英语翻译
Education Must Be A Priority Australians,whose present comfort was built largely by the sheer physical labor of farmers and miners,have not traditionally placed a high value on formal education.
Perhaps those early values are still reflected in our governments’ spending priorities.According to an OECD report,Australia spends less on education (primary,secondary and tertiary) than most other Western countries.Canada,the United States,France and Sweden – the kind of countries we like to compare ourselves to – devote a higher proportion of their gross domestic product to education than we do,even through we have a higher proportion of school age children.Though it might be expected that we would spend more on education because of our younger population,Australia,with 24 per cent more children,spends about 10 per cent less on education than the group’s average.We also lag well behind most other OECD countries in the proportion of students remaining at school past the mandatory age.
World Bank studies of the causes of development have concluded that education is the single most important factor in ensuring a high standard of living for a country and its individuals.That being so,the OECD findings are cause for concern.Admittedly,the report is based on 1986 –87 figures,and since then there has been a very significant improvement in the school retention rate and a slight improvement in education funding.But the relatively low priority still accorded to education on Australia’s spending list indicates a remarkable short-sightedness.

题目：《教育必优先》
现在的舒适生活绝大程度上建立在农民和矿工的纯体力劳动上的澳大利亚人,传统上并未特别重视过正式教育.
或许这些早期的价值观仍体现在我们政府的财政支出优先顺序上.根据一份来自OECD(经济合作与发展组织)的报告,澳大利亚话费少于大多西方国家的经费于教育之上（这些教育包括初等、中等和高等教育）.加拿大、美国、法国和瑞典,那些我们经常拿来与自己比较的国家,尽管我们有更多的学龄儿童比例,但上述国家却均投入了更多的GDP比例于教育事业之中.尽管由于更大数量的年轻人口,有着百分之24的学龄儿童,却花费了少于美加法瑞四国平均投入比10%的投入.我们相比多也落后于OECD其他加入国对已超过义务教育年龄却仍在接受教育的学生的财政投入.
世界银行关于发展的起因的报告总结说,教育,是能够保障一个国家和他的居民高生活质量的最重要的因素,没有之一.这就意味着,OECD这一调查报告（指澳大利亚教育投入少的报告）着实令人担忧.不可否认地,虽然该报告基于1986-87年的数据撰写,而且自那以后澳大利亚在持续学习率上有着明显的提高,并在教育基金投入上有些略微进步.但是,在财政预算上对教育仍相对的低投入优先度,仍然体现着澳大利亚政府的不折不扣的目光短浅.
（文章不难,应该是高考难度的样子.
完全手打,仍有疑问可追问.看到那些在楼主已经强调不要机器翻译却仍煞有介事装模作样企图不劳而获甚至一段一段机器翻译装模作样的人,心里一阵捉急.）
