我的翻译:
The new survey of children with autism is the largest and most comprehensive ever undertaken. It shows that about 560,000 children in the Untied States have the condition. Wendy Stone's child is one of them. "I'm hoping that one in 150 is alarming enough to the government and to our health care providers, for them to pay a lot of attention to it."
一项新的对有自闭症的孩子的调查是前所未有的大规模和全面.这项调查显示美国约有560,000个孩子患有这种疾病.Wendy Stone的孩子就是其中的一个."我希望能有1/150的人能足够的警视政府和我们的医保的提供者,为了孩子们要十分注意这个问题."
Autism is a little-understood neurological and behavior syndrome that interferes with a child's ability to relate or interact with others. The new survey by the Centers for Disease, Control and Prevention is not a nationwide study but based on data from only 14 states. Still, many in the medical community and among support groups, found the numbers staggering.
自闭症是很少有人懂的神经学的和行为学上的综合病症,它影响了孩子与人交往和沟通的能力.疾病防治中心的新的调查并不是全国范围的调查,只是基于14个州的数据.但是仍有许多医疗中心和支持机构发现这个数据很惊人.
Lee Grossman with the Autism Society of America. "It actually validates what we've been saying all along that the numbers of people being diagnosed with autism is much higher than what had been previously stated."
Lee Grossman是美国自闭研究协会的成员."这确实证实了我们一直强调的的患自闭证的人已经比之前公司的人数要多得多."
More money on research is needed because very little is known about possible risk factors for autism, what causes it, or even how to recognize it biologically.
更多的资金需要用在研究上,因为现在对于自闭症的危险因素的研究很少.它是怎么引起的,甚至在生理上怎样发现的都没有研究.
