名校勵(lì)志英語(yǔ)演講 第57期:拯救世界 拯救兒童

[00:00.14]And yet, less than 33% of British children ages two to eight have a regular bedtime story read to them. 然而英國(guó)只有不到33%的2至8歲的孩子能固定地在晚上睡覺(jué)前聽(tīng)段故事。 [00:09.53]You may not think much of that until you take into account that 75% of their parents DID have that bedtime story when they were that age. 如果大家想想75%的家長(zhǎng)在那個(gè)年齡的時(shí)候都能在睡前聽(tīng)故事，那么你們可能就會(huì)深思。 [00:23.39]Clearly, we do not have to ask ourselves where all of this pain, anger and violent behavior comes from. 顯然，我們沒(méi)必要問(wèn)自己所有這些痛苦、憤怒和暴力行為從何而來(lái)。 [00:30.52]It is self-evident that children are thundering against the neglect, quaking against the indifference and crying out just to be noticed. 顯然，孩子們正在對(duì)這種忽視發(fā)出怒吼，以對(duì)抗來(lái)自長(zhǎng)輩的漠視，他們大聲疾呼只是為了引起注意。 [00:40.33]The various child protection agencies in the US say that millions of children are； 在美國(guó)，各種兒童保護(hù)機(jī)構(gòu)表示，平均每年有數(shù)百萬(wàn)兒童 [00:46.05]victims of maltreatment in the form of neglect, in the average year. Yes, neglect. 成為被忽視的受害者。沒(méi)錯(cuò)，是被忽視的受害者！ [00:54.27]In rich homes, privileged homes, wired to the hilt with every electronic gadget. 富有的家庭，享有特權(quán)是家庭，完全被電子器件束縛了。 [00:59.46]Homes where parents come home, but they're not really home, because their heads are still at the office. 父母回到了家里，可是他們的心并不在家里，他們還想著工作上的事情。 [01:07.09]And their kids? Well, their kids just make do with whatever emotional crumbs they get. 那孩子們呢？啊，他們只好以所能得到的破碎的愛(ài)勉強(qiáng)生活。 [01:12.50]And you don't get much from endless TV, computer games and videos. 在無(wú)休止的電視節(jié)目、電腦游戲和錄像帶上又能得到多少感情呢！ [01:19.35]These hard, cold numbers which for me, wrench the soul and shake the spirit, 我覺(jué)得，這些扭曲靈魂震撼心靈的冷酷無(wú)情的數(shù)字正好可以讓大家明白， [01:24.57]should indicate to you why I have devoted so much of my time and resources into making our new Heal the Kids initiative a colossal success. 我為什么要花費(fèi)這么多的時(shí)間和資源來(lái)使我們新成立的拯救兒童組織一開(kāi)始就能獲得巨大成功。
