英语六级听力真题下载第15篇
Today's crisis in care for older people in England hastwo main causes.
今天英国老年人的护理危机有两个主要原因。
First, people are living longer with a lot morecomplex needs.
首先，人们的寿命越来越长，需求也越来越复杂。
Second, they rely on a system that has long beenmarked by a poor relation between national health and social care services.
其次，它们所依赖的体系中，国民健康和社会保健服务之间长期以来一直关系不良。
Current services originate in two key measures. They are the National Health Service and the1948 National Assistance Act.
当前的服务起源于两个关键措施，即国民健康服务和1948年的国家援助法案。
This required local governments to provide residential accommodation for older people andsupervise care homes run by independent organizations.
这就要求地方政府为老年人提供住宿，并监督独立机构经营的养老院。
They also provided home and community services, including meals, day centres and homehelpers and other subsidized services.
他们还提供家庭和社区服务，包括膳食、日托中心、家庭佣工和其他津贴服务。
The National Health Service was free and wholly publicly provided. It delivered the best healthcare for all.
国民保健服务是的，完全由公众提供。它为所有人提供了的医疗保健。
No such vision guided residential and community care though.
然而，家庭护理和社区护理却没有前景。
The care was substantially provided by voluntary services which worked together with localauthorities as they long had, with eligibility based on income.
这种照顾基本上是由志愿服务提供的，它们长期以来一直与地方当局合作，并根据收入来确定其资格。
Today, life expectancy has risen from 66 for a male at best in 1948 to around 80 now. Inaddition, there is better overall health and improved medical knowledge in care.
今天，男性的预期寿命已经从1948年的66岁上升到现在的80岁左右。此外，整体健康状况有所改善，医疗知识也有所。
This means an unprecedented number of people are surviving longer in conditions requiringexperts' support. Families provide at least as much care as they ever did.
这意味着，越来越多的人活得更长，需要专家支持。家庭提供的照料至少和以前一样多。
Even so, they can rarely, without subsidized support, address serious personal needs. Care forolder people faced persistent criticism as these trends became apparent.
即便如此，如果没有补贴支持，它们也很少能满足严苛的个人需求。随着这些趋势变得明显，对老年人的照顾面临着持续不断的批评。
From the early 1960s, local authorities were required to plan health and welfare services. Theaim was to enable older people to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
从20世纪60年代初开始，地方当局被要求规划卫生和福利服务。其目的是使老年人能够尽可能长时间呆在自己的家里。
But this increased concern about the lack of coordination between free health and paid-forsocial care. Through the 1970s, a number of measures sought to improve matters.
但这增加了人们对医疗和付费社会医疗之间缺乏协调的担忧。在20世纪70年代，一些措施试图改善情况。
However, at a time of financial crisis, funding diminished and little changed. In the 1980s, thegovernment cut spending.
然而，在金融危机时期，资金减少，几乎没有变化。上世纪80年代，政府削减了支出。
Meanwhile, preference for private over public services made management even more difficult. Simultaneously, the number of sick older people grew.
与此同时，对私营部门的偏好超过了对公共服务的偏好，使得管理变得更加困难。与此同时，患病老年人的数量也在增加。
Governments emphasized the need to improve services. They did so, though, while doing littleto stop the erosion of available aid. Services were irregular across authorities.
各级政府强调需要改善服务。然而，他们这样做了，却几乎没有阻止可用援助的流失。各个政府部门的服务都是不定期的。
Unless you were prepared to pay, they were increasingly difficult to obtain for any but themost severely disabled.
除非你愿意付钱，否则除了严重残疾的人以外，其他任何人都越来越难得到这些钱。
Why has 60 years of criticism produced so little change? Discrimination against older people hasa long history.
为什么60年的批评收效甚微?对老年人的歧视由来已久。
Additionally, those affected by inadequate health and social care are too vulnerable tolaunch the protests that have addressed other forms of discrimination.
此外，那些受到医疗和社会保障不足影响的人力量微小，无法发起针对其他形式歧视的抗议活动。
