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

　　The experience of those left with one parent while the other is away working is perhaps not so different from that of the children of single parents in the West. But a study by a non-governmental organization, called the Road to School Project, reckons that 10m left-behind children do not see their parents even once a year and 3m have not had a phone call for a year. About a third of left-behind kids see their parents only once or twice a year, typically on Chinese New Year.

　　那些双亲中有一方去外地打工，只有单亲在身边的孩子与西方国家的单亲家庭的孩子的成长经历是一样的。但是由一项非政府组织的名叫通往学校之路的研究估计，1千万留守儿童甚至一年到头都见不到父母，3百万留守儿童一年都不会和父母通一次电话。1/3的留守儿童每年见到父母的次数只有一次或者两次，基本上是在春节相见。

　　Though any child may be left behind, there are some patterns. The youngest children are the most likely to be left, and girls are slightly more likely to be left than boys. This preference for taking boys along means that in cities the preponderance of boys over girls that has been produced by sex-selective abortions is exaggerated further. Anecdotal evidence suggests that an unusual number of left-behind children have siblings. One reason for this is that China’s one-child policy has been implemented less strictly in the countryside, and so more rural families have two children to leave behind.

　　尽管任何孩子都可能被“留守”，但留守儿童却有一些典型特征。最小的孩子往往被“留守”，女孩比男孩留守的可能性更大。家长带着男孩进城意味着城市中男孩数量相对过多，这将进一步扩大由于性别选择人流造成的男女比例失衡。非官方消息表明，留守儿童的数量比官方统计的更多，而且他们还有兄弟姐妹。其中原因之一是，中国的计划生育政策在农村实施的不严格，因此很多农村家庭有两个留守儿童。

　　It is not yet possible to say whether the phenomenal level of leaving behind found in the late 2000s persists. There is some evidence that with the slowdown in the economy migrant laborers are starting to drift back to their villages. But even if the trend has slowed, the dislocation still represents a third blow to the traditional Chinese family. First came the one-child-policy. Then the enormously distorted sex ratio. Now a mass abandonment.

　　很难说2000年底发现的留守儿童现象是否还继续存在。有证据表明，随着经济增长放缓，劳动移民正在返回他们的村子。但即使这种趋势放缓，劳动移民造成的混乱的仍然是给中国传统家庭带来的第三个打击。第一是计划生育政策，其次是极大扭曲的性别比例，现在则是大量父母对孩子的离弃。
