我的听写及改错:
Governments may be accused of keeping too many records on their people.But no one seems to argue with recording births,deaths and marriages.This is called civil registration.Birth and death records help governments count populations and know how long people live and what they die from.This information is important for planning schools,hospitals and other services.A birth certificate is important for another reason.That piece of paper is legal prove(proof) that an individual exits(exists).Yet the World Health Organization believes that almost fourty percent of all births go an recorded(unrecorded).It estimates that one hundred twenty-eight million babies are born each year.So one way to look at this is to say that every year close to fifty million people are denied legal identities.And in the least developed countries,the rate could be as high as seventy percent.The situation is no better for death records.Every year fifty-seven million people die,but perhaps only one third of these deaths are counted.The WHO,the United States(Nations) Health Agency,has one hundred ninety-three member states.Yet it receives dependable cause of death information from just thirty-one countries.
我的翻译:
Governments may be accused of keeping too many records on their people. But no one seems to argue with recording births, deaths and marriages. This is called civil registration.
政府也许会因为他们的人口太多而被控告.(政府也许会被指责对他们的人民做了太多的记录.)但是似乎没有人会对记录出生,死亡和婚姻产生异议.这就叫做人口登记.
Birth and death records help governments count populations and know how long people live and what they die from. This information is important for planning schools, hospitals and other services. A birth certificate is also important for another reason. That piece of paper is legal proof that an individual exists.
出生和死亡的纪录可以帮助政府统计人口,并且知道人的寿命和死亡原因.这种信息对学校,医院和其他服务设施的规划是重要的.出生证明同样对另外一个原因也很重要.那张纸是个体存在的法律证明.
Yet the World Health Organization believes that almost forty percent of all births go unrecorded. It estimates that one hundred twenty-eight million babies are born each year. So one way to look at this is to say that every year close to fifty million people are denied legal identities. And in the least developed countries the rate could be as high as seventy percent.
但是世界卫生组织认为,几乎有40%的出生人数没有记录在案.它估计,每年有1亿两千八百万的新生儿.所以从某个方面来讲,每年有将近5千万人不被法律认可.并且在最不发达的国家,这个比率可以高达70%.
The situation is no better for death records. Every year fifty-seven million people die. But perhaps only one-third of these deaths are counted. The W.H.O., the United Nations health agency, has one hundred ninety-three member states. Yet it receives dependable cause-of-death information from just thirty-one countries.
死亡记录的情况也不好.每年有5千7百万的人死亡.但是也许只有1/3的死亡人数被统计.世界卫生组织,联合国的健康机构,拥有193个成员国.但是他们只从31个国家得到可靠的死亡信息.
我的总结:
1.不认真造成的错误,如nations,exists
2.prove & proof:
prove是v.,proof是n.
