正确答案:
【参考译文】 In recent years, more and more farmers have flocked to cities for employment. Many of them, without financial means, cannot bring their children along and have to leave them in their hometown. These kids are called left-behind children. Statistics show that China now has 150 million migrant workers from rural areas and that the number of left-behind children has reached 22.9 million. The phenomenon of left-behind children has attracted the concern of both the government and the general public. Various institutions have been set up nationwide over the past years to help and take care of these children. Last year, a local private business joined hands with CCTV to launch a national charity program to extend help to this disadvantaged group. To ensure the wellbeing of these children is of great importance to china’s effort to build a harmonious society. The program, apart from providing living and educational subsidies for left-behind children, offers traveling expenses to 500 of them each year so that they can be united with their parents working in cities during festivals or vacations. The program is being carried out throughout China, bringing hope to those children who live in poverty and miss their faraway parents. Meanwhile, it inspires more people to perform their social obligations.
