托福阅读素材：Little match children 卖火柴的孩子们

2016-04-06 11:55:43来源：网络

　　Just over half of the 61m counted in 2010 were living with one parent while the other spouse was away working; 29m had been left in the care of others. Mostly the carers were grandparents, but about 6m were being looked after by more distant relatives or by the state (that number includes orphans and children with disabilities who have been abandoned). There were 2m children who, like the little match children of Bijie, had been left just to fend for themselves.

　　2010年统计数据表明，在6100万儿童中，刚过半数与单亲一起居住，而另一方则在外地打工;2900万儿童则被交给他人抚养。大部分的抚养人时这些孩子的爷爷奶奶，但仍有大约6百万儿童则被远亲或是国家抚养(这一统计数据中包括孤儿和被遗弃的残疾儿童)。跟毕节那“卖火柴的孩子”的情况类似，有两百万儿童只得自食其力。

　　Not all parents who up sticks to look for work leave their kids behind: in the 2010 figures 36m children had gone to live with their migrating families in cities. But this has its own problems; very few of these children can go to a state school or see a state doctor at subsidized prices in their new homes. Moreover, their hard-working parents often cannot look after the children. Without grandparents or a state school to keep an eye on them, such migrant children can be just as neglected as those left behind in the country.

　　但也不是所有在外出务工的家长都抛下了他们的孩子：2010年的统计数据表明，3600万孩子随他们的父母一起到城市生活。但这也有其弊端;这些孩子几乎无法进入公立学校，抑或是在城市的公立医院看病且享有补助。更严重的是，他们忙碌的家长时常无法照看他们。脱离了爷爷奶奶与公立学校的看管，这些劳务移民的孩子被忽视的程度与那些留守儿童一样。

　　受伤害的一代人

　　On top of that there were about 9m left behind in one city when one or both parents had moved to another. Add it all up and, in 2010, 106m children’s lives were being profoundly disrupted by their parents’ restless search for jobs. For comparison, the total number of children in the United States is 73m. And the proportion of these children who were left behind, rather than migrating with their parents, grew a great deal in the late 2000s.

　　此外，大约有9百万城市留守儿童当其单亲或是双亲前往外地工作时，被留守在城市中。由于他们的父母焦虑不安的寻找工作，仅在2010年，总计就有1.06亿儿童的生活受到了极大的影响。相比较而言，美国儿童的总数也只有7300万。留守儿童所占总数的比例从2000年底开始飞速增长。
