根据国际咨询公司美世发布的2018年城市消费调查，如今亚洲一些城市已成为外国移居者生活花费最高的地方。

Top of that list is Hong Kong, which reclaimed the title it last held in 2016 by bumping Angolan capital Luanda off the top spot.

Not surprising for a city where even a parking space can cost $760,000.

中国香港击败去年的榜单冠军安哥拉首都罗安达排在榜首。

上次香港排名居首是在2016年。

东京排在第2、新加坡第4、首尔第5、上海第7、北京第9。

Yvonne Traber, Mercer's global mobility product solutions leader, says Asia's strong showing is partly down to economic performance.

美世全球流动产品解决方案总监伊冯·特拉伯表示，亚洲城市排名靠前部分是由于其经济表现。

"Stronger Chinese monetary regulation, a flourishing economy and a push to have the Chinese yuan as an international currency pushed Chinese cities up the ranking," she says.

"However significant surges in other locations worldwide caused Japanese cities, Osaka and Nagoya in particular, to fall in this year's ranking.

"她说：中国强有力的货币调控、繁荣的经济和人民币国际化推高了城市排名。

但全球其他城市的显著提升导致日本城市排名下降，特别是大阪和名古屋。

”Mercer's ranking of 209 global destinations is based on a "basket" of 200 ticket items that reflect the cost of living for expatriates.

该榜单可供跨国公司计算派驻国外员工的薪水。

New York City -- the highest placed -- fell four spots to 13, followed by San Francisco at 28 and Los Angeles at 35.

纽约在美国城市中排名最高，排在第13位，比去年下滑4位。

排在之后的美国城市是旧金山(28位)和洛杉矶(35位)。

European cities were largely climbing the ranks, says Mercer, due to strong local currencies.

Paris jumped 28 places to 34, Rome was up 34 places to 46 and Madrid climbed to 64.

美世公司称，由于货币表现强劲，欧洲城市排名大幅攀升。

巴黎排名升至34位，比去年提升28位。

Numerous Middle East destinations fell down the ranking due, says Traber, to decreases on rental costs.

The highest city in the region was Tel Aviv at number 16.

特拉维夫在中东城市中排名最高，排在第16位。

乌兹别克斯坦的塔什干在消费榜排名垫底，其次是突尼斯的突尼斯市、吉尔吉斯斯坦的比什凯克、冈比亚的班珠尔和巴基斯坦的卡拉奇。
