流浪者中黑人居多？
African Americans, despite making up just 13% of the U.S. population, account for a staggeringly disproportionate chunk of the nation's homeless population, according to a government report.
据政府报道，尽管非裔美国人只占美国总人口的13%，他们在美国流浪者人群中却占了惊人的高比例。
In 2019, an estimated 568,000 Americans experienced homelessness, with African Americans making up about 40% of that total, according to the annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress.
据美国国会的年度流浪者评估报告显示，在2019年美国总共约有568,000流浪者，其中非裔美国人佔了40%。
The total figure in 2018 was about 553,000.
而在2018年是这个数字是553,000人。
The disparity was starker when looking at the number of homeless people with children: African Americans accounted for about 52% of that population, with whites accounting for about 35%, the report said.
报告称，对于带孩子的流浪者来说，这个数字对比更加明显，非裔美国人佔了50% ，而白种人占35%。
In contrast, 48% of all people experiencing homelessness were white compared with 77% of the total U.S. population, while people who identify as Hispanic or Latino represented about 22% of the homeless population, but only 18% of the overall population.
相比之下，白种人在美国总人口的77% 20，却只占流浪者总人口的48%，西班牙裔和拉丁裔的人占美国总人口的18%，在流浪者中占的是22%。
"African Americans have remained considerably overrepresented among the homeless population compared to the U.S. population," the report said.
报告称，“非裔美国人在流浪者人群中所占的比例相比于在美国总人口中所占的比例仍然过高。”
"This report demonstrates continued progress toward ending homelessness, but also a need to re-calibrate policy to make future efforts more effective and aligned with the unique needs of different communities."
“报告表明，要终结流浪者的现象，需要不断努力，同时也需要调整政策，使其更加高效，且符合不同社区里面的具体需要。”
The U.S. Housing and Urban Development report, which came out earlier this month, was based on "Point-In-Time Estimates of Homelessness" taken on a single night in January 2019.
美国房屋与城市发展部报告报告于本月出台，这份报告参考了2019年1月1份一天内进行的流浪者即时评估结果。
Advocates point to the compounding effects of long-standing discrimination and inequalities within the country's housing, criminal justice and health care systems to explain why African Americans make up such a large portion of the homeless population compared with their overall proportion of the general population.
相比于美国总人口中的比例，非裔美国人之所以在流浪者中站如此之高的比例，工作人员们指出，其原因可能是相比于美国总人口中的比例非裔，美国人之所以在流浪者中站如此之高的比例，工作人员能指出，其原因可能是在美国的房屋，犯罪审判以及医保系统方面复杂的长期的歧视和不平等。
"This year's report is as an urgent call to action to federal, state, and local leaders," Nan Roman, president and CEO of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, said in a statement in response to the report's findings.
“今年的报告对于联邦政府，州政府，以及当地政府的领导者来说都发出了强烈的呼吁。”美国终结流量者联盟的CEO南-罗曼在对这份报告进行回应的一份声明中说道。
"Now is not the time to abandon the practices that drove those results. Now is the time to get serious about funding them to scale."
“如今，我们不应该放弃这先前的努力，如今我们应该努力把之前的努力推广到更大的范围。”
The organization's research found that poverty was a strong predictor of homelessness, and noted that African American households are much more likely to experience poverty than their white counterparts.
该组织研究发现，贫困度是流浪者现象的重要指标，并指出，非裔美国人家庭比白种人家庭更容易陷入贫困。
About 21% of African Americans live in poverty -- nearly 2.5 times the rate of whites, the organization said.
美国约有21%的非裔美国家庭处于贫困中，是白种人的该数字的2.5倍，该组织称。
"This isn't the fault of the homelessness sector, and it is not the fault of people experiencing homelessness," Roman said.
“这不是那些流浪者社区的错误，也不是真正经历着流浪的人们的错误。”罗曼说道。
"It is the fault of systems that have failed our most vulnerable populations, and leaders who have failed to protect them. Our charge for 2020 is to remain committed to the best practices in ending homelessness, and to remain resolved to addressing the systems that cause people to become homeless."
“这是我们的系统出了问题，以至于使这些贫困的人们陷入困境，我们的领导人也没能很好地保护他们。我们2020年的目标就是继续努力，继续努力改善这种事如此多的人变成流浪者的体系。”
