在英国，发现最理想的邮编坐标
The study, commissioned by Royal Mail, analysed factors such as jobs, health, education and crime.
英国皇家邮政在工作、健康、教育和犯罪率等方面对英国各地进行了分析。
The UK's most desirable postcodes, based on criteria including crime, jobs and health, have been revealed by Royal Mail.
参照犯罪率、就业和健康等方面的标准，英国皇家邮政评出了英国最理想的邮政编码。
Out of around 1.8 million postcodes in the UK today, the SP9 postcode of Tidworth in Wiltshire scored top marks in England, while South Glasgow (G44) came first in Scotland and Brynteg on Anglesey (LL78) was said to have the most desirable postcode in Wales.
目前英国大约有180万个邮政编码，其中位于威尔特郡，邮编为SP9的蒂德沃思名列首位，南格拉斯哥（邮编G44）为苏格兰第一，而安格尔西岛（邮编LL78）则是威尔士最理想的邮编坐标。
The study, by the Centre for Economic and Business Research, was commissioned to mark the 40th anniversary of the allocation of postcodes to every address in Britain, which the Royal Mail said “revolutionised” the way post was sorted and delivered.
研究由英国经济与商业研究中心开展，以纪念英国向国内各地分配邮编40周年。皇家邮政表示，此举“彻底改变了”邮件分类和寄送的方式。
Each area was assessed on a range of factors including employment opportunities, health, education, crime rates and housing affordability.
每个地区会根据一系列因素参与评选，包括就业机会、健康、教育、犯罪率以及购房承受力。
Completing the top three postcodes in England were the Hampshire village of Yateley (GU46) and the seaside resort of St Bees in Cumbria (CA27). In Scotland Erskine (PA8) and Largs (KA30) were in second and third place, while in Wales it was Llantwit Major (CF61) and Llanidloes (SY18).
参与角逐英格兰地区头三名的是位于汉普郡的亚特里（邮编GU46）和位于坎布里亚郡的海滨胜地圣比斯岛（邮编CA27）。在苏格兰地区，厄斯金（邮编PA8）和拉格斯镇（邮编KA30）分列二、三名，威尔士地区则是兰特威特马哲（邮编CF61）和拉尼德洛伊斯镇（邮编SY18）。

Steve Rooney, head of Royal Mail's address management unit, said: “The invention of the postcode revolutionised the way post is sorted and delivered. As it has evolved, the postcodes have also revolutionised the way companies do business.
史蒂夫·鲁尼是英国皇家邮政的地址管理部负责人，他说道：“邮政编码的发明彻底改变了邮件分类和寄送的方式。随着这一变革，邮编同时也改变了企业经营的方式。”
"The postcode is now used by businesses and individuals in their everyday activities, whether that is verifying a person's address when making a transaction or planning a route on a sat-nav system."
“现在，企业和个人在日常生活中都要用到邮编，不管是用于验证地址，进行交易，还是计划出游时查询卫星导航系统都需要它。”
Overall, there are 48 million postcodes available under Royal Mail's alpha-numeric system. The combination of letters and numbers was chosen because people can remember a mixture of numbers and letters more easily than a list of numbers and it gives more code combinations.
皇家邮政的字母-数字编码系统如今共分配了4千8百万有效邮编。之所以选择字母加数字的邮编形式，是因为相比纯数字，人们更容易记住这种组合形式，而且这种方式能提供更多组合。
