3. developing countries：发展中国家

4. food shortages：粮食短缺

5. lack of access to clean water：缺乏干净的水

世界上仍有许多地区的儿童死于饥饿（死于没有足够的食物）。不幸的是，极度贫困在发展中国家的农村地区很普遍，那里的人口经常遭受粮食短缺（没有足够的食物）和缺乏干净的水。

句子2：In the cities, homeless peoplesleep on the streets if there is not enough room in local homeless shelters. There are also many families on the margins of society(outside the dominant society and culture) who are living below the poverty lineand struggle to make ends meet every month. Although many governments create welfare programs(programs that give money to poor people) to alleviate poverty, the widening gap between rich and poor suggests that poverty may never be completely eradicated.

2. homeless shelters：流浪汉收容所

3. on the margins of society：社会的边缘

4. living below the poverty line：生活在贫困线以下

5. welfare programs：福利计划

6. alleviate poverty：缓解贫困

中文翻译：

在城市里，如果当地无家可归者（流浪汉）收容所没有足够的空间的话，无家可归的人就会露宿街头。还有许多处于社会边缘（主流社会和文化之外）的家庭，他们生活在贫困线以下，每个月只能勉强维持生计。尽管许多政府制定了福利计划（给穷人钱的计划）来缓解贫困，但贫富差距的扩大表明贫困可能永远不会被完全消除。
