　　对于一名女子来说，传统美是她的唯一标志。她的皮肤应该天生丽质，没有皱纹，没有疤痕，没有瑕疵。她的身材应该消瘦苗条，通常高挑个，双腿修长，其中青春年少则是首要条件。所有在电视广告中出现的“花容月貌”的靓女都符合这个标准。这种形象是认为的，是可以人工塑造的。许多妇女尽其所能来摆布和修改自己的容貌体态。

练习题：就业不平等现象

　　在中国，就业方面的不平等现象仍然是一个严重的问题。性别歧视的根本原因是,“男尊女卑(female inferiority)”的错误观念在许多人心目中仍根深蒂固。为了解决这个问题，应该逐渐形成一种新的性别文化，以增加两性间的和谐，政府也应该探索可以提升女性就业前景的市场机制。这是一个长期而艰巨的任务，需要所有政府部门的投人和协作。在家庭暴力(domestic violence)的问题上，完善法律体制将是解决这个问题的最好的办法。

　　参考译文:

　　Inequality in employment is still a serious issue inChina.The fundamental cause of genderdiscrimination is the incorrect idea of femaleinferiority that is still ingrained in many people'sminds.In solving this problem,a new gender cultureshould be cultivated to increase harmony betweenthe two sexes and the government should explore market mechanisms that can promotewomen's job prospects.It is a long and arduous task that requires input and coordinationfrom all government agencies.On the issue of domestic violence,improving the legal systemwould be the best way to deal with it.

　　湖泊奇妙无比。苍鹭(Heron)在岸边缓缓地迈着步子，翠鸟(Kingfisher)和杜鹃换脚着从阳光里飞入树荫，火鸡模样的大鸟在枯枝间忙碌，鹰在头上盘旋。我们毋庸为时间担忧，可以从容地欣赏周围的一切。我乘坐的独木舟船头坐着个男孩，他用简陋的弹弓(sling)发射石弹击打飞鸟。他摆出漂亮的架势瞄准飞鸟，却一次又一次地偏离目标：鸟总是飞出他的射程。他把弹弓塞回进衬衣内。我移开目光。

　　湖水与河水都如热带雨林中的树叶那样乳浊：那水是面纱，是窗帘，是画屏。

　　This lake was amazing and wonderful.Herons plodded along the shores,Kingfishers and cuckoos clattered from sunlight to shade,great turkeylike birds fussed in dead branches,and hawks hovered above us.There was all the time in the world.And we could appreciate everything surrounding by leisurely.The boy in the bow of my canoe slapped stones at birds with a simple sling,a rubber thong and leather pad.He aimed brilliantly at moving targets,missed again and again;the birds were out of his range.He stuffed his sling back in his shirt.Then I looked away.

　　The lake and river waters were as opaque as rainforest leaves;the water was veil,blind,painted screen.
