The book explores the factors which contribute to people who are extremely successful in their careers, for example, the role that family, culture, and friendship play.这是一本有趣的书的基本思想称为离群值,由美国记者马尔科姆·格拉德威尔。这本书探讨 了因素造成非常成功的人在他们的职业生涯,例如,角色,家庭,文化, 和友谊比赛。 Gladwell examines the causes of why the majority of Canadian ice hockey players are born in the first few months of the calendar year, what the founder of Microsoft Bill Gates did to achieve his extraordinary success, and why the Beatles managed to redefine the whole of popular music in the 1960s.格拉德威尔检查的原因为什么大多数加拿大冰 曲棍球运动员出生最初几个月的日历年,什么 微软的创始人比尔?盖茨(Bill Gates)来实现他的与众不同 成功,为什么甲壳虫乐队设法重新定义整个流行 在1960年代的音乐。 Gladwell points out that the youth hockey league in Canada recruits from January the first, so that players born early in the year are bigger, stronger and better athletes than others born later in the year. And because they have this advantage at the start of their sports career, they’re given extra coaching, and so there’s a greater chance that they’ll be picked for an elite hockey team in the future.格拉德威尔指出,青年在加拿大冰球联盟成员从1月第一,所以玩家在年初出生 比其他的更大、更强、更好的运动员在今年晚些时候出生的。和 因为他们有这种优势在他们的运动生涯,他们 获得额外的辅导,所以有更大的机会,他们会选择 在未来的精英曲棍球队。 He calls this phenomenon accumulative advantage, a bit like the idea that the rich get richer and poor get pooer. Success depends on the process by which talented athletes are identified as much as it does on their own abilities.他称这一现象累计优势,有点像这个想法 富者更富,穷人得到订单。成功取决于这一过程 有才华的运动员被确定为它自己 的能力。 Another aspect which contributes to success is the 10,000 hour rule. Great success demands an enormous amount of time for practice and Training. For example, the Beatles performed live in Hamvurg Germany more than 1,200 times over four years, much more than the 10,000 hours Gladwell claims is necessary for great success. So by the time they returned to England, they had developed their talent and sounded completely different from any other group.导致成功的另一个方面是10000小时的规则。 成功需要大量的时间和练习 培训。例如,披头士在Hamvurg德国表现生活 1200倍以上的四年里,远远超过10000小时格拉德威尔声称对于成功是必要的。所以他们回到英国的时候,他们已经开发了人才和听起来完全不同于其他组。 In the sam e way , Bill Gates had thousands of hours’ worth of programming because he had access to a computer at his high school. He also became a teenager just at the right time to take advantage of the latest developments in computer technology.同样的,比尔盖茨有数千小时的编程,因为他使用电脑在他的高中。他也成为了一个少年只是在正确的时间利用计算机技术的最新发展。 All through the book, Gladwell repeats his claim that it’s not just talent or genius which determines someone’s success, but opportunity, advantage and even simple good luck.通过这本书,格拉德威尔重复他说不仅仅是天赋还是天才决定一个人的成功,但机会,优势,甚至简单的好运。 Outliers has met with extraordinary success, matched only by Gladwell’s own career over 25 years in journalism. As a result, many critics have seen it as an autobiography, in which the writer appears to be apologizing for his own personal achievements. But the idea that you have to be born at the right moment, in the right place and in the right family, and then you have to work really hard is a thought-provoking way of revisiting our traditional view of genius and great achievement. It’s certainly worth reading, as long as you don’t take it too seriously.离群值已经取得了非凡的成功,只有格拉德威尔的新闻职业生涯超过25年。因此,许多批评人士将其视为一个自传,道歉的作家似乎为自己的个人成就。但是你必须出生在正确的时机、正确的地点和正确的家庭,然后你必须要努力工作是一个发人深省的方式重新审视我们的传统观点的天才和伟大的成就。的确值得一读,只要你不要把它太当回事。 Passage2 Presenter: Hi we’re t alking about typical working hours in the US and in Brazil.

Each one had a cliffhanger at the end that made people want to read the next episode.查尔斯·狄更斯是19世纪英国最受欢迎的小说家之一。他的许多 小说首次出现在杂志,简而言之集。每一个一个扣人心弦,让人想读下一个 事件。 Andy And was he a Londoner?他,一个伦敦人吗?

Janet That’s right, especially around Docklands. The thing was…Dickens was a social commentator as much as he was a novelist-his stories describe the hardship, the poverty, and crime which many Londoners experienced in the 19th century.

Maybe I’ll just go shopping for a copy of Great Expectations.这是正确的,尤其是在码头 区。的事情是…狄更斯是一个社会评论家一样他是novelist-his故事描述 困难,贫困和犯罪,很多伦敦人在19世纪。这让我想再读一些狄更斯。也 许我会去购物远大前程的副本。 Andy Anyway, you did me a huge favor.

Chris Well , let me see, it’s over 20 years now. I think it’s actually one of the oldest book groups around , because it was only about 20 years ago that they started to become fashionable in the UK.好吧,让我看看,现在超过20年了。 我认为这实际上是一个最古老的书组,因为这是只有大约20年前,他们开 始在英国成为一种时尚。 Mike And how often do you have meetings ?你多久开会? Chris We meet about once every four or five weeks , although we try to avoid meetings in the summer holidays, and during the run-up to Christmas when we all start to get busy with other things.我们每隔四到五周左右见面,虽然 我们尽量避免会议在暑假,在圣诞节前当我们都开始忙着其他的事情。Mike And how many members do you have?你有多少成员? Chris We’re ten in all .although it’s rare that everyone can attend.我们十个。尽管很少,每个人都可以参加。 Mike And what happens during the meeting?和会议期间会发生什么呢? Chris Well,we usually meet at one of our homes ,and we start fairly late, around 8.30 ,and the host prepares dinner, and sometime during the meal , someone asks ―So what did you think of the book ?‖ and that’s when the discussion starts.我们通常在一个我们的家,我们开始较晚,约8.30,和主机准备晚餐, 有时候吃饭期间,有人问―你觉得这本书怎么样?―当讨论开始。 Mik e It sounds quite informal.它听起来很随意 Chris It is , yes , and sometimes if we haven’t e njoyed the book , the meal becomes more important than the discussion. But it’s fairly rare that no one likes the book, and it gets quite interesting when opinions about it are divided 是的,有时如果我们没有喜欢这本书,这顿饭比讨论更重要。但这是相当罕 见的,没有人喜欢这本书,它很有趣当意见有分歧 Mkie and what sort of books do you read?你读什么样的书? Chris Oh, all kinds, actually, not just novels, although I must admit that being a member of the club makes me read more modern fiction than I might do otherwise. But we also read the classics, you know the novels we all read or should have read 30 years ago, and it’s quite good fun to revisit them, to see if our views of the books have changed. We re-read Thomas Hardy recently, and whereas I used to love it when I was a student, this time I thought it was exasperatingly dull. And we read non-fiction, quite a lot of history and travel writing. A couple of the members like poetry, which I don’t, but you know, we’re tolerant of each other’s choice, and it gives us a chance to try things we wouldn’t usually read哦,各种各样,事实上,不仅仅是小说,尽管我必须 承认,作为一个俱乐部的成员比我可能让我阅读更多的现代小说。但我们也读经典,你知道小说我们都读或者应当读30年前,和很好的乐趣重新审视他们,看看我们的观点的书已经改变了。我们最近重读托马斯·哈代,而我以前喜欢它当我还是一个学生,这一次,我认为这是令人生气地乏味。我们阅读非小说,相当多的历史和旅行写作。成员喜欢诗歌,我不要,但你知道,我们宽容对方的选择,它给我们一个尝试的机会我们通常不会读的东西 Mike And how do you choose the books?你选择的书?

Chris Yes, although there’s quite a lot of stress on c hoosing something that will earn everyone else’s respect. And we’ve got one member who likes science fiction, so we try not to goto his place too often!是的,虽然有很多的压力选择一些能赢得别人的尊重。我们有一个成员谁喜欢科幻小说,所以我们尽量不要经常转到他的地方! Passage 2 Well, thank you for your kind welcome, and for giving me the opportunity to give this brief tour of Literary England. I can’t claim it’s an authoritative tour, as I’m not a professional literary specialist. However, I have two amateur passions: one is travel and the other is reading, and English literature in particular. And this lecture is a description of different visits I have made to places in Britain and Ireland, chosen specifically for their close links with well-known writers of what we call the classics of English literature. Just to give you an overview of the lecture, I’m going to start in my home town of London, which is also the home of many well-known writers. But I think that the picture we have in our mind of London has been largely fashioned by the work of Charles Dickens and Shakespeare. Dickensian London illustrated most clearly by his book Oliver Twist, and Shakespeare’s London brings to mind the plays written and performed here, such as Romeo and Juliet. We’ll also have a look at the memorial of great British writers, Poets’ Corner in Westminster Abbey.嗯,谢谢你的欢迎,给我这个机会给这个英国文学的简要介绍。我不能说这是一个权威的旅游,因为我不是一个专业的文学专家。然而,我有两个业余爱好:一个是旅行,另一个是阅读,尤其是英语文学。和这节课是一个描述不同的访问我的地方在英国和爱尔兰,选择专门为他们的密切联系与著名的作家我们所说的英国古典文学名著。只是为了给你一个概述的讲座,我要开始在我的家乡伦敦,这也是许多著名作家的家。但我认为伦敦的照片在我们的思想很大程度上塑造了查尔斯·狄更斯和莎士比亚的作品。狄更斯的伦敦画报》最明显的在他的书《雾都孤儿》,和莎士比亚的伦敦让我想起这里的编写和执行,如《罗密欧与朱丽叶》。我们也会看看的纪念伟大的英国作家,诗人角在威斯敏斯特教堂。 Then off we go to Oxford, another city rich in its literary history. I’m going to focus on the greatest of Oxford’s literary alumni, JRR Tolkien, the professor o f English who wrote Lord of the Rings, which is now famous throughout the world because of the recent series of films.然后我们去牛津大学,另一个城市丰富的文学历史。我要专注于牛津的文学最伟大的校友,托尔金,教授英语谁写的《魔戒》,目前全世界著名,因为最近的一系列电影。 Then we turn south towards the gentle countryside of Hampshire, home of Jane Austen, where her various novels, including Pride and Prejudice are set. She also spent a period of her life in the magnificent Georgian city Bath.然后我们把南汉普郡的温柔的农村,家里的简·奥斯丁,她各种小说,包括《傲慢与偏见》是集。她还花了一段时间的她的生活在华丽的格鲁吉亚城市浴。 Then we turn north to the hills of West Yorkshire where we find Bronte country, so called because it was the home of the three sisters, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bronte. Perhaps the two best known novels are Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights, also made into successful films. 然后我们把北西约克郡的山,我们发现勃朗特的国家,所谓的因为它是三姐妹的家,夏洛特,艾米莉和安妮·勃朗特。也许是两个最著名的小说是夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《简爱》,和艾米莉。勃朗特的《呼啸山庄》,也制成成功的电影。 Then up to the northwest, to the stunning land of mountains and Lakeland poets. Perhaps its most famous son is Will iam Wordsworth, whose poem ―I wandered lonely as a cloud‖ has been learnt by generations of school children not just in Britain, but around the English-speaking world.然后到西北,山脉和湖畔诗人的惊人的土地。也许最著名的儿子威廉·华兹华斯的诗―我作为一个孤云‖已经被一代又一代的学生不仅学会了在英国,但在英语世界里。 So that’s the basic route Literary England, although I’ll be taking several days to visit other famous writers whose work contributes to the glory which is English literature. Let’s start…这是基本路线文学英格兰,尽管我将花几天访问其他著名作家他的作品对英国文学的荣耀。让我们开始… Unit 3 Fashion statements Inside view Conversation 1 Tanya Hey! That looks good on you! You should try it on!嘿!你看起来很不错!你应该试穿一下!

In recent years, there has been an increasing tendency by designers to use only the slimmest of models who show off their clothes to the best advantage. Critics claimed that the size zero models encourage young women of all sizes to reduce their weight to unhealthy levels.伦敦时装表演将引入一个类似禁令的零自己是英国大小4,或欧洲大小32。近年来,人们越来越倾向的设计师只使用最薄的模特展示他们的衣服最好的优势。批评人士声称,零模型鼓励年轻女性各种规模的大小减少体重不健康的水平。 The Body Mess Index is measured by taking your weight in kilos divided by your height in metres squared. It’s considered to be a more accurate measurement of a person’s health than the dress size they wear.混乱的身体指数是通过测量你的体重在米体重除以身高的平方。它被认为是更准确地测量一个人的健康比他们穿衣服大小。 But it appears that contributors to the London Fashion Show are nervous about Milan and Madrid’s concern for the health of their fashion models. A spokesperson said,―We refuse to comment on or interfere in the creativity of the designers displaying their collections at our show.‖Othe rs claimed that designers were not uncaring, and would use their common sense.―It’s an obvious choice not to use a model who is clearly unhealthy,‖said one industry insider.但似乎贡献者伦敦时装秀担心米兰和马德里对健康的关心他们的时装模特。一位发言人说:―我们拒绝置评或干涉设计师展示他们的创意集合在我们的节目。―其他人声称设计师并不冷漠,会使用他们的常识。―这是一个显而易见的选择不使用一个模型显然是不健康的,‖一名业内人士表示。 One unnamed designer said that he couldn’t afford to design dresses in sizes which are more realistic for the average woman. He said that if he made them any bigger, no one would use them in photo shoots fo r magazines. It’s not the designers who are promoting size zero models. It’s the fashion magazines and ultimately, it’s the customers—the people who buy the magazines—who decide what we design and promote in fashion shows.一个不知名的设计师说他买不起设计礼服的大小是更现实的普通女性。他说,如果他让他们任何更大的,没有人会使用它们为杂志拍照。这不是设计师促进大小为零的模型。时尚杂志和最终的顾客买magazines-who决定我们的人设计,促进在时装表演。 To explore the different sides of the debate we’ve invited a couple of leading fashion specialists into the studio… 探索不同侧面的辩论我们邀请几个领先的时尚专家到工作室… Unit4 Money talks Inside view Conversation1 Andy So what happened then?那么发生了什么?

But what I’m suggesting is that isn’t necessarily so that money gives us more choices, but it doesn’t give us the blissful answer.我想我们大多数人认为问题在生活中,我们会得到解决,如果我们有更多的钱。但我想说的是,不一定钱给了我们更多的选择,但它不给我们幸福的答案。 Listening in Passage1 Presenter With me today is Tara Black,author of the History of Money.Tara,before we had money,we exchanged things,didn’t we?的作者和我今天是塔拉黑色钱的历史。塔拉,在我们有钱,我们交换的东西,不是吗? Tara Yes,that’s right.In the Stone Age,people exchanged things like salt or cattle.But of course the probl em is that the things you exchange don’t last.And so money was introduced as a more permanent way of paying for things.And of couse,money’s also a lot easier to use.You can carry it around with you very easily.是的,这是正确的。在石器时代,人们交换盐或牛之类的东西。当然,问题是你交流不会持续。所以钱被引入作为一个更永久的支付方式。当然,钱也更容易使用。你可以随身带着它,你很容易。 Presenter So when did people start changing from exchanging goods to paying for things with money?所以当人们开始改变交换商品和资金支付的事情吗? Tara Well,as far back as 5000BC,people in China and the Middle East were exchanging metals for goods.嗯,早在公元前5000年,在中国和中东的人交换金属商品。 Presenter As long ago as that?早在吗? Tara Yes.The first silver ingots…是的。第一个银锭的… Presenter Silver bars?银条吗? Tara Yes-they appeared around 2200BC in Europe and were used as currency.Coins then appeared in Lydia around 700BC.嗯,他们出现在公元前2200年在欧洲和被用作货币。硬币然后丽迪雅出现在公元前700年左右。 Presenter Lydia? Tara Lydia was a country in what’s now known as Turkey.Then other countries followed their example and started producing them.A Greek coin,the drachma,became standard form of money in large of Aisa and Europe.莉迪亚是一个国家的现在被称为土耳其。然后其他国家跟随他们的例子,开始生产他们。希腊硬币,德拉克马,成为标准形式的钱在很大的亚洲和欧洲。 Presenter And the first paper money?和第一个纸币? Tara Paper money was first used in China around 960AD.首次使用纸币在中国在公元960年左右。 Presenter It’s always China,isn’t it?它总是中国,不是吗? Tara Quite often,yes.通常,是的。 Presenter So as well as being long-lasting and convenient,a big advantage of coins and paper money is that they have a standard value. 所以作为持久和 方便,硬币和纸币的一大优势是,他们有一个标准的价值。 Tara Yes.They’ve what’s k nown as representative money.Every coin or paper note has a certain value that doesn’t depend on the actual value of the paper or metal.是的。他们所谓的代表金钱。每枚硬币或纸注意有一 定的价值,并不依赖于纸张或金属的实际价值。 Presenter And how did banks start?和银行开始如何? Tara Both the early Persians and tne Ancient Egyptians had storehouses where they kept their country’s grain- we're talking about 3000 BC. They exchanged the grain for promissory notes.This meant a written promise to pay back a sum of money to someone.Really,these storehouses can be seen as the first banks.早期波斯人和古埃及人美圆 仓库,他们把他们国家的粮食,我们讨论的是公元前3000年。他们交 换了本票的谷物。这意味着一份书面承诺偿还一笔钱的人。真的, 这些仓库可以被视为第一银行。 Presenter I see.我明白了 Tara So over a great many centuries banks became places where money was deposited and lent.And they guaranteed that a note of a certain value could be exchanged for a certain amount of silver.所以在很多世纪银行 成为钱的地方沉积和借出。他们保证的某个值可兑换一定量的银。Presenter And then there was the gold standard,wasn’t there?然后是金本位制,不是吗? Tara Yes,the gold standard was applied all over the world from 1870 to 1915,but it was slowly abandoned.是的,金本位是应用在世界各地从 1870年到1915年,但它是慢慢地放弃了。 Presenter When did it become easier…什么时候变得简单… P a s s a g e2 Speaker 1 As a student, you are probably living on a very limited amount of money,so here are our top useful tips to help you make your money go further.作为一名学生,你可能生活在一个非常有限的钱,这是我们最 主要的有用的技巧来帮助你让你的钱走得更远。 Speaker 2One. Say no to credit cards! Bands may encourage you to use their cheap credit card facilities where you buy now and pay later. It looks great but it’s so easy to get into debt. If you do have a credit card, hide it and get it out only when you absolutely have to.第一。说没有信用卡!乐队可能 鼓励你使用廉价的信用卡设施以后,你现在购买并支付。它看起来很 好但很容易陷入债务。如果你有信用卡,把它藏起来,只有当你必须得 到它。 Speaker 1Two. Look for bargains! You can look great in second-hand clothes and you can find real bargins in second-hand shops and charity shops. Learn to love eBay and look there first rather than in shop windows. It could make all the difference.第二。寻找便宜!你可以在二手衣服看起来很 好,你可以在二手商店和慈善商店找到真正的议价。首先学会爱eBay 和搜查的地方而不是在商店橱窗。它可以使所有的差异。Speaker 2Three. Stick to a budget! Work out exactly how much you have coming in each month and your necessary expenditure –what you absolutely must spend, like rent, bills and food before you look at your disposable income –this means what you’v e got left for any extras and treats. Think first – do you really need that pair of shoes and can you afford to go to a restaurant this month?三。坚持预算!准确找出今后每个月你有 多少和你的必要支出——你必须花钱,比如租金、账单和食物之前看 看你的可支配收入——这意味着你还剩下任何临时演员和治疗。认 为第一,你真的需要一双鞋你能负担得起这个月去餐馆吃饭吗? Speaker 1Four. Give up your bad habits (or at least keep them under control!) If yo smoke, drink,buy expensive coffee or regularly eat out,giving it up or at least reducing the amount you spend on these things will save you more money than you’d think.四。放弃你的坏习惯(或者至少控制它 们!)如果你吸烟,喝酒,经常买昂贵的咖啡或出去吃,或者至少减少你 花在这些事情可以节省更多的钱比你想的。 Speaker 2 Five. Find ways to save money! If you go to the supermarket at the ehd of the day you may find some fresh produce like meat and vegetables marked down in price. If you go to afternoon shows at the cinema or theatre you will save money while still going out and enjoying yourself. 五。想方设法省钱!如果你去超市ehd的一天你会发现一些新鲜农产 品喜欢肉和蔬菜的价格。如果你去下午显示在电影院或剧院你会省 钱的同时还出去享受自己。 Speaker 1 Six.Beg and borrow before you buy! If you need a book for an essay, has anyone else got it?Try and borrow it rather than buy it.六。求,借你买! 如果你需要一本书,一篇文章,别人得到了吗?试着借它而不是购买。Speaker 2 Seven.Plan ahead!A lot of unnecessary spending occurs because people fail to plan ahead and have to spend a lot of money at the last moment. Check your diary. When will you need those books for the essay you have to write in June? Can you borrow them now? Or you need to make a trip. Can you buy the ticket in advance rather than at the last moment at a higher price?七。提前计划!很多不必要的开支是因为人们无法提 前计划,需要花很多钱在最后一刻。检查你的日记。你什么时候需要 这些书这篇文章你写6月吗?你现在可以借他们吗?或者你需要一个 旅行。你可以提前购买机票,而不是在最后一刻以更高的价格吗? Speaker 1The economical habits you develop now while you’re at college will help you in later life. Don’t think ―I’m poor and miserable‖ but instead tell yourself,‖I’m developing a highly important life skill.‖And it’s absolutely true. 经济习惯你现在当你在大学会帮助你在以后的生 活。不认为―我贫穷和痛苦‖,而是告诉自己,―我是发展中一个非常重 要的生活技能。‖,这绝对是真的。 Unit5 Gender studies Inside view Conversation 1 Andy I loved the question you asked Tim Pearson about the financial crisis.我爱你问蒂姆·皮尔森关于金融危机的问题。 Janet well, I shouldn’t have asked it. After all, he’s an expert.好吧,我不该问。毕竟,他是一个专家。 Andy there you go again, you’re always putting yourself down. You don’t know how to take a compliment.你又来了,你总是贬低自己。你不知道如何采取一种恭维。 Janet true, I never find it easy to accept praise. Do you think woman have been conditioned to accept criticism?真的,我从来没有发现很容易接受赞美。你认为女人已经习惯于接受别人的批评? Andy Well, I think that’s gender stereotyping .Do you think that men are good at accepting compliments?嗯,我认为这是性别刻板印象。你认为,男人善于接受赞美吗? Janet Well, they seem to be able to deal with criticism much better.他们似乎能够更好的应对批评。 Andy Don’t you believe it!你不相信! Janet Anyway, thank you, I accept your compliment.不管怎样,谢谢你,我接受你的赞美。 Andy Not only that, but I think you’d make a really good TV present er.不仅如此,我认为你已经成为一个很好的电视节目主持人。 Janet I’m not so sure. I haven’t seen many women in television here.我不太确定。我还没有见过很多女性在电视。 Andy Well, in the media in general, I can assure you that there are lots of women in presenting and management.在媒体上,我可以向你保证,有很多女性在展现和管理。Janet Well, maybe, but I’m Chinese as well. I don’t think I’ll be accepted as a presenter on a British TV program.也许,但我是中国人。我不认为我会被接受作为一个在英国的电视节目主持人。 Andy Gender AND racial stereotyping. I mean, it depends on what job and sometimes where you work in London, of course, but generally, Londoners are proud of their multi-ethnic community. Especially the Chinese , because you cook great food!性别和种族刻板印象。我的意思是,这取决于工作,有时你在哪里工作在伦敦,当然,但是一般来说,伦敦人感到自豪的多民族社会。特别是中国,因为你烹饪美味的食物! Janet Now who’s doing the stereotyping! But seriously, look at all these smart women walking to work. Are they all secretaries or managers?现在是谁在做刻板印象!但是说真的,看看这些聪明的女人走路去上班。他们所有的秘书或经理吗? Andy OK, it’s a good point. I think that many women manage to get middle management jobs in most professions. B ut it’s true that a lot of them talk about the glass ceiling.好吧,这是一个很好的观点。我认为,许多女性在大多数职业弄到中层管理工作。但这是真的,很多人谈论玻璃天花板。 Janet What’s the glass ceiling?玻璃天花板是什么? Andy It’s the situation where a woman is successful in a company, but then she hits the glass ceiling-this invisible barrier which stops her going any higher in her career.情况是,一个女人成功的在一个公司,但后来她撞到玻璃天花板无形的屏障,阻止她发生任何更高的职业生涯。 Conversation 2 Janet So what do you think causes the glass ceiling?那么你认为导致玻璃天花板吗? And y It’s partly prejudice by men about women’s abilities in management. But it’s also when women take time off to have children, they don’t always recover the same power when they return to work.这部分由男性偏见对女性的能力管理。但它也是女性请假生孩子时,他们并不总是恢复重返工作岗位时相同的权力。 Janet It’s not fair那是不公平的 Andy You’re right, it’s no t fair. I read here that only five to ten per cent of the top companies in America and British are run by women.你是对的,这是不公平的。我读到这里,只有5 -百分之十的顶级公司在美国和英国是由女性经营的。 Janet That’s extraordinary ! In China there appears to be more women in top jobs, but I may be wrong.这是非凡的!在中国似乎有更多的女性在高层职位,但我可能是错的。 Andy And look, here are some more statistics. About 60 percent of university graduates in Europ and North America are women.看,这里有一些更多的统计数据。大约60%的大学毕业生在欧洲和北美是女性。 Janet So the percentage of women in the total workforce is growing.因此,总劳动力中女性所占比例越来越大。 Andy You got it! But women in the UK are in a slight majority-there are more women than men.你得到它了!但女性在英国处于轻微的多数是女性比男性多。Janet Do you think it’s especially bad in the UK, and in London especially?你认为在英国尤其糟糕,尤其是在伦敦吗? Andy Not really. Some jobs which were traditionally done by women, like nursing, are now also done by men, and there are traditional job’s, like engineering, which are done by women. And there are plenty of women’s football teams!不是真的。有些工作传统上由女性,像护理,现在也由男性,也有传统的工作,如工程,由女性完成的。和有很多女子足球队! Janet Women’s football! We have women’s football in China too.女子足球!我们也在中国女足。 Andy Mind you, their matches don't get many spectators!请注意,他们的比赛不要让许多观众! Janet I give up. What else has changed?我放弃了。改变了什么? Andy I think father spend more quality time with their children today. But I bet you it’s still the women who spend most time looking after the children and the home.我认为父亲今天花更多的宝贵时间与他们的孩子。但我敢打赌,你还是女人花大部分时间照顾孩子和家庭。 Janet I guess that’s true everywhere.我想这是真的无处不在。 Andy Anyway, I’m going home to watch the match on TV. The local women’s team, of course.不管怎样,我要回家看电视上的比赛。当然,当地妇女的团 队。 Janet It’s typical of you men! You always bring it back to football!这是你们男人的典型!你总是把它带回足球! Andy And that’s typical of you women! You always bring it back to gender stereotyping.这是典型的女人!你总是把它带回性别刻板印象。 Outside view In South Korea, women are participating more in the economic and political sectors than they were a decade ago.在韩国,妇女更多的参与到经济和政治 领域比十年前 But career aspirations for female students in South Korea still tend to be based on the traditional division of gender roles. They are accustomed to thinking of such jobs as teaching and nursing, whilst their male counterparts aim to become scientists and judges.但在韩国女学生职业理想仍然倾向于基于传统的性别角色分工。他们习惯于考虑教学和护理等工作,而男性的目标 成为科学家和法官。 Many of these young women are aware that if they want to be independent they need to train so they can have their own source of income.很多年轻女性都 知道,如果他们想要独立,他们需要训练,这样他们就可以有自己的收入来 源。 ―In the previous generation, women did not have the r ight to speak, because they did not have their own financial support. Therefore, our generation of women must work to be financially independent.‖ The growth in the number of women who work has caused the typical Soutn Korean household to change. For example, there are more women living alone. This is because the they can make their own money rather than depend on a man to support them. 在上一代,妇女没有说话的权利,因为他们没有自己的财政支持。因此,我 们这一代的女性必须工作要经济独立。―妇女工作的数量的增长导致了典 型的Soutn韩国家庭改变。例如,有更多的妇女独自生活。这是因为他们 可以使自己的钱而不是取决于一个人支持他们。 There has also been a rapid rise in the number of families in which both parents work. Married women increasingly want to participate in society but they need to balance family life and work.数量也快速增长的家庭中父母双方的工作。已婚妇女 越来越希望参与社会,但他们需要平衡家庭生活和工作。 ―After ma rriage, we all struggle with how to take care of our children and work.‖ The introduction of day care centres at some work places, such as the Chohung Bank, has helped to make it possible for mothers to work.―结婚后,我们都苦于如何照顾 我们的孩子和工作。―日托中心的介绍 一些工作场所,如Chohung银行,有助于使母亲去工作。 Whilst there women are at work, their children are in the day care centre. There they are usually very well looked after, receiving a balanced diet, playing lots of game and doing plenty of exercise.虽然女性在工作,孩子的日托中心。他们通常很好照顾,接收均衡饮食,玩很多的游戏,做大量的练习。 Day care centres are increasingly popular all across the world because they enable parents to work. Women employees at Chohung bank find it a big help, although the system is far from perfect.日托中心在世界各地越来越受欢迎,因为他们让父母工作。女性员工Chohung银行找到一个很大的帮助,尽管系统远非完美。 ―So far, my children have been well taken care of by our day care centre. However, it will be difficult when my children go to elementary school because I often have to work late. Who will take care of them? Our family recently decided to live together with our grandparents who might be able to take care of my children.―到目前为止,我的孩子们受到很好的照顾我们的日托中心。然而,它将是困难当我的孩子去小学,因为我经常要工作到很晚。谁来照顾他们?我们家最近决定与我们的祖父母住在一起可以照顾我的孩子。 Mothers also face other problems when they go to work. Women have traditionally been responsible for raising their children and often feel a strong sense of guilt when they put their children into day care. Some worry that it will have a negative impact on their children and that they may fail as a parent.妈妈去上班时还面临着其他问题。女性一直是负责抚养孩子和经常感到强烈的内疚当他们把孩子放到日托。有人担心它会对孩子产生负面影响,他们可能会失败作为一个家长。 On top of this, South Korean women often end up being less well paid than men with the same education.除此之外,韩国女性通常比男性挣的少最终成为了同样的教育。 ―Korean women’s status in the labour market has not b een much improved in spite of a continuing rise in their presence in the labour force and the level of their education. The majority of working women are still crowded in low status job; many of which are found in the secondary market.‖ So there are still lots of issues facing women going to work- they are still having to choose between their families and their careers. What can be done to ensure that women are rewarded for their valuable contribution to the working world?―韩国女性在劳动力市场的地位并没有太多改善,尽管在他们面前不断上升的劳动力和他们的教育水平。绝大多数职业女性仍在拥挤的地位低下的工作,其中许多是在二级市场上找到。―所以还是有很多妇女去工作面临的问题——他们仍然不得不在他们的家庭和事业之间做出选择。可以做些什么来确保妇女工作奖励的价值贡献世界? Listening in Passage 1 Presenter Has feminism gone too far in the way men are shown in advertisements? Do you think there are too many ads now in which men are shown as stupid or weak?女权主义已经走得太远的男人所示广告吗?你认为现 在的男人有太多的广告显示为愚蠢的或弱吗? Speaker 1 Definitely, yes. I can think of three ads right now where men are shown as stupid. The one that annoys me most is the one where this guy is doing this DI Y job and he’s no good at it, and his girlfriend is standing by waiting to do the job herself. Fine, if it was one ad, but it’s not, it’s a whole attitude now to men, It’s not good for us, it’s not good for women either. 当然,是的。我能想到的三个广告现在男人都显示为愚蠢。那 个最让我恼火的是,这家伙是这样做DIY的工作,他不擅长它,和他女 朋友正站在等着自己做这项工作。好,如果它是一个广告,但它不是, 它是一个整体的态度现在男人,这不是对我们有益,它不是好女人。Speaker2 Um, well, yes, I do feel that feminism has gone too far. I mean, great, women have made a lot of progress in the last 40 years, but it shouldn’t mean we treat men as inferior, which is what we see in quite a few ads these days. So no,I don’t really like the way men are portrayed in advertisements.嗯,嗯,是的,我觉得女权主义走得太远了。我的意思是, 太好了,女人有了很大的进步在过去的40年,但这并不意味着我们把 男人当作低,这是我们这几天看到不少广告。所以,我真的不喜欢男人 在广告的方式。 Speaker 3 Has feminism gone too far in advertisements? No way! Feminism has only just begun,there’s no real equality of pay in this country, men still have all the top jobs.Women continue to be shown as objects in ads rather than as real people, and until that stops I really d on’t think we can say that feminism has gone too far. I agree that in advertisements these days men aren’t always shown as supermasculine, but that’s good and much nearer the truth.在广告女权主义走得太远?没门!女权主义才刚刚开始,没有真 正的平等的工资在这个国家,男人还有所有的最高职位。女性在广告 继续显示为对象而不是真实的人,直到停止我真的不认为我们可以说 女权主义走得太远了。我同意在广告如今男人并不总是显示为 supermasculine,但是很好,更接近真相。 Sperker 4 Ads are about selling and I guess selling the idea that men are weak makes people laugh. And if people laugh at an ad they’re more likely to remember it and therefore more likely to buy the product. But on the whole, I’d disagree. I think men are still shown driving expensive cars and working, you know, looking powerful. Then coming home to their wives who look after the children.广告是卖我想卖的人弱让人们发 笑。如果人们嘲笑一个广告他们更容易记住它,因此更有可能购买产 品。但总的来说,我不同意。我认为男人仍然显示驾驶昂贵的汽车和 工作,你知道,强大。然后回家,他们的妻子照顾孩子们。 Speaker 5 Well I find the way men are shown in ads annoying.There’s that one where this woman is angry with her partner for his choice of car insurance. The idea is that she’s smart and he’s dumb.我发现男人的方 式显示在烦人的广告。有一个,这个女人很生气与她的合作伙伴选 择的汽车保险。她聪明,他的想法是愚蠢的。 Speaker 6 I’ve never really thought about it. I think it’s just to make people luagh, isn’t it? To show the guy as a bit of an and the woman as the boss. It’s just a joke.I don’t really know much about much about feminism.I don’t think so,no.我从来没有真正想过它。我认为这 只是为了让人们luagh,不是吗?那家伙的一点 和女老板。这只是一个玩笑。我真的不了解女权主义。不,我不这么认为。 Passage 2 The differences between men and women interest everyone. What are these differences exactly? How great are they? To what extent are they due to biology and how much the result of upbringing? A lot of research has been done on the subject. Tests show, for example, that men tend to be more logical and analytical than women. Their spatial skills are better and they’re better at problem-solving and mathematics. Girls, on the other hand, learn to speak earlier than boys and in general women have better verbal skills than men .They are more nurturing ,have more empathy and have better social skills.男性和女性之间的差异感兴趣的每个人。这些差异究竟是什么?他们是多么伟大?在多大程度上他们是由于生物学和教养的结果多少?很多研究已经完成。测试显示,例如,男性比女性更倾向于逻辑性和分析。合理的空间技能,他们更善于解决问题和数学。女孩,另一方面,学会说早于男孩和一般女性比男性有更强的语言能力。他们更培养,更有同情心和有更好的社交技巧。 Research suggests that at least some of these differences are a result of our biochemistry and brain function. Brain scans show that men have bigger brains than women. Before men get too excited about this we should point out that both sexes do equally well in intelligence tests. So the fact that men have bigger brains does not mean they’re more intelligent. But there are other important brain differences. Men have more grey matter in their brains and women have more white matter. Because of the different ways in which white matter and grey matter function, this could explain why men are better at spatial tasks and mathematics, and women are better at language skills.研究表明,至少其中的一些差异是由于我们的生物化学和大脑功能。脑部扫描显示,男性比女性拥有更大的大脑。在人面前太兴奋我们应该指出,男女做同样的智力测试。事实上,男人有更大的大脑并不意味着他们更聪明。但也有其他重要的大脑差异。男人有更多的在他们的大脑灰质和女人有更多的白质。因为不同的白质和灰质函数,这就可以解释为什么男性更擅长空间任务和数学,和女性更擅长语言技能。 Now let’s take a look at the effect of horm ones on the brain. Testosterone is the hormone that makes the body masculine .It’s present in both men and women but obviously there’s a lot more of it in men .It seems that testosterone has the effect of making men more interested in systems and less interested in people .This would explain why women have better social skills than men.现在让我们看看激素对大脑的影响。睾酮激素,使身体的男性。在男性和女性,但显然还有很多的男人。看来,男性体内的睾丸素的作用使系统更感兴趣和不感兴趣的人。这可以解释为什么女性比男性有更好的社交技巧。 All this is not to say that it’s biological differences alone that make men and women different. Upbringing is very important too and parents treat boys and girls quite differently. For example, up to the age of two , mothers make more eye contact with daughters and talk to them more. Men are a lot more physical with their sons and play rougher and noisier games with them. Both men and women speak more loudly to boys than to girls and girls are stroked more than boys. We will probably never be able to decide exactly how important upbringing and biology are in creating male and female differences. But the journey of discovery is fascinating.这一切并不是说仅生理差异,让男人和女人不同。教育是非常重要的,父母对待男孩和女孩完全不同。例如,到两岁时,母亲与女儿赚更多的眼神接触,多与他们交谈。男人更多的身体和他们的儿子和粗糙,且游戏。男性和女性都更大声说话的男孩比女孩和男孩抚摸超过女孩。我们可能永远无法决定如何重要的教育和生物学是在创造男性和女性的差异。但发现的旅程是令人着迷。 Unit 6 All in the past Inside View Conversation 1 Joe I think this is my favourite view in the whole of London.Big Ben is a really important part of the life of the country.我认为这是我最喜欢的观点在整个伦敦。大本钟是一个非常重要的生活的一部分。 Andy It’s well worth a visit .很值得一游。 Janet So are you saying that you can go up Big Ben?所以你是说你可以去大本钟吗? Andy Sure I went up when I was a kid I can highly recommend it. 确定我上去当我还是个孩子的时候我能强烈推荐它。 Joe That would be a great idea for the website. Do a report on a visit to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. 这将会是一个好主意的网站。 做一个报告访问议会大厦和大笨钟。 Janet So you mean, I can just go to the entrance and ask to go up the tower? 所以你的意思是,我可以去门口,问上塔吗? Andy Well, I’m not too sure, actually. But I can try and find out. Come to think of it, I’m pretty sure you need to get permission from your Member of Parliament.好吧,事实上,我不太确定。但是我可以试着找出答 案。我想起来了,我很确定你需要从你的国会议员获得许可。 Joe Ah, you and I don’t have one, because we aren’t UK residents. So I guess that means we can’t go up Big Ben.啊,你和我没有,因为我们不是英国 居民。所以我猜这意味着我们不能去大本钟。 Andy I don’t really know, to be honest. But it’s also well worth taking a tour round the Houses of Parliament.说实话,我真的不知道。但它也是值得游览国会大厦Jane t So, what yo u’re saying is that visitors like myself can go into the most important government building in the country? Wow! I’d love to do that. 所以,你说的是,像我这样的游客可以进入最重要的政府大楼?哇!我想这 样做。 Andy I think they do tours in the summer. But here’s a trick question: Can yo u actually see Big Ben from here?我认为他们在夏天做旅游。但是这里有一 个技巧问题:你能从这里看到大本钟吗? Janet Well…yes. That’s it up there, isn’t it?嗯…是的。就是这样,不是吗? Andy Wrong. In fact, Big Ben is the name of the bell, and not the clock tower. 错了。事实上,大本钟是贝尔的名字,而不是钟楼。 Joe I had no idea.我不知道。 Andy So if you can do tours round Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament., why don’t we put something about it on the website?所以如果你可以参观大本 钟和国会大厦。,为什么我们不把网站上关于它的一些情况吗? Joe Fine by me. You OK to do the research? 对我来说不成问题。你可以做研究呢? Andy No problem. But can we get someone from the Houses of Parliament to update us?没有问题。但我们能从国会大厦找个人来更新我们吗? Joe Sure. Actually, I know someone who works there, I’ll give her a call now and see if she can meet us at lunch time. 确定。事实上,我知道有人在那里工作,我现在就打电话给她,看她是否能满足我们在午餐时间。 Conversation 2 Joe Oh, hi, Sarah! Sarah Hi, guys. Joe Thanks for coming. Andy So, can you tell us what you know about the Houses of Parliament?所以,你能告诉我们你知道国会大厦吗? Sarah Sure Joe So tell us about Big Ben. Sarah Big Ben is widely believed to be the clock tower, but in fact, it’s the bell at the top.大本钟,这被广泛认为是钟楼,但事实上,顶部的钟。 Andy And when was the tower built? 塔是什么时候建的? Sarah In 1859. Joe And how old are the House of Parliament?议会大厦是多大岁数? Sarah They were completed in 1870.他们在1870年完成。 Joe So none of these buildings we can see are really old?所以我们可以看到这 些建筑很老吗? Sarah No, that’s not what I’m trying to say. Er…The oldest part of the ancient Palace of Westminster is Westminster Hall, which dates back to the 11th century. It would appear that it was used for entertaining, and as a court room.不,那不是我想说什么。呃…古老的威斯敏斯特宫最古老的部分是威斯敏斯特大厅,日期11世纪。看来,这是用于娱乐,和法院的房间。 Andy So how did the system parliament we know now first start?首先系统议会现在我们知道怎么开始? Sarah It seems that over hundreds of years Parliament has developed into two houses- the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, with elected representatives from all over the country.似乎在数百年议会已经发展成为两座房子——上议院,下议院,当选代表们来自全国各地。 Janet And they were what you now call MPs.他们现在所说的议员。 Sarah Yes, there’s little doubt that they were the first MPs, although not everyone had the right to vote in those days.是的,毫无疑问,他们是第 一个议员,虽然并不是每个人都有投票的权利。 Janet So who is more powerful, the king, the queen, or the prime minister?所以谁更强大,国王,王后,还是总理? Sarah Well, it’s widely thought that the king or queen has more power. But it’s the government which is elected by the people, and the prime minister is the leader of the government. So he – or she – is considered to be the most powerful person in the country.嗯,人们普遍认为,国王或王后拥 有更多的权力。但这是由人民选举产生的政府,和总理是政府的领 袖。所以他(或她)被认为是最强大的人。 Janet That’s fascinating. But what’s even more amazing is how old the Houses of Parliament are.这是迷人的。但更神奇的是旧国会大厦 Andy Two large houses, one palace, one hall! I wonder if there’s a spare room?两个大房子,一个宫殿,一厅!我想知道如果有空闲的房间吗? Janet What do you mean?这意味着什么? Andy Well, I was annoyed to be told that I have to move out of my flat. I was even more furious to learn that I have to leave by next month.嗯,我很生气被告知我要搬出我的公寓。我是更激烈的学习,下个月我必须离开。 Janet So what will you do?那你打算做啥? Andy Search me! I could do with a royal palace to live in. 搜索我!我可以做一个皇宫。 Outside view In England no town is more than 170 kilometers from the sea .so it's no surprise that Britain has a very important history of
