Population and Birth Control
1. 由於人口的增長，2. 人類感到壓力越來越大。
3. 控制人口增長是我國的基本國策。
4. 家庭子女多有許多弊病。
Mankind is feeling greater pressure from the expanding number of people. The area of the earth can never be expanded. Nor are there endless sources of food and clothing. Yet, the number of people is increasing be 80million each year. In the next fifty years, the world population may double. How can so many people be fed? What is worse, most likely, there will be a day when people can only have standing room.
Birth control is a basic policy in our country. China has the greatest number of population in the world. Her level of per capita cultivated area ranks very low. With a high birth rate, the production of grain and other bare necessities will be unable to meet the needs of people. To raise people’s living standard, we must practice birth control.
There are disadvantages of a family having more children. First of all, as the parents have only limited income in general, they cannot give their children a good upbringing in food, clothing and shelter, let alone education. Secondly, child rearing will exhaust the parents, leaving them no burden of the society so far as social morality and juvenile delinquency are concerned.
人口和控制生育
由於人口數量的增長，人類感到壓力很大。地球的面積再也不會增加了，食品和衣物的來源也不是無限的。然而，人口則以每年八千萬的數目增長著。在今後的50年，世界人口將會是現在的一倍。這么多的人口怎么養活？最糟糕的是，很可能有一天人們只有站腳的地方。
控制人口增長是我國的基本國策。中國是世界人口最多的國家。她的可耕地面積的平均水平相當低。隨著出生率的高度增長，糧食和其他生活必需品的生產將不能滿足人們的需要。為了提高 人民的生活水平，我們必須施行人口控制。
家庭子女多有許多弊病。首先，一般地說，由於父母經濟收入有限，他們在衣食住行方面不能給他們的孩子們提供良好的條件，更不要說受教育了。第二，教養子女會使父母費心竭力，使父母沒有時間和精力顧及自己的工作。最後，就社會道德和青少年犯罪而言，家庭子女多也會增加社會的負擔。
