翻译原文：
据统计，全国共有超过6100万留守儿童(left-behindchildren)。他们的父母远离家乡到城镇地区谋生，留下他们由祖父母或其他亲戚照顾。留守儿童问题是一个值得关注的社会问题。留守儿童无法像同龄孩子那样得到父母的关爱，从而引起各种心理问题。此外，留守儿童更容易受到意外伤害。为此国务院(State Council)成立了一个专门工作组来保护留守儿童的合法权益。
1.第2句有两个分句，可将前一分句处理为句子的主干，后半句“留下他们由……照顾”可处理为状语，用现在分词短语leaving them taken care of by…来表达。前一分句“远离家乡到城镇地区谋生”有两个动作“远离”和“谋生”，可将“谋生”作为句子的谓语，“远离家庭”处理为修饰“城镇地区”的定语，整句译为earn a living in urban areas far away from home.
2.第3句“留守儿童问题是—个值得关注的社会问题”中，有两个“问题”，按照英语表达习惯要避免重复，故分别译为problem和issue.定语“值得关注的”较长，进行后置处理，可用介词短语of concern或worth concerning 来表达。
3.第4句中的“得到父母的关爱”可直译为receive/get parents' care但较生硬，不如译文中的表达enjoy parents' care来得精彩，表达出“享受”的感觉。“像同龄孩子那样”不能直译为as their peers，而应补充出“得到父母的关爱”的动作才能达意，为避免重复，用动词do来代替。“从而引起……”作结果状语，用分词短语 resulting in…来表达。
4.最后一句中的“来保护留守儿童的合法权益”作目的状语，用不定式短语toprotect the legal rights and interests of left-behind children来表达。定语“留守儿童的”较长，故将其后置。
