這里是美國之音慢速英語教育報(bào)道。

In Vietnam, two members of a family of street vendors(street sellers) are finding a way to help the poorest students in Hanoi. Pham Minh Dap and his brother are providing the students with mostly free English and Japanese lessons at a learning center they created. The men want to help people who would not normally have a chance to learn a foreign language.
越南一家街頭小販家庭的兩位家庭成員正通過一種新的辦法來幫助河內(nèi)市的貧困學(xué)生。Pham Minh Dap和他的兄弟在一家自創(chuàng)的學(xué)習(xí)中心為學(xué)生們提供基本免費(fèi)的英語和日語課程。他們想要幫助通常沒有機(jī)會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)外語的那些人。

Some education experts in Vietnam say such knowledge may help college graduates get jobs. The country's economy has improved. But many graduates continue to have a hard time finding employment. Local media report 10 percent of university graduates do not have a job.
越南的一些教育專家說，這類知識(shí)可以幫助大學(xué)畢業(yè)生找到工作。該國的經(jīng)濟(jì)有所好轉(zhuǎn)，但許多畢業(yè)生還是很難找到工作。當(dāng)?shù)孛襟w報(bào)道說，10%的大學(xué)畢業(yè)生沒有工作。
 
Earlier this year, 24-year-old Pham Minh Dap and his brother established a school they call Stand By You. Volunteers teach poor students English and Japanese. Many classes are free. Students with some language knowledge pay 25 to 50 cents per class.
今年早些時(shí)候，24歲的Pham Minh Dap和他的兄弟成立了這所被他們稱為Stand By You的學(xué)校。志愿者教貧困學(xué)生英語和日語。許多課程都是免費(fèi)的。學(xué)生們每節(jié)課付25到50美分。

Mr. Dap pays about $500 to rent the language center space and for other costs. He gives about $150 from his earnings as a street vendor and private language teaching. His brother gives the same amount from money he earns as a secretary. Friends provide the rest.
Dap先生掏了大約500美元租用這個(gè)語言中心的教室和支付其它費(fèi)用。他從作為街頭小販以及私人語言教師的收入中拿出了大約150美元。他的兄弟從做秘書所賺的工資中拿出了同等資金。朋友們擔(dān)負(fù)其它費(fèi)用。

Mr. Dap says students come to the city from the countryside and must pay for food or rent. He says the students' parents are farmers. And he said farmers are very poor in Vietnam.
Dap先生表示，學(xué)生們從農(nóng)村來到這個(gè)城市，他們必須掏錢吃飯和住宿。他說，這些學(xué)生的家長都是農(nóng)民，在越南農(nóng)民非常窮。

But Pham Minh Dap is also poor. He sells balloons and children's toys outside Hoa Binh Park in the center of Vietnam's capital. He works there for a few hours on most afternoons. He earns about $5 each day. Mr. Dap and many of his family members have sold things in the area for 5 years. They come from a village of rice farmers in Thanh Hoa Province.
但是Dap先生也很窮。他在越南首都市中心的華平公園賣氣球和兒童玩具。大多數(shù)下午他都在這里做幾個(gè)小時(shí)生意。他每天能賺大約5美元。Dap先生和他的許多家庭成員已經(jīng)在這個(gè)地區(qū)做了5年生意。他們來自清化省一個(gè)以稻農(nóng)為主的村莊。

24-year-old Pham Thi Trang is one of 600 students at the language school. She is finishing her university studies. Her parents work in a market in a village in Ha Nam Province. She says life is hard in the city.
24歲的Pham Thi Trang是這所語言學(xué)校的600名學(xué)生之一。她即將完成大學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)。她的父母在哈南省一個(gè)村莊的集市上工作。她說城市里的生活很難。

She says she earns about $50 a month from a part-time job, and her parents give her $75. But this is not enough to live on. She has said she has to be very careful with money, so she can pay her bills.
她說她每月兼職能賺大約50美元，父母給她75美元，但這些錢不夠生活。她說她要精打細(xì)算才能付賬單。

Demand for the school is growing. About 1,000 people are on a waiting list to enter. 10 people have offered to teach for free. And Mr. Dap says he is hoping to raise money to pay for a bigger place. He wants to open more classes.
人們對(duì)這所學(xué)校的需求越來越大。大約有1000人在候選名單上等待入學(xué)。有10人在這里免費(fèi)支教。Dap先生說他希望募集資金租個(gè)更大的地方，他希望開設(shè)更多課程。
