>UN report warns of ‘dramatic worsening’ of hunger
疫情致全球饥饿人口增加

The year 2020 saw a dramatic worsening of world hunger, which affected an estimated 720 million to 811 million people, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization said in a statement on Monday. The warning came with the launch of "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021". The report, drafted by the FAO in cooperation with other four UN agencies, urged the global community to act swiftly to help the world get back on track to reach Goal 2 of the Sustainable Development Agenda, which is to end hunger and malnutrition by 2030.
联合国粮食及农业组织等五家联合国机构7月12日联合发布2021年度世界粮食安全和营养状况报告指出，2020年，全球饥饿状况急剧恶化，估计有7.2亿至8.11亿人受到影响。报告敦促国际社会迅速采取行动，帮助世界重回实现可持续发展目标2的轨道，即到2030年消除饥饿和营养不良。

Last year, global hunger grew in both absolute and proportional terms, outpacing the population growth.
去年，全球饥饿的绝对人数和比例都在增长，速度超过了人口增长。

"Some 9.9 percent of all people are estimated to have been undernourished last year, up from 8.4 percent in 2019," the report said.
报告称：”据估计，去年约有9.9%的人营养不良，高于2019年的8.4%。”

If current trends are maintained, the UN agencies estimated Goal 2 would be missed "by a margin of nearly 660 million people."
根据当前趋势估算，要在2030年实现可持续发展目标2，还需解决近6.6亿人的饥饿问题。

Further data showed children remained the most exposed in the pandemic year, as more than 149 million of those aged under five were estimated to have been stunted, another 45 million too thin, and nearly 39 million overweight.
进一步的数据显示，在2020年，儿童仍然是受影响最大的群体：据估计，在5岁以下儿童中，超过1.49亿人发育不良，4500万人过瘦，近3900万人超重。
