球经济排名中名列前茅，但在生活质量方面仍有提升空间。
Cities in the US rank high globally in terms of economics, but they have some ground to cover in quality of life, according to a new report.
为编制其2026年全球城市指数，经济咨询公司牛津经济（Oxford Economics）依据五个类别——经济、人力资本、环境和生活质量——对全球1000座城市进行排名。
For its 2026 Global Cities Index, economic advisory firm Oxford Economics ranked 1,000 cities across the globe based on five categories: economics, human capital, environment, and quality of life.
每个类别均从经济角度审视，即便是生活质量，其指标也包括收入平等和住房支出等。
Every category is viewed from an economic lens, even quality of life, where indicators include income equality and housing expenditure, among others.
牛津经济城市服务董事总经理马克·布里顿（Mark Britton）在报告中表示：“全球城市指数记录了城市在全面指标范围内取得的进展。”
"The Global Cities Index records the progress cities are making across a comprehensive range of metrics," Mark Britton, managing director of city services at Oxford Economics, said in the report.
“与我们的预测和情景模型并存，其凸显不同条件下路径变化的能力及其可比性，不仅能显示城市当前的位置，还能显示其未来方向。”
"Sitting alongside our forecasts and scenario models, its ability to highlight how paths change under different conditions and its capacity for comparability shows you not just where cities stand today, but also where they are heading."
总榜单中有多座美国城市进入前20名——确切来说是八座，其中纽约位列第一。然而，当具体聚焦生活质量时，仅有一座美国城市入围。
The overall list features several US cities in the top 20 — eight, to be exact, with New York taking the No. 1 spot. However, when highlighting quality of life specifically, only one US city made the cut.
生活质量占城市总分的25%，在美国并非亮点，但许多其他城市在此类别中表现出色。请参阅牛津经济列出的生活质量排名最高的城市。
Quality of life, which accounts for 25% of a city's overall score, wasn't a bright spot for the US, but plenty of other cities excelled in that category. See which cities ranked highest in quality of life, according to Oxford Economics.
