Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I’d like to thank you for inviting me to make some comments on the subject of juvenile crime.

It is obvious that one of the causes of juvenile crime is an unsatisfactory home background. The father or even sometimes both parents may be involved in some form of criminal activity, and this inevitably has a serious impact on the growing child. The child takes conflict with the authorities for granted. The parents may be on bad terms with each other or even get divorced and this puts a great emotional strain on children.

Another cause of teenage crime may be boredom or discontent. Some spoilt middle-class youths regard themselves as revolutionaries of society. They find a certain fulfillment in robbing banks and shops, taking part in gang wars.

Loneliness and alienation in our schools are not new. President Bush called the shooting at the high school in California “a disgraceful act”. I think the shooting is a desperate cry for help. Many “young shooters” are indeed isolated, bullied and humiliated at schools.

老齡問題是最近幾年才提出來的。但是，老年人的問題不是現在才有的。自有文明以來，任何社會都有這個問題。中華民族有著敬老的傳統。當今，我們要解決老齡問題，絕不僅僅是物質待遇方面的問題，而是要認識到它與社會政治、經濟、文化以及整個社會發展的關系。

答案

英譯漢：

下午好，女士們，先生們。我感謝各位邀請我在青少年犯罪這個問題上說幾句。

顯而易見，青少年犯罪的一個原因是不能令人滿意的家庭背景。父親，有的時候甚至父母雙方都卷入某種犯罪行為中，這不可避免地會對成長中的孩子造成嚴重的影響。孩子把同政府當局的對抗沖突當作是理所當然的事。父母雙方彼此關系可能不好甚至離婚，這給孩子帶來很大的感情壓力。

青少年犯罪的另一個原因可能是出于無聊和不滿。一些被寵壞了的中產階級家庭的青少年把自己視作社會的變革者。通過搶劫銀行、商店，參加集體斗毆，他們得到一定的滿足。

孤獨與疏遠在我們的學校里已不是什么新鮮事了。布什總統將發生在加利福尼亞中學里的槍擊事件稱為“無恥的行為”。我認為那次槍擊事件是一種拼命尋求幫助的呼救。很多“校園殺手”確確實實在學校被孤立、欺侮和羞辱。

漢譯英：

The question of old age has been raised only in recent years, yet it has long existed. Ever since the dawn of civilization, society has been confronted with this problem. The Chinese nation has the tradition of respecting the elders. Today to solve the problem of caring for the elderly is not merely a matter of providing material benefit for them; we must realize the relationship between the elderly and society’s political, economic and cultural implications, as well as its relationship with the development of society as a whole.
