UK population英國人口

The population of the UK passed the 60 million mark some time last week, according to the British press.人口英國通過六千萬馬克一些時間，上週，據英國媒體。 Growing up it had always been listed as 56m, so there’s an extra 4m people here since I was a kid.成長，它一直被列為56米，因此額外四米這裡的人們，因為我是一個孩子。 I wonder who the 60 millionth person was and did they win one of those prizes like shoppers get when they’re supposedly the millionth customer?我不知道是誰第六千萬人，並贏得他們的其中一個，這些獎品一樣，購物時得到他們理應該百萬分之一的客戶？

Of course, populations are a perfect target for significant figures.當然，人口是一個完美的目標，顯著的數字。 How can we really know the exact population of any geographic location.我們如何能真正了解的確切人口的任何地理位置。 There’s always going to be a few births and deaths while you’re counting, not forgetting those leaving our shores forever on a plane or a group of refugees semi-suffocated in a shipping container finding their way into new life of poverty and desperation in their host country.還有的始終要數出生和死亡，而您票，不要忘記那些離開我們的海岸永遠在一個平面或一組難民半窒息在一個集裝箱設法進入新生活的貧窮和絕望在他們的所在國。

Indeed, no sooner had the news of the 60m mark being passed than the media was reporting that this figure was 1.4m too low, because of miscounting of illegal immigrants.事實上，沒有遲早有新聞的六十米馬克正在通過比媒體報導說，這個數字是1.4米太低，因為miscounting的非法入境者。

Still, we can always rely on Google to give us the “true” number - search UK population and you’ll get the figure 60,441,457, as pulled from the CIA Fact Book, each one a significant figure.仍然，我們總能依靠在Google上給我們“真正”的數目-搜索英國人口與您獲得的將是數字6 0441457，拉從中情局事實上本書，每一個顯著的數字。

Of course, this will have changed markedly when you next look!當然，這將有明顯變化當您下次看！
