Moreover, like official US assistance, a relatively small share of American private philanthropy ordinarily goes to the poorest countries. In contrast, the countries that are most generous – Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and tiny Luxemburg – give proportionately far more than American governmental and private assistance combined, and the lion’s share of their aid goes to the world’s most impoverished countries.
此外，和美国的官方援助一样，美国国民慈善募捐中也只有相对较小的一部分送至最贫穷的国家。与此形成鲜明对比，那些非常慷慨的国家――挪威、瑞典、丹麦、荷兰和小国卢森堡――在比例上远远超出了美国政府及个人的援助总和，拿出援助资金的最大份额来帮助世界上最贫穷的国家。
