Bad news for some British school pupils 英国在校学生成绩落后

In India it's sewers – they run beneath the streets - and they are an essential part of infrastructure. Keeping them free from blockages is not just a hard and unpleasant job but it can also be dangerous because workers are employed on a day-by-day basis, often without safety gear.

在印度，下水道系统在街道下穿行，是基础建设的重要组成部分。保持下水系统通畅不仅是一项令人不悦的困难工作，而且还可能很危险，因为这些每天被临时雇佣的下水工人在工作时通常不会穿戴任何安全装置。

The children of white British parents do worse in their GCSEs [exams] than those who speak English as a second language. This is according to an education think tank.
