请帮忙翻译一下这篇课文 拜托各位 急急急

If you look for a book as a present for a child, you will be spoiled for choice
even in a year when thereis no new Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling's wizard is
not alone: the past decade has been a harvest for goodchildren's books,
which has set off a large quantity of films and in turn led to increased sales
of classicssuch as The Lord of the Rings. Yet despite that, reading
is increasingly unpopular among children. According to statistics, in 1997 23% said they didn't like reading at all. In 2003, 35% did. And around 6% of
children leave primary school each year unable to read properly. Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computer games.
Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile.
Either way, Chancellor Gordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of
the class. In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of
Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most. Reading Recovery is aimed at six-year-olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation earlier this year reported that children on the scheme made 20 months' progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months' progress, and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.
International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school they read well, but read less - often for fun than those elsewhere. Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can expect lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success. According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage

假如你要找一本书给孩子做礼物，就算是在一年后，《哈利波特》已经不会再出新书的时候，你也会面临眼花缭乱的选择。J.K罗琳的小巫们不会孤单。过去十年是儿童读书的收货季，大量的电影依次进入视野导致了像《指环王》经典名著的热销。尽管如此，阅读这些并不是在孩子们中流行。根据数据显示，在1997年23%的人说他们一点也不喜欢阅读。到2003年，35%的人这么说。并且每年大约有6%的孩子小学毕业了都不能正确地阅读。可能因为电脑游戏的风靡导致了阅读能力的衰退。可能书籍的繁荣只是影响着教育领域上层的人。
不管怎样，校长戈登布朗打算为在班级垫底的孩子改变些什么。在他的先期预算报告中，他宣布了关于帮助最不懂阅读的孩子恢复阅读能力的国家项目。恢复阅读能力计划是为了六岁的孩子，他们会受到四个月的每天个人的有特殊老师指导半小时课。今年的早起评估报告出计划中的孩子仅仅一年中就有二十个月的进步，相似的是没有特殊帮助的弱阅读者只有五个月的进步，并且一年甚至更久后阅读水平他们年龄该有的水平还要低。国际研究发现英国孩子小学毕业后可以阅读流畅，但是比起那些其他的很少为了获得快乐而阅读。趣味阅读很重要因为坚持阅读的孩子可以得到终身的快乐，爱读书是一个很棒的未来教育成功的指标。根据经济合作与发展组织，成为一个合格的和热情的读者是很有优势的。
