翻译 无忧无虑的青少年们究竟怎么了？
2 Public-health campaigns, better education and more hands-on parenting have no doubt had some effect.
分析 本句主干是Public-health campaigns, better education and more hands-on parenting have no doubt。
翻译 各式公共健康运动的展开、教育水平的提高以及父母更多亲力亲为地指导，无疑都会对他们形成一定影响。
3 Some young people are probably staying inside watching television and playing video games instead of smoking behind the bike sheds.

5 The proportion of 15-to 24-year-olds who identify themselves as “white British” has fallen slightly in the past decade, to about 80%.
分析 本句主干是The proportion has fallen。of 15-to 24-year-olds是The proportion的后置定语，who identify themselves as “white British” 是15-to 24-year-olds的定语从句，in the past decade是时间状语，to about 80%是The proportion的后置定语。identify...as...表示“把......识别成......”或者直接理解为“把......视为......”。
翻译 过去十年里，15-24岁的 “白种英国人”占总人口的80%，比例稍微下滑。
6 Among the groups filling the gap are British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, who are less likely to drink or take drugs than their white peers.
分析 本句主干是filling the gap are British Pakistanis and Bangladeshis。who引导非限制性定语从句，从句主干是who are less likely to drink or take drugs。
翻译 其余20%的人群包括巴基斯坦裔英国人及孟加拉裔英国人，他们酗酒和吸毒的可能性比同龄白种人低。
7 Just as important, young people have less money with which to indulge their hedonistic instincts.
分析 本句主干是young people have less money。with which to indulge their hedonistic instincts是伴随状语，which to indulge their hedonistic instincts作with的宾语从句。
翻译 另一个重要的因素是，年轻人手里的积蓄变少了，也没办法放纵自己的享乐本能。
8 Far fewer young people work than did ten years ago, because of the economic slump and the expansion of higher education.
分析 本句主干是Far fewer young people work。than did ten years ago是比较状语从句。because引导原因状语。

11 Between 1997 and 2011 the average weekly wage earned by 18-to 2-year-olds declined by one-tenth in real terms.
分析 本句主干是the average weekly wage declined。Between 1997 and 2011是时间状语，earned by 18-to 2-year-olds是wage的后置定语，by one-tenth in real terms是方式状语。
翻译 扣除物价因素，1997年至2011年间，18-21岁年轻人的周平均工资下降了十分之一。
12 It is considerably harder to be rebellious if you have no money and live in your childhood bedroom.
