　　Ireland and Canada were tied for the third place. Ireland is one of the many nations where women are more likely to help a stranger than men. Canadians' higher rank than Americans is based largely on their giving more money to charities. Canada has more government-led charity campaigns than the US.

　　爱尔兰和加拿大并列第三。在爱尔兰，很多国家，女性都比男性更倾向于帮助陌生人，爱尔兰是其中之一。加拿大人排在美国前面的主要原因在于，他们向慈善事业捐的钱比较多。在加拿大，由政府领导的慈善事业也要比美国多。

　　New Zealand and Australia tied for first place with WGI scores of 57 percent. The WGI report stated that New Zealand and Australia have a history of emphasizing the importance of donating to those less fortunate. In both countries, philanthropy is strongly supported by the government.

　　新西兰和澳大利亚捐助指数达到57%。捐助指数报告称，这两个国家历来都重视为那些幸运的人给予捐助，慈善事业也得到政府的大力支持。
