六级段落翻译_青少年犯罪

青少年犯罪

过去几十年间，全国很多城市的青少年犯罪 （juvenile delinquency）率增长惊人。青少年犯罪的原因有内因和外因两个方面。青少年自身素质的好坏是决定其是否会违法犯罪的关键。一些青少年自身素质不高，抵御能力差，形成了错误的世界观、人生观和价值观，养成了游手好闲、好逸恶劳、无事生非的不良嗜好和品行。此外，由于自身性格有缺陷，心理幼稚，自身生活需要和人格尊严得不到满足，加上法制观念的缺乏等等，一旦受到外界因素的影响、刺激，很容易走上犯罪道路。

参考译文

Juvenile Delinquency

Over the last few decades, many cities around the country have seen alarming increases in the levels of juvenile delinquency. The reasons for juvenile delinquency come into two aspects: internal and external. The quality of youths themselves decides whether they will break the law and commit crimes. Some teenagers have low qualities and poor resistant abilities. They have incorrect outlook on world, life and values, unhealthy habits and behaviors such as being good for nothing, loving ease and hating work and making trouble out of nothing. Besides, the defects in their own character, childish psychology, unmet living needs and unsatisfied dignity as well as the lack of legal knowledge altogether will most likely result in their committing crimes once they are affected and triggered by external elements.

知识小贴士

青少年犯罪是指已满14周岁但不满25岁周岁的人实施的具有严重社会危害性的犯罪行为（criminal behavior）。青少年犯罪存在着结伙作案多，严重犯罪多，突发性犯罪多，作案动机、目的比较单纯，作案手段呈现成年化、智能化、低龄化，以及反复性强等特点。青少年犯罪有其自身、家庭、学校、社会和司法等多方面的原因，我们要采取自身预防、家庭预防、学校预防、社会预防和司法预防等多种预防方法，进行综合治理，以预防和减少青少年犯罪。
