英語聽力短文《呼吁老年教育》
在我們的社會(huì)，教育都傾斜在孩子與青壯年身上，而老年教育幾乎是被漠視的。下面，為大家送上一篇英語聽力短文《呼吁老年教育》。
英語聽力原文：
Older people must be given more chances to learn if they are to contribute to society rather than be a financial burden, according to a new study on population published recently.
根據(jù)最近發(fā)表的一項(xiàng)新的人口研究報(bào)告顯示：老年人要想不成為社會(huì)的負(fù)擔(dān)，想繼續(xù)發(fā)揮余熱，就必須給他們更多學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會(huì)。
The current approach which focuses on younger people and on kills for employment is not adequate to meet the challenges of demographic change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is currently spent on the oldest third of the population.
該報(bào)告聲稱：現(xiàn)在的教育方法傾向于年輕人和職業(yè)技能，難以應(yīng)付人口結(jié)構(gòu)變化的挑戰(zhàn)。占人口總數(shù)三分之一的老年人只占有百分之一的教育預(yù)算。
The challenges include the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in retirement, that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and that 11.3 million people are over state pension age.
這些挑戰(zhàn)包括：多數(shù)人三分之一的生命將在退休后度過;五十九歲以上人數(shù)高于十六歲以下人數(shù);一千一百三十萬人達(dá)到了國家法定領(lǐng)取退休金年齡。
"Learning needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources on young people cannot meet the new needs," says the report's author, Professor Stephen Mcnair.
報(bào)告的作者史蒂芬·麥克威爾教授說：“學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)該貫穿人生的整個(gè)過程，我們壹仟的政策重心和資源配置更多偏重于年輕人，難以適應(yīng)新的需求。”
The major portion of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. When people are changing their jobs, homes, partners and lifestyles more than ever, they nees opportunities to learn at every age. For example, some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.
教育預(yù)算的大部分花費(fèi)在二十五歲以下的人身上。當(dāng)人們比以前更頻繁地更換工作、居住地、生活伴侶和生活方式的時(shí)候，處在各種年齡段的人們都需要學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)。”例如，有些人到了五十多歲或更遲又重新開始創(chuàng)業(yè)。
People need opportunities to make a "midlife review" to adjust to the later stages of employed life, and to plan for transition to retirement, which may now happen unpredictably at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair.
人們需要一個(gè)“中年回首”的機(jī)會(huì)來適應(yīng)以后的工作生涯，規(guī)劃退休后的角色轉(zhuǎn)化。這種轉(zhuǎn)化現(xiàn)在可以發(fā)生在五十歲到九十多歲的漫長(zhǎng)時(shí)間內(nèi)。
And there should be more money available to support people in establishing a sense of identity and finding constructive roles for the "third age", the 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.
應(yīng)該有更多的資金來保證人們建立身份認(rèn)知和在“第三年齡段”——也就是退休后二十或更多年的健康生活中——找到建設(shè)性角色。
