Children’s performance at school is more dependent on the area in which they grow up than parental income, a new study suggests.
一項新研究證明，兒童在學校里的學習成績更容易受成長環(huán)境的影響，而不是受父母收入的影響。

The Social Market Foundation has found that location is now a much bigger?influence on children’s achievement than it was for previous generations.
社會市場基金會發(fā)現(xiàn)，成長環(huán)境對兒童的學業(yè)成績有著非常大的影響力，重要性遠大于父母對兒童的影響力。

Researchers examined test results of youngsters born in 1970 and 2000 and found regional differences have become much greater over the last 30 years.
研究者調(diào)查了出生在1970年和2000年的人群學業(yè)成績，發(fā)現(xiàn)在過去的30年中，區(qū)域差異的重要性尤為突出。

The study found that social background had a bigger impact on achievement than location in 1970 in comparison with today.
研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，相較于當下，1970年的時候，社會背景的影響力高于兒童的成長環(huán)境。

The research found that in 2013-14, 70 per cent of 16-year-olds in London gained five good GCSEs compared with 63 per cent in Yorkshire and Humber, with such inequalities persisting - and in some cases worsening - over the past three decades.
研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，在2013-2014年之間，居住在倫敦的16歲上下的青少年中，有70%在五門中學會考中獲得高分。而在約克郡和亨伯則只有63%，這種學科成績上的差距在過去30年間一直頑存——在某些年份中差距甚至更大。

Family background and income remain important, but the study suggests that ‘the geographic area a child comes from has become a more powerful predictive factor’.
家庭背景和家庭收入仍然是很重要的因素，但與此同時，研究表明“兒童成長的地理位置已經(jīng)成為更具影響性的先決因素。”
