Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. I the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often go on welfare if they have a serious illness. When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institute ones are good, most of them are simply dumping grounds for the dying in which care is given by poorly paid, overworked and underskilled personnel.練習(xí)：1.

Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion爆炸. 人類生命的延長使人口增加了。許多現(xiàn)在還活著的人，如果早出生100年的話，可能在幼年 就得病死了。因為活得長的人越多，在任何一個特定的時間里的人也就越多。實際上導(dǎo)致人口爆炸的是死亡率的降低而不是出生率的增長。 Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine, infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age.

Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or government insurance, they must often go on welfare if they have a serious illness. 延長人的生命同時也使要撫養(yǎng)的人數(shù)增長了。在所有的社會里，殘疾的、太小或太老的以至不能工作的人，要靠社會中其他人的救助。在以狩獵和采集為生的時代，不能跟上其他人的老人會被甩在后面，任他死去。在饑荒年代，人們允許嬰兒死，因為如果他們的父母餓死了， 他們也活不成，但是如果他們的父母活下來了，他們還可以再要個孩子。在大部分的當(dāng)代社會里，人們覺得在道義上負(fù)有讓人們活著的義務(wù)，不管他們能不能工作。現(xiàn)在有許多人已經(jīng)過了想工作或能工作的年齡；我們也制定了讓人們在特定年齡退休的規(guī)章制度。除非這些人為他們退休后的生活攢夠了錢，否則別人就得負(fù)擔(dān)他們。在美國，許多退休的老人靠很少的一點社會保障金過日子，生活幾近赤貧。老年人比年輕人或中年人更容易得??；除非他們很有錢，或有私人或政府的保險金，否則他們在得重病的時候就得靠福利救濟。 When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families.
