Europe sets date when deaths overtake births: 7 years[answerfly]1[/answerfly]

七年后欧洲将出现人口衰退

[1]The findings come in an official EU study, which concedes for the first time that Europeans will begin their long foreseen demographic decline in just seven years' time - the point at which deaths exceed births.
[1]欧盟官方研究报告第一次承认，7年以后欧洲将开始出现人们早就预见到的人口衰退——即死亡人数超过出生人数。

[2]The report, published by the European Union's statistical agency Eurostat, reveals large variations between the birth rates of member states. But it does hint the profound economic and social changes likely to unfold during the next half century. According to the document, not only would Germany lose its status as Europe's most populous nation but several East European nations would experience a sharp drop in numbers - with populations shrinking by a quarter or more. By contrast Cyprus, Ireland and Luxembourg would all boost their numbers by at least half.
[2]欧盟统计局公布的报告透露，成员国之间的出生率存在很大差异，暗示了今后50年人口不断老化可能带来的深远的经济和社会变化。报告说，不仅德国将失去其欧洲人口最多国家的地位，好几个东欧国家的人口也会明显减少--人口减少1/4或更多。相反，塞浦路斯、爱尔兰和卢森堡的人口都会至少增加一半。

[3]Immigration would not, on current trends, make up the shortfall in the working age population.
[3]根据目前的趋势，移民并不会弥补工作年龄段人口的不足。

[4]Now with a combined total of 495 million people, the 27 nations that make up the EU would increase their population to a total of 521 million in 2035 before falling back to 506 million in 2060.
[4]欧盟27个国家目前总人口为4.95亿，到2035年将增加到5.21亿，然后在2060年将减少到5.06亿。

[5]The Eurostat report says that in 2008, in the EU's 27 nations, "there are four persons of working age (15-64 years old) for every person aged 65 years or over." In 2060 "the ratio is expected to be two to one."
[5]报告说，今年在欧盟27个国家，"每一个65岁以上的人对应着4个工作年龄段(15-64岁)的人"，但是到2060年，"这个比率估计只有1比2"。

这里in just seven years\' time翻译有什么讲究吗，能不能翻成七年内

好东西，感谢分享

【2】欧盟统计局提交的报告，显示了各成员国间不同且多样的出生比率。
这意味着在接下来的半个世纪里欧洲会展开深刻的经济和社会改变。
依据这份文件，德国不仅会丧失其欧洲第一人口大国的地位，而且一些东欧国家的人口将经历一个明显的下降－其人口将至少收缩四分之一。
相比较之下，Cyprus, Ireland 和Luxembourg的人口至少暴涨一半。

谢谢楼主了，支持

主持楼主！
