The Thai capital has bounced to the top of an annual list of the world's most popular travel destinations after spending several years in the wilderness (of second place).
在最新發(fā)布的年度最受歡迎旅游目的地榜單上，泰國首都曼谷重回首位。此前數(shù)年曼谷一直徘徊在榜單第二名。
Its return to the throne came at a cost to London which, after occupying pole position for two years, is trading places with its Asian rival.
曼谷重回首位，而付出代價的是倫敦。倫敦在連續(xù)兩年占據(jù)榜首后，與其亞洲對手城市交換了位置。
Bangkok is projected to host 21.47 million "international overnight visitors" this year, according to the 2016 report by financial services corporation MasterCard.
萬事達金融服務公司公布的2016年度報告顯示，據(jù)預測，曼谷今年將接待2147萬國際游客。
That figure is more than two times the city's population of about 10 million.
這一數(shù)字是曼谷市人口（1000萬）的兩倍多。
Bangkok's 2014-15 fall from the top was largely put down to political instability in recent years.
曼谷在2014-15年排行下降主要是由于近年來的政治不穩(wěn)定。
But there's no escaping Bangkok's allure: a vibrant urban and
culinary scene and proximity to some of the world's most beautiful beaches and islands.
但曼谷的吸引力也顯而易見：充滿生機、食物美味、毗鄰一些世界上最美的海灘和島嶼。
London, meanwhile, is expected to welcome 18.88 million visitors this year.
而倫敦預計今年將接待1888萬名游客。
Paris is in third place with 18.03 million forecast visitors.
巴黎排行第三，預計接待游客1803萬人。
MasterCard says its index reflects the
interconnectedness of major global cities and tracks the ways in which business and leisure
jet-setters spend their money.
萬事達公司表示，其數(shù)據(jù)反映出世界主要大城市的互聯(lián)性，并追蹤了商務和休閑飛機乘客的消費方式。
Ranked fourth with 15.27 million visitors, Dubai "made a quantum leap to become the global top-ranked" in visitor spending, the report says.
報告稱，迪拜排名第四，預計接待游客1527萬人，“突飛猛進，成為全球旅游消費最高的城市”。
Based on a new estimate provided by the government of Dubai, its visitor pending of $31.3 billion this year far exceeds London's estimated $19.8 billion, which comes second.
根據(jù)迪拜政府的最新預測，在迪拜旅游的游客今年將消費313億美元，遠遠超過倫敦游客消費的198億美元。倫敦在游客消費榜單中排名第二。
The report also ranks the top 20 fastest-growing cities between 2009 and 2016, with Japan's Osaka topping the charts with a 24.15% annual growth rate over those seven years, followed by Chengdu in China's Sichuan province at 20.14%, and Abu Dhabi at 19.81%.
