论文部分内容阅读
南京大学的学生崔醒给我们发来了一封信。她说最近她在网上读到了一篇文章,题目是 Bad U.S.Housing Hurts Children’s Health(糟糕的住房损害了儿童的健康)。这个题目就具有不凡的吸引力。她一口气读完了此文,大惑且大疑。因为,文章开门见山地说: The United States may be the world’s last superpower,but hundreds ofthousands of its children suffer from disease,hunger,serious injuries and pooreducation—all due to substandard(不合规格的)housing,a report issuedWednesday says. 她说,读了此段,好像在讲发生在第三世界的故事。美国的儿童怎么可能为疾病、饥饿、严重的伤害和可怜的教育所困呢? 更令人难以置信的是,文章数字翔实,描述具体: 21,000 children suffer from stunted(成长受妨碍的)growth and 120,000children are anemic(贫血的)because their families cannot afford healthy fooddue to high rents.It says that 10,000 children between the agss of 4 and 9 arehospitalized for asthma(哮喘)attacks each year because of cockroach(蟑螂)infestation(群袭)at home. 崔醒在信中说,我们这一代年青人坚决不信“外国的月亮比中国的圆”那一类的“邪”。然而,美国,在我们的?

She said that reading this paragraph seems to be telling the story of the third world. How can children in the United States be trapped by illness, hunger, severe injuries, and poor education? Even more incredible is the fact that the articles are informative and detailed: 21,000 children suffer from stunted growth and 120,000 Children are anemic because their families cannot raise healthy food due to high rents.It says that 10,000 children between the agss of 4 and 9 arehospitalized for asthma attacks each year because of cockroach(蟑螂)infestation(群袭) At home, Cui Wing said in the letter that our generation of young people firmly reject the “evil” of “the foreign moon is more than the Chinese circle”.
