And a gain in Texas and Florida and Georgia and North Carolina
也有上升的,如德州和佛罗里达州、乔治亚州和北卡罗来纳州
and in these certainly Arizona, the more rapidly growing Sun Belt states
当然还有亚利桑那州,这都是发展迅速的南部州
yeah, one more and then I'll move on, you do have a lot more states I'd like to cover but we'll see what she have. Yes
最后一个问题,我要继续讲课了,还有很多州我要跟你们介绍。看看她的问题是什么,请提问
Can we assume that when the population in an arear declines, the remain population has to be older? Absolutely
我们能不能认为当一个地区的人口下降,剩下的人口平均年龄会上升?当然
I'll show you the map, the question is older population and I can show you a map of average age and a lot of these places have, yes, very old population
我会给你看相关的地图,她的问题与老龄人口有关,我会给你们看一幅平均年龄的地图,这些区域的人口的确年龄都很大了
Schools are not able to maintain or other downtowns are virtual ghost towns
年轻人少得连学校都无法维持开放,很多小城都几乎完全被遗弃了
When you do have in these Plains States to it's congregation of people in the more established towns
在这些大平原区域的州人们常常聚集在一些发展较为成熟的城镇
One geographer said that you can tell if a town is going to survive for there's a Wal-Mart
一个地理学家说要分辨一个城镇会否被遗弃要看那里有没开沃尔玛
They does then there's going to be a magnet and a lot of those place are actually growing, but if it's too small for that, forget it
如果有,说明这个地方还有一定的吸引力,也许它正处于发展期,如果这里人口小到沃尔玛都不开,那就没希望了
It's something that neither party has really been doing much to address this issue, so maybe not much could be done
对于这个问题两党都没有做出什么努力去解决它,恐怕这个趋势难以改变了
Again there are some geographers who suggest the wild back that they recreate a giant national wildlife refuge and restock it with bison
也有一些地理学家建议在这里重新引进野生动物,建一个大型野生动物保护区,饲养北美野牛
Otherwise, just how can you keep it going that was not well received in these areas at all
否则你怎么维持这些地方的发展呢?这些地方是几乎不被人们承认的
