新奇事件簿 失业年轻人感到压力(在线收听) |
A new survey from Britain shows that a third of young, unemployed people regularly "fall apart" emotionally. They are so stressed or unhappy that they cannot control their emotions, so they have problems living a"normal" life. The survey is from a youth charity called the Prince's Trust. Its researchers asked questions to 2,200 people who did not have a job. Almost half of them said they often felt anxious about everydaysituations, and that they tried not to meet new people. One in eight of those surveyed said they were too stressed to leave the house. The charity said: "Thousands of young people feel like prisoners in their ownhomes. Without the right support, these young people become socially isolated." 英国一项新的研究表明三分之一的年轻失业者通常都会情感受挫。他们的精神压力过大,抑郁,这使他们不能控制自己情绪,所以他们很难过正常的生活。这项研究是来自一个叫作王子基金的青年人基金会。研究人员询问了2200名失业的年轻人。几乎有一半的人都说自己每天感到很焦虑,他们避免交新朋友。有八分之一的受访者说他们的压力过大,以至于不想走出家门。基金会认为上千名年轻人在家中过着牢狱之苦。他们缺少正确的帮助,这些年轻人正从社会脱节。 Many of these young people struggle with day-to-day life, which means it becomes more and more difficult to find a job. Britain's Employment Minister Esther McVey said: "Our young people are some of the best and most talented in the world." She said it was important to try and match these people with the right jobs. Researcher David Fass added: "Young people are our future and it is important that we invest in them and provide them with the tools they need to reach their full potential." Jack, 25, explained how hard it was for him to be unemployed. He said: "I would wake up and wouldn't want to leave the house. I stopped speaking to my friends and I had absolutely no confidence speaking to people." 许多年轻人无法维持每天的生活,这让他们很难找到工作。英国就业及退休保障大臣麦克维伊说:“我们的年轻人是世界上最优秀,最有天赋的人。”她还说让这些年轻人找到适合他们的工作是最重要的。研究人员大卫·法斯还说:“年轻人是我们的未来,我们应该向他们提供能够发挥他们潜力的机会,这是最重要的。”杰克今年25岁,他说到失业对他来说有多么的艰难。他说:“起床之后就不想离开家。不与朋友说话,我非常没自信。 |
