6、在世界上最走红的极为流行歌手中，拉美激情歌手瑞奇。马丁高居排行榜榜首，而且处处捧大奖。一股新的流行音乐之风正席卷美洲大陆，冲击世界浒乐坛拉美节奏卷土重来。 Among the worlds best-selling popular singers,Latin American Heart-throb Ricky Martin is one the top of the charts and winning awards everywhere.A new wave of musical trend is sweeping across American and the world-the Latin American sound rediscovered. 7、在这样一个大多数人只能靠为别人打工来维持生活的社会里，找不到工作是一个极其严重的问题。 In societies where most people can earn a living only by working for others,being unable to find a job is a serious problem. 8、失业者缺乏生活所必需的经济来源，感觉被社会排挤，有强烈的失落感，因此失业率用来衡量工人的福利状况。 Because of its human costs in deprivation and a feeling of rejection and personal failure,the extent of unemployment is widely used as a measure of workers welfare. 9、失业工人的比率也显示了一个国家从人力资源的使用程度，用来作为衡量经济活动的一个指数。 The proportion of workers unemployment also shows how well a nations human resources are used and serves as an index of economic activity. 10、没有人会怀疑这样一个不争的事实：艾滋病的祸端已经无处不在。曾几何时仅在非洲，美洲和海地流行的疾病现今渐渐威胁着亚洲，西欧和拉美。我们都心如明镜，艾滋是致命的，无药可治。近年来艾滋病所引发的恐惧已经达到了临界程度。 No noe would deny that the terrifying scourge of AIDS is spreading virtually everywhere.What was once a popular disease in Africa,America and Haiti is now a growing threat in Asia,Western Europe and Latin America.We all have a clear idea that AIDS is fatal,and there is no cure at all.So in recent years the fear it engenders has started to reach a critical mass.
