帕勞群島：世界大麻之鄉？

By Richard Knight BBC News BBC新聞理查•奈特

A small group of Pacific islands with the population of a small town has been named as the country with the highest consumption of beer and cannabis. Is that really true? 一小群太平洋島嶼，只擁有了一個小鎮的人口，確被命名為世界上消費啤酒和大麻最多的國家。這真的是事實嗎？

The United Nations' 2012 World Drugs Report, published in June, contains at least one surprising number - the nation with the highest level of cannabis use among adults is Palau.

六月份發佈的聯合國2012年世界毒品報告包含了至少一個驚人的數字—世界上成年人吸食大麻比例最高的國家是帕勞群島。

This tiny island nation in the western Pacific Ocean is home to just 21,000 people, where - according to the UN - a quarter of adults use cannabis.

據聯合國報導，這個西太平洋上的小島國是兩萬一千人的故鄉，--同時也有四分之一的成年人吸食大麻。
