报告显示 中国青少年变得更高更胖

　　于上周三发布的一份报告显示，中国青少年变得越来越高，但是他们也越来越胖，视力也越来越差。

　　The average height of kids aged¹ 7 to 18 increased from 2000 to 2014, according to the Annual Report on Development of Youth Sports in China 2016.

　　2016年中国青少年体育发展年度报告显示，在2000年到2014年间，7到18岁孩子的平均身高不断增长。

　　The average 18-year-old male stood at 1.72 meters in 2014, up from 1.70 m in 2000, while females grew from 1.58 m to 1.59 m.

　　2014年，18岁的男性平均身高为1.72米，而2000年则为1.7米。女性平均身高从1.58米增长到1.59米。

　　However, the obesity² rate of males aged 7 to 22 in urban areas increased 25-fold from 1985 to 2014, reaching nearly 15 percent, while males in rural areas increased 45-fold. The rate for females in both rural and urban areas increased 12-fold.

　　然而，7岁到22岁的城市男性肥胖率在1985年到2014年间增加了25倍，而农村地区则增加了45倍。女性的肥胖率则增加了12倍。

　　In addition, more young Chinese have had vision problems since 2000, with more than 86 percent of college students affected³ in 2014.

　　除此之外，从2000年起，越来越多的中国青年存在视力问题。2014年，超过86％的大学生有视力缺陷。

　　"That Chinese youth are getting taller is simply because living standards have been improving," said Liao Wenke, a senior official with the Ministry⁴ of Education. "Meanwhile, the problems of obesity and poor eyesight have a lot to do with lack of exercise, which is associated with the heavy study burden and changing lifestyle, such as the popularization of electronic devices at an early age."

　　教育部高级官员廖文科表示：“平均身高增加是因为平均生活水平的不断提高。同时，肥胖问题和视力缺陷则主要是因为缺乏锻炼。由于学习负担重，孩子们很小就学会使用电子设备，这些都改变了他们的生活方式。”

　　The report suggests that Chinese students' physical abilities fell steadily⁵ between 1985 and 2005. It has picked up slightly since the issue was given attention by government and the public.

　　报告显示，在1985年至2005年间，中国学生的体能不断下降。在政府和公众开始注意到该问题后，这一情况才有所好转。

　　It also pointed⁶ out that the physique of youth in the country is the foundation for its competitiveness at international sports events.

　　报告也指出，青年人的体型是中国在国际运动赛事中具有竞争力的基础。

　　At the Rio Olympic Games, China slipped to third place on the gold medal tally⁷ with 28 golds, after the United States and the United Kingdom, the worst performance since 2004.

　　在里约奥运会上，中国夺得28枚金牌，排名下滑至第三位，排在美国和英国之后。这一成绩是自2004年奥运会以来表现最差的一次。
