英语翻译
People with disabilities take up a large part of the population.It is estimated that over 35 million Americans have physical,mental,or other disabilities.About half of these disabilities are “developmental”,i.e.,they occur before the individual’s twenty-second birthday,often from genetic conditions,and are serious enough to affect three or more areas of development,such as communication,employment,ect.Most other disabilities are considered “adventitious”,i.e.,accidental or caused by outside forces.
Before the 20th century,only a small percentage of people with disabilities survived for long.People with disabilities could hardly get medical treatment.Advancements in medicine and social services have created a climate in which people with disabilities can expect to have such basic needs as food,houses,and medical treatment .Unfortunately ,these basics are often not available.Civil liberties,such as the right to vote,marry,get an education,and gain employment have historically been denied on the basics of disability.
In recent decades,the disability rights movement has been organized to fight against these infringements of civil rights.Congress responded by passing major laws recognizing people with disabilities as a protected class.
Still today,people with disabilities must fight to live their lives independently.It is estimated that more than half of qualified Americans with disabilities are unemployed.About two-thirds live at or below the official poverty level.
When public attitudes fully advance,disabled people will be fully able to take their rightful place in society.

残疾人占了总人口的很大一部分.据估计,至少有三千五百万美国人有生理、心理或其它方面的残疾.在这中间,大约有一半的残疾都是在生长过程中就有的,也就是说,残疾发生在22周岁以前,而且这些残疾多半是由于遗传因素引起,严重到影响三种以上其它方面的发展,比如交流、就业等.大多数的残疾则是后天的,也就是说源于事故或外部力量.
二十世纪以前,残疾人中只有很小一部分人能够活很长一段时间.残疾人几乎得不到医疗.药物和社会服务的发展带来了一个残疾人期望得到基本需求,如食物、住所、医疗,的高峰.不幸的是,这些基本需求都没有实现.公民的自由权,如选举权、婚姻、受教育权、工作等等,都因为残疾而被一一剥夺.
在最近几十年内,社会上组织了很多残疾人权力运动,旨在反对这些对基本人权的侵犯.国会也通过了主要法律来保护残疾人.
但是直到今天,残疾人还是要付出很大的努力才能资助生活.据估计,一半以上的有能力工作的美国残疾人还处在失业状态.大约三分之二的残疾人生活在贫困线以下.
当人们对于残疾人的态度转变之后,残疾人才能在社会上完全得到属于自己的地位.
