英国为小学老师配备电子翻译器

　　The technology enables teachers to type messages to pupils which are then translated into the 30 native tongues of children。

　　通过这项技术，教师把要表达的信息打成字输入翻译器，然后翻译成那些不懂英语儿童各自总计约30种母语。

　　And with figures showing that one in six primary pupils speaks a different language at home - double the number ten years ago - the technology could soon become a permanent feature in many more schools。

　　而统计数据显示，在每6个小学生中，就有1人在家中说其他的语言，这个数字比10年前翻了一番，电子翻译器将很快在英国多所学校成为常用的工具。

　　Latest figures from the Department for Education show that 905,610 children do not speak English as their first language. This figure has risen by 42,750 in a year, and accounts for 16 per cent of pupils in primary schools and 11.6 per cent in secondaries。

　　英国教育部最新数据显示，有多达90万5610名小学生英语不是第一语言。这个数字在一年间上升了4万2750人，占小学生总数的16%，中学生的11.6%。
