As many as 45 per cent of children aged between five and 13 can't tie their shoe laces - but 67 per cent can work a DVD player, according to a poll.
一項(xiàng)投票結(jié)果顯示，在5歲至13歲這個(gè)年齡段中，45%的英國孩子不會(huì)系鞋帶，但67%的孩子知道如何使用DVD。

The study showed a large proportion can log on to the internet, play on computer games, use an iPhone or iPad and work satellite television services like Sky Plus.
研究顯示大部分的孩子都會(huì)上網(wǎng)，玩電腦游戲，使用iphone或者ipad，或者看Sky付費(fèi)電視。

But 65 per cent can't make a cup of tea, while 81 per cent can't read a map and 87 per cent wouldn't be able to repair a bicycle puncture.
但65%的孩子不會(huì)泡茶，81%不能識(shí)別地圖，87%的不能修補(bǔ)自行車輪胎。

Research also showed a large proportion were sadly lacking in knowledge about the great outdoors. As many as 63 per cent wouldn't know how to build a den, while 59 per cent can't even climb a tree. A further 79 per cent have no idea how to put up a tent, while 78 per cent can't build a camp fire.
調(diào)查還顯示，大部分的孩子對(duì)野外生存的知識(shí)嚴(yán)重匱乏。63%的孩子不知道如何搭野營小屋，甚至有59%的不知道如何爬樹。更有79%的不知道如何搭起一個(gè)帳篷，78%的不知道如何生火。

And when asked if they cared about the environment a third said 'no' - with half of these saying it was because 'in the future we'll be able to live in space.
當(dāng)問到是否關(guān)心環(huán)境，三分之一的人回答“不”——其中一半人給出的理由是“將來他們能夠生活在外太空?！?/div>

Survival expert Ray Mears said he was shocked by the findings, from electricity provider npower. He added: "I can't believe our young people are so ill-equipped when it comes to practical skills.
調(diào)查結(jié)果讓供電節(jié)能npower公司的野外生存專家瑞?米爾表示很吃驚，他表示：“我沒想到這些年輕人在面對(duì)實(shí)際技能時(shí)會(huì)如此缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn)。”

"When I was growing up, I was told 'You don't need equipment, you need knowledge to survive in the wild' and this is something that I truly believe. Simple skills like putting up a tent can teach you important lessons that can't be learnt without doing them yourself. "You learn how to work in a team and communicate with your peers as well as how to work under pressure and use logic.”
“在我的成長過程中，我的父母和老師就不斷教導(dǎo)我‘你不需要什么工具，只需要在野外生存的常識(shí)’，這也是我一直所堅(jiān)信的。如果你不親身實(shí)踐搭帳篷，是無法學(xué)習(xí)搭帳篷這樣簡單而重要的技能的。你要學(xué)習(xí)如何團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，和同伴交流，以及如何在壓力之下運(yùn)用邏輯思維能力?！?/div>

"Most importantly, you also learn how to look after yourself and know your strengths."In response to the research, npower has launched a new educational programme, called Climate Cops SOS. Working with Mr Mears, the company hopes to inject a passion for the great outdoors back in to the heart of the country's children.
“最重要的是，你也學(xué)習(xí)如何照顧自己，清晰了解自己的能力?！?根據(jù)此項(xiàng)調(diào)查，npower公司推出了新的Climate Cops SOS教育項(xiàng)目。有了米爾先生的支持，公司希望在孩子們的心中灑下對(duì)戶外運(yùn)動(dòng)的熱情種子。

Clare McDougall, from npower, said: "These figures show that there has never been a better time to teach our young people some great new skills. "We really believe that if young people spend more time outdoors they will learn to love and respect the environment and they'll want to preserve it for future generations."
節(jié)能公司的克萊爾?麥東高則表示“這些數(shù)據(jù)表明現(xiàn)在是教會(huì)我們年輕人一些新技能的絕好時(shí)機(jī)。我們堅(jiān)信如果年輕人愿意在戶外花更多的時(shí)間，他們便會(huì)學(xué)到如何愛護(hù)和尊重環(huán)境，也會(huì)想要為了下一代來保護(hù)它?！?/div>
