世界上含金量最高的护照在哪里
It is not much comfort to those holidaymakers who are cancelling trips because they haven't received their passports in time – but the UK travel document is one of the most powerful in the world.
对那些度假者来说，因为没及时拿到签证而取消行程绝对是件懊恼的事——但英国人的烦恼要少得多，因为他们的护照堪称是世界上含金量最高的护照之一。
British passport holders can enter more countries in the world than America, Canada, Australia and Germany.
比起美国，加拿大，澳大利亚和德国，英国护照的持有者能自由出入更多的国家。
In fact, UK passport holders have the best access to foreign countries in the world, along with Finland and Sweden, according to this information put together by GOOD Magazine.
根据GOOD杂志搜集的信息来看，实际上，和芬兰瑞典一样，英国护照持有者享有世界上最方便的前往国外的便利。
The two Nordic countries and Great Britain can visit 173 countries using their passports, enjoying visa-free access or simply getting a visa on arrival.
这两个北欧国家和英国的护照持有者可以前往173个国家，享受免签入境或落地签证。
In comparison, US citizens and Germans can visit 172 and Canadians can only visit 170 and Australians 168.

While, South America has moderate access and people in Asia and Africa struggle to travel at all.
南美洲人出国的便利程度居中，而亚洲和非洲人们很难跨出国门。
The nation with the least power in their passport is Afghanistan, with citizens only able to visit 28 countries without a visa, or being given a visa on arrival.
护照含金量最低的国家是阿富汗，阿富汗公民只能获得28个国家的免签或落地签证待遇。
Iraq, Pakistan and Somalia also come bottom, with access to just 31 or 32 countries.
伊拉克，巴基斯坦和索马里的此项排名垫后，他们只能免签前往31或32个国家。
