怎样解决高离婚率
范文：
Divorce and family breakdown were virtually unheard of just 100 years ago. Now, however, almost half of all marriages fail. This phenomenon is symptomatic of the growing distance between family members in modern society. In this essay, I intend to explore the sources of this problem along with some possible solutions to it.
离婚和家庭破裂几乎在100年前还闻所未闻。然而现在，几乎一半的婚姻都失败了。这种现象是现代社会家庭成员之间距离越来越远的一个症状。在这篇文章中，我打算探索这个问题的来源和一些可能的解决方案。
Chief among the causes of this problem is the modern lifestyle. Today’s parents have to work harder than those of previous generations to support their families. Traditionally, one parent assumed the role of breadwinner, while the other-typically the mother-acted as the homemaker. Recently, though, double income families have become the norm. Consequently, an increasing number of children now grow up in a parentless environment. Little wonder, then, that they feel alienated. Another contributing factor is the passive and solitary nature of many modern forms of entertainment.
造成这个问题的主要原因是现代生活方式。今天的父母不得不比前几代人更努力地工作来养家。传统上，父母一方承担养家糊口的角色，而另一方(通常是母亲)承担家庭主妇的角色。然而最近，双收入家庭已成为常态。因此，越来越多的孩子在没有父母的环境中长大。因此，他们感到疏远也就不足为奇了。另一个促成因素是许多负面的现代娱乐形式。
In order to solve this sense of alienation within families, I believe we must first address its root causes. Perhaps the most effective method of doing this would be for governments to offer financial incentives to parents who choose to remain at home and take care of their families. Admittedly, such incentives would probably not fully compensate couples for lost income; however, they would at least soften the hardship of living on a single income and provide an alternative for parents who would rather remain at home but are unable to do so because of financial constraints. One further measure would be to promote more interactive leisure activities in the community through public education campaigns.
为了解决家庭内部的这种疏离感，我认为我们必须首先解决其根源。也许最 有效的方法是政府为选择留在家里照顾家庭的父母提供经济激励。诚然，这样的激励措施可能不会完全补偿夫妻失去的收入;然而，它们至少会减轻靠单一收入生活的困难，并为那些宁愿呆在家里却因经济拮据而无法这样做的父母提供另一种选择。另一项措施是透过公众教育运动，在社区推广更多的互动康乐活动。
In conclusion, I believe that this is clearly a problem of such complexity that no solution is likely in the short term. However, I believe that the measures outlined above would constitute a good first step.
总之，我认为这是一个复杂的问题，短期内不可能有任何解决办法。然而，我认为上述措施将是良好的第一步。
