In recent years, more and moreleftover children have been brought into the public and aroused more and morepeople’s attention.Those children are leftin their hometown in the countryside and one or two of their parents are goingout to earn money are called “leftover children”.

近年來，越來越多的留守兒童被帶到公眾面前，引起了越來越多人的關注。所謂“留守兒童”是指一個父母或雙方父母外出賺錢，被留在農村家鄉的那些兒童。

So why are there somany leftover children in our country now? First, the fast development ofbig cities is a main reason. The fast-developed cities provide more chance ofemployment and higher-salary jobs appeal to a lot of migrant workers. Second, thepursuit of a better life is another reason. The farmers or the workers in thecountryside would like to lead a better life and create a better condition fortheir children. They consider that going out to earn more money is easier tosatisfy their children’s need. Finally, the increase of population incountryside also account for the reason. With the increase of population, peoplein the countryside can not get enough land to work and support their family. Therefore,those younger people have to go out to find other ways to make their living.

那么，為什么現在我們國家有那么的留守兒童呢？首先，大城市的快速發展是主要原因。迅速發展的大城市提供了更多的就業機會，相對高薪的工作吸引了大量外來工。其次，追求更好的生活是另外一個原因。鄉村里的農民或工人想要過上更好的生活，為他們的子女提供更好的生活條件。他們認為外出賺錢更容易滿足他們孩子的需要。最后，農村人口的增長也是一個原因。隨著人口的增加，人們在農村得不到足夠的土地來耕作，養家糊口。因此，那些較年輕的人們就不得不尋找其他謀生的方式。

In a word, the occurrence of leftoverchildren is not caused by a single factor. All of us know that children shouldnot be separated with their parents for a long time, but we also need to takeother factors into consideration so that we can understand the real purpose ofour parents’ choice.

總之，留守兒童的出現并不是由單個因素造成的。我們都知道兒童不應該和父母長時間分開，但是我們也要考慮其他因素。只有這樣，我們才能明白我們父母做出這樣選擇的真正目的。
