看電視新聞學英語--China's Lonely Children中國孤獨的孩子（上）

Autism affects roughly 67 million people worldwide. But in China, families living with autistic children receive almost no help from the communist regime, and parents struggle to care for their children-children who are seen as social misfits.
孤獨症在全球影響了大約六千七百萬人。然而，在中國擁有孤獨症小孩的家庭，卻幾乎完全沒有獲得共產政府的幫助。父母得很艱辛地照顧他們的孩子－那些被視為社會適應不良的孩子。

A playground race around an old stool might look simple, but for these parents, it's a major breakthrough.
一個繞著一張老舊凳子的遊樂場比賽，看起來似乎很簡單，但對這些父母來說，這是一個重大的突破。

"Stars and Rain" was the first school in China to help children with "lonely syndrome," what the Chinese call autism.
「星和雨」是中國第一個致力於幫助 「孤獨症候群」 孩子的學校，也就是中國人所稱的孤獨症。

The school teaches children simple tasks as well as teaches parents ways to cope.
這間學校教導孩子簡單的工作，同時也教導父母妥善處理孩子的方法。
Autism is still relatively unknown here, and the country's thin welfare system offers little help.
在這裏，孤獨症仍然相對的不被大多數人所瞭解，而且這個國家薄弱的福利系統，所提供的幫助極為稀少。

Friends and neighbors often don't understand, so the parents are desperate, says school founder Tian Huiping.
學校創辦人田慧平說，朋友以及鄰居通常都不理解，所以父母們都感到很絕望。
