Still, the work of the Fair Housing Act remains unfinished.
但是《公平住房法》的任务并没有完成
Just a few weeks ago, the Supreme Court ruled that policies segregating minorities in poor neighborhoods,
就在几周前最高法院判决在贫困地区隔离少数民族的政策
even unintentionally, are against the law.
即使是无意的也视为违法
The Court recognized what many people know to be true from their own lives:
最高法院意识到一点 这也是许多人在日常生活中体会到的一点
that too often, where people live determines what opportunities they have in life.
那就是居住地往往决定了人生中所能获得的机遇
In some cities, kids living just blocks apart lead incredibly different lives.
有些城市 仅仅几个街区之隔 孩子们的生活就天差地别
They go to different schools, play in different parks,
他们去不同的学校上学 在不同的公园玩耍
shop in different stores, walk down different streets.

And often, the quality of those schools and the safety of those parks and streets are far from equal,
并且通常学校的质量以及公园和街道的安全性 也相差甚远
which means those kids aren't getting an equal shot in life.
这些都意味着 孩子们没有获得同等的机会
