2011在职联考英语每日一练（十一）

英翻汉：

　　Families have also experienced changes these years. More families consist of one-parent households or two working parents; consequently, children are likely to have less supervision at home than was common in the traditional family structure. This lack of parental supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates. Other identifiable causes of offensive acts include frustration or failure in school, the increased availability of drugs and alcohol, and the growing incidence of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act, although a direct causal relationship has not yet been established.

　　参考答案：

　　这些年，家庭也在发生着变化。单亲家庭或父母都有工作的家庭不断增加。这样一来，孩子可能在家庭受到的监督就可能比过去传统家庭要少。有人认为缺乏父母的监督会影响孩子的犯罪率。儿童犯罪的其他一些确凿原因还包括在学校的挫折与失败，药物和酒精更加容易得到，以及对孩子受到的虐待与忽视越来越多。所有这一切都会增加儿童犯罪的可能性，虽然其中的直接因果关系还不确定。
