2018上半年翻譯考試catti三級(jí)筆譯試題：青年失業(yè)

　　英譯漢

　　The global youth unemployment rate has reached its highest level on record, and is expected to increase through 2010, the International Labour Organization (ILO) says in a new report that was issued to coincide with the launch of the UN International Youth Year.

　　The report: ILO Global Employment Trends for Youth 2010 says that of some 620 million economically active youth aged 15 to 24 years, 81 million were unemployed at the end of 2009-- the highest number ever. This is 7.8 million more than the global number in 2007. The youth unemployment rate increased from 11.9 percent in 2007 to 13.0 percent in 2009.

　　The global youth unemployment rate is expected to continue its increase through 2010, to 13.1 per cent, followed by a moderate decline to 12.7 per cent in 2011. The report also points out that the unemployment rates of youth have proven to be more sensitive to the crisis than the rates of adults and that the recovery of the job market for young men and women is likely to lag behind that of adults.

　　It adds that these trends will have “significant consequences for young people as upcoming cohorts of new entrants join the ranks of the already unemployed" and warns of the "risk of a crisis legacy of a „lost generation‟comprised of young people who have dropped out of the labour market, having lost all hope of being able to work for a decent living".

　　The ILO report points out that in developing economies, youth are more vulnerable to underemployment and poverty.

　　在“聯(lián)合國(guó)國(guó)際青年年”發(fā)起之際，國(guó)際勞工組織發(fā)布了一份新的報(bào)告，指出全球青年失業(yè)率已創(chuàng)歷史新高，在 2010 年還將繼續(xù)攀升。

　　這份名為《2010 年全球青年就業(yè)形勢(shì)展望》報(bào)告指出，截止到 2009 年底，在全球約6.2 億青年(定義為 15-24 歲年齡段、經(jīng)濟(jì)上十分活躍的群體)中，失業(yè)人數(shù)達(dá)到創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的 8100 萬(wàn)人，比 2007 年全球失業(yè)青年人數(shù)多了 780 萬(wàn)人，青年失業(yè)率從 2007 年的 11.9%上升至 2009 年的 13.0%。

　　據(jù)預(yù)測(cè)，全球青年失業(yè)率在 2010 年將攀升至 13.1%，隨后會(huì)有所放緩，到 2011 年下降至 12.7%。該報(bào)告同時(shí)指出，事實(shí)證明，危機(jī)對(duì)青年失業(yè)率的影響要大于對(duì)成年失業(yè)率的影響，而此次危機(jī)后青年就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的復(fù)蘇很可能會(huì)滯后于成年就業(yè)市場(chǎng)的復(fù)蘇。該報(bào)告還指出，隨著更多的青年人不斷加入到青年失業(yè)大軍中，上述趨勢(shì)對(duì)青年人將會(huì)造成嚴(yán)重影響。該報(bào)告警告稱(chēng)，此次危機(jī)將會(huì)產(chǎn)生危機(jī)后遺癥，即催生新的“失落的一代”：大批失業(yè)青年對(duì)生活開(kāi)始感到絕望。

　　這份國(guó)際勞工組織發(fā)布的報(bào)告還指出，在發(fā)展中國(guó)家，青年更容易受到就業(yè)不足和貧困的影響。
