SUBJECT：The lives of children in Victorian Britain
主题：英国维多利亚时代孩子们的生活
Dear Christine，
亲爱的克里斯廷:
You asked me for help about your school projectthe lives of children in Victorian Britain. I was also interested, I searched online and found out the following.
你就你们学校的课题——英国维多利亚时代孩子们的生活向我求助。我也很感兴趣。我通过在线查询找到了下列资料。
In Victorian Britain, thousands of people came to the cities to work in the factories. Instead of the green,open countryside,people lived in very small houses,very close to each other,with no space for children to play, Families in those days were quite big. Often, there were four or five children in one tamily, and they all had to sleep in houses of just two rooms. Sometimes,a whole street had to share one outside toilet. Can you imagine that?
崔英国维多利亚时代，成千上万人来到城市中的工厂工作。人们住在很小的房子里，彼此紧挨着，而不是住在绿色、开阔的乡村，孩子们没有玩耍的空间。那时的家庭非常大。在一个家庭中通常有4个或5个孩子，并且他们都得在只有两个房间的房子里睡觉。有时候，整条街不得不共用一个室外厕所。你能想象那种情况吗？
Most of the big cities were dirty and unhealthy. The pollution from factories filled the air. People put their rubbish outside in the streets. As a result,there were many illnesses.
大多数的大城市很脏和不健康。来自工厂的污染物充满了空气。人们把垃圾放在外面的街道上。结果，有许多疾病。
And life was harder for children in those times. They didn't always go to school, because they had to work instead. Many children started work in factories when they were only four or five years old. They worked twelve hours a day in dangerous jobs for very little money. Many were hurt in accidents with machines.
在那些年代，生活对孩子们而言更加艰苦。他们并不总是去上学，因为他们必须工作。许多孩子年仅四五岁就开始在工厂工作。为了很少的钱，他们一天12小时干着危险的工作。许多人在机器事故中受伤。
I hope this is helpful.Write to me if you need more information.
我希望这（对你）有所帮助。你如果需要更多的信息就给我写信。
With love,
爱你的，
Gran

Cars
汽车
The modern car has changed life a great deal. Before the invention of the car, people had to travel by rail, on horseback or by horse-drawn carriage, or on foot. Using horses for travel was slow,and of course walking was even slower. Cars allow people tol travel long distances quickly, in comfort and convenience.
现代汽车极大地改变了生活。在汽车发明之前，人们旅行时不得不坐火车、骑马、乘四轮马车或步行。使用马匹旅行缓慢，当然步行更慢。汽车可以让人们快速地长距离旅行，舒适而且便利。
The car also solved an enormous problem caused by using horses for transport in cities:manure! There were so many horsesl in large cities that it was almost impossiblel to aet rid of the manure. Modern oeoole are used to the idea that cars cause pollution, but the first cars actually made cities cleaner!
汽车也解决了使用马车在城市中运输的一个极大的问题：粪便！在大城市中有那么多的马以至于几乎不可能摆脱粪便（问题）。现代人习惯于汽车造成污染这一观念，但是第一代汽车确实使城市更干净了！
