Unit 7 I’d Rather Be Black than Female课文翻译
Unit 7 I’d Rather Be Black than Female
1. 我是首位当选国会议员的黑人妇女，这使我成了一种独特的现象。美国国会中还有九位黑人议员，十位女性议员,而我是首位同时逾越双重障碍的议员。在这两道障碍之中，身为黑人要比身为女人的障碍小很多。
2. 如果我说黑人面对的障碍要比女人更大，大概没有人会怀疑。这是为什么？因为“ 众所周知”，美国对黑人有歧视。若说对女性有歧视，这会令几乎所有男人——恐怕还有大多数女人——都觉得不可思议。
3. 很多年来，多数美国白人对歧视黑人的现象视而不见。最后，当黑人们通过静坐示威、联合抵制和自由乘车游行等方式“挑起”这个问题时，美国白人觉得惊异万分。“谁，是我们吗？”他们委屈地问道，“我们在歧视他们？” 对美国白人来说，这个漫长痛苦的再教育过程刚刚开始。很多年以后，白人——包括那些自以为是自由主义者的人——才会发现并消除他们实际存在的种族主义思想。
4. 而消除女性歧视的困难要大多少？我坚信这将是一场更为旷日持久的斗争, 部分原因是，与黑人相比，美国女性不仅被更彻底地洗脑，而且也更加安于她们次等公民的角色。
5. 请允许我解释一下。我活跃政界二十余年。除了最后六年，我一直在努力工作——干那些枯燥乏味但却能影响竞选胜负的杂活——可收获奖赏的却是男人，这几乎就是政界女性永远不变的命运。
6. 恰恰又是女性——大约有三百万女性志愿者——在美国政界做着大部分这类工作。她们中任何人顶多指望能有幸当选区副主席或县副主席。这种“区分但平等”的职位是一名女性多年任劳任怨地干着装信件、组织牌局之类的杂活之后所能获得的。最高奖励。担任此职务之后，她可以享受公费出差、参加州或全国性会议或代表大会的待遇，而她的既定角色就是按男会长的投票方式去投票。
7. 1963年，当我试图突破这种角色，代表布鲁克林的贝德福德·斯图维桑特参加纽约州众议院席位竞选时，遭到了强烈的反对。竞选伊始，我便遇到了针对我的性别的毫无掩饰的敌意。
8. 四年之后，当我竞选国会议员时，性别才真正成了我的主要障碍。我所在党派的成员还召开了秘密会议，讨论如何阻止我参加竞选。
9. 我的竞争对手、著名人权运动领袖詹姆士·法默努力向大众展示一个黑人男子汉的形象；他坐着带有扩音器的卡车在选区里巡回，车上载满了留着非洲发式、穿着短袖花套衫、留着胡子的年轻人。电视台的摄制人员对我视而不见，但他们对一个非常重要的数据毫不知情，而对此我和我的竞选经纪人韦斯利·麦克唐纳·霍尔德却很清楚。我所在的这个选区内，登记投票的男女选民的比例是1:2.5。而且那些妇女都是有组织的，这其中包括教师家长协会、教会团体、扑克牌俱乐部以及其他社会服务团体。我去向她们寻求帮助。法默先生到现在仍然不知道自己败因何在。
10. 当年轻优秀的女大学毕业生找工作时，为什么第一个问题总是“你会打字吗？” 这个问题的背后是一部对女性的歧视史。女性为什么被认定是秘书，而非管理者？为什么她们只能当图书馆管理员和教师，不能当医生和律师？因为人们认定她们与男人不仅有差异，而且比他们低等。快乐的家庭主妇和开心的黑人都是被这种歧视定型化的人物。
11. 妇女甚至还没有达到黑人正在达到的。象征性的平等水平。最高法院没有女法官；只有两名妇女曾担任过内阁职位，而现在则无一人在位；我们的驻外大使中只有两位女性。但是妇女却担任着绝大多数低薪职务，干着卑微低贱、没有意义且毫无前途的工作。即便她们获得更好的职位，她们的薪酬也总是比做同样工作的男性要低。
12. 若说这不是歧视，那你说是什么？
13. 几年前，我向一位政治领袖谈及提名一位有前途的青年女性当候选人的事。“干吗非要花费时间和精力去培养一个女的？”他问我，还说：“你清楚她会在我们让她竞选市长时选择退出，去生儿育女。”
14. 有关我，不少人也说过类似的话。每当我试图在政治上更上一层楼的时候，许多人会劝我回去教书，说那才是妇女的职业，应该把政治留给男人。我热爱教书，在我确信这个国家再也不需要女人作贡献时，我就会立即回去教书。
15. 当这个富裕的国家里没有孩子饿着肚子上床睡觉时，我也许会回去教书；当每个孩子都能上好学校就读时，我也许会回去教书。当我们不再将财富耗费在军事装备上以杀戮人民时，当我们不再容忍对少数族群的歧视时，当惩治住房不公和雇佣不公的法律得以实施而非规避时，那时我在政界也就无事可做了。
16. 但在此之前——我们都知道这既不是今年也不是明年——我们需要更多的妇女投身于政治，因为我们女人可以作出特殊的贡献。我希望自己成功的例子能说服其他妇女投身政治——不仅是装信件，而是竞选职位。
17. 也正是妇女将同情、宽容、远见、耐心和坚毅带到了政府之中——这是我们与生俱来或者是在男权压制下不得不培养出来的品质。一个国家的妇女通过她们自己的生活塑造着国家的道德、宗教和政治。当前，或许我们国家在政治上比在其他任何方面都更需要妇女的理想和决心。
英语语法专项：动名词用法讲解及练习(附答案)
你听过英文语法有动词(verb)、名词(noun)；但你听过有动名词(gerund)吗？ 1. The girl is singing a song. 2. The girl singing now is my sister. 3. Singing is one of her hobbies(爱好). 三个句子中都有singing。第一个句子的singing是常见的现在进行式(Present Continuous)，是说眼下正在做什么；第二个句子的singing是现在分词(Present Participle)，它把sing这个动词转为形容词，但仍有动词的成份（哈哈，这么一说，要把你搞晕了吧:-) 。关于分词，以后有空再谈OK？）。好戏在后头，你看看第三个句子的singing到底是什么东东呀？原来就是我们的主角动名词(Gerund)了！憧矗瑂ing原本是个动词，可是现在它加上ing后，看来竟像是一个名词了。 一、名词性的动名词(Nominal Gerund) Nominal Gerund 可以加上定冠词(Definite article，如the)或不定冠词(Indefinite article，如a, an)，其他可加在动名词前的还有如：my, this, some, any, all, no 等等。举例如下： 1. The mellow(愉快地) singing of the birds announces the coming of spring. (singing前加定冠词the及形容词mellow；coming 前加the) 2. We knew the robber was near when we heard a faint rustling(沙沙声) in the bushes. (rustling 前加不定冠词a及形容词faint) 从上面的例子可看出如何将一个动词转成名词；但它和真正的名词还是有区别的，那就是没有单数或复数之分。不过，有一些动名词是可以变成真正名词的喔，如：saying, writing, opening, painting, cutting, heading, feeling, being,saving, surrounding, crossing, misunderstanding 等等。它们都可以有复数的喔，方法就是在它们的后面加个s，如：paintings。 二、动词性的动名词(Verbal Gerund) 看看下面的句子： Carelessly writing essays annoys the teacher. 上面的句子里的writing是动名词，但前面有副词carelessly（粗心地），后面又有受词(Object) essays。因此writing就有动词的特征。 注意：Verbal Gerund 这类动名词的前面可不能加上任何冠词(the, a, an ...)喔。 动名词的功能与用法 一、在句子中用作主语(Subject)或主语的补语(Subject Complement): 1.1 作主语 1. Listening to music gives me pleasure. (主语Listening ） 2. Running is good exercise. （主语running) 3. Walking to school is a good idea. (主语walking) 1.2 作主语的补语 1. My cat's favorite activity is sleeping. (补语sleeping) 2. Seeing is believing. (主语seeing, 补语believing) 1.3 主语置于句尾 1.3.1 用It + be + ... +v-ing 句型 1. It is fun speaking English. 2. It is of great importance fighting against pollution(污染).
would rather, rather than 与other than 用法总结Microsoft Word 文档
would rather,rather than与other than 用法总结would rather, rather than 与other than 这三个短语形式相近,意思相关,用法值得总结。 一、would rather的用法： 首先，我们注意到would do ...rather than do与would rather do...than do,这两个短语均是“宁可做...而不做...”的意思。其实，这两个短语非常容易掌握。Would是can系列情态动词（can, may, must，could, would, should, might, ought to, used to, shall, will）,其后必接动词原形。rather than是一个并列连词,根据对等原则，其后自然也接动词原形。如： She'd rather die than surrender.=She'd die rather than surrender. ①would do ...rather than do...与would rather do...than do…也可以颠倒为： rather than do…would do …。若选用的动词相同，那么than 后的动词还可以省略。如： I would rather have noodles than rice. Rather than work in such bad condition, he would give up. ②would rather do…than…, than 的前后要用两个同类的词或词组，如两个名词、两个不定式、两个介词短语等。如： I would rather go to work by bike than by bus. I would rather talk with his mother than with his father. ③ would rather 的否定形式为would rather not do ...。 He’d rather not work in the city than in the city countryside. 在疑问句式中，would rather 与would rather…than…中的would要放在主语之前 Would you rather stay here than go home? Which would you rather have, apples or bananas? Would you rather read a novel than read a poem? ④would rather that…that后接虚拟语气。如： He would rather that he got back home right now. ⑤如果只涉及主语本人而不涉及另一个人，则would rather之后不接that从句而接have done结构。如： I would rather have gone to the movies than stayed home night. He would rather be poor than have got money by dishonest methods． 其次，我们还要知道would prefer to do...rather than (to ) do...也是“宁可做...而不做...”的意思。这个短语的对等形式是Rather than do...would prefer to do...,只是此时rather than后必须省略to；“宁可做..”.的内容放在would prefer to do...之后，“而不做...”的内容放在rather than...之后，不能弄错。 We would prefer to listen to the teacher attentively in class rather than stay up late. Rather than stay up late we would prefer to listen to the teacher attentively in class. 再次，我们要知道结构：would rather do…than do…，与prefer doing... to doing...和prefer sth. to sth的区别与联系。如： He prefers wine to beer．= He would rather drink wine than beer． I prefer tennis to golf．= I’d rather play tennis than golf． 最后，would rather do = would prefer to do I’d rather fly than go by sea．= I’d prefer to fly． 顺便提及would prefer to do这个短语中不能省略to的原因是would like/love/prefer 用法与want一样，所以其后接动词时必须接to。 二、rather than的用法。 rather than “而不是”之意。其实，前面would do...rather than do...,would prefer to do...rather than do... 已经涉及到rather than 的具体用法。下面只是补充一下。正如前面谈到的它是一个并列连词,它连接的并列成分可以是名词、代词、形容词、介词(短语)、动名词、分句、不
More_than的用法及练习
A. “More than＋名词”表示“不仅仅是” 1)Modern science is more than a large amount of information. 2)Jason is more than a lecturer; he is a writer, too. We need more than material wealth to build our country.建设我们国家，不仅仅需要物质财富. B. “More than＋数词”含“以上”或“不止”之意，如： 3)I have known David for more than 20 years. 4)Let's carry out the test with more than the sample copy. More than one person has made this suggestion. 不止一人提过这个建议. C. “More than＋形容词”等于“很”或“非常”的意思，如： 5)In doing scientific experiments, one must be more than careful with the instruments. 6)I assure you I am more than glad to help you. D. more than + (that)从句，其基本意义是“超过（=over）”，但可译成“简直不”“远非”.难以，完全不能（其后通常连用情态动词can） --That is more than I can understand . 那非我所能懂的. --That is more than I can tell. 那事我实在不明白。 --The heat there was more than he could stand. 那儿的炎热程度是他所不能忍受的 此外，“more than”也在一些惯用语中出现，如： --More often than not （经常），people tend to pay attention to what they can take rather than what they can give. ---All of us are more than a little concerned about（非常关心）the current economic problems more...than 的用法 1. 比……多，比……更 He has more books than me. 他的书比我多。 He is more careful than the others. 他比其他人更仔细。 2. 与其……不如 He is more lucky than clever. 与其说他聪明，不如说他幸运。 He is more （a）scholar than （a）teacher. 与其说他是位教师，不如说他是位学者。 注：该句型主要用于同一个人或物在两个不同性质或特征等方面的比较，其中的比较级必须用加more 的形式，不能用加词尾-er 的形式。 no more than 与not more than 1. no more than 的意思是“仅仅”“只有”“最多不超过”，强调少。如： --This test takes no more than thirty minutes. 这个测验只要30分钟。 --The pub was no more than half full. 该酒吧的上座率最多不超过五成。 -For thirty years，he had done no more than he （had）needed to. 30年来，他只干了他需要干的工作。 2. not more than 为more than （多于）的否定式，其意为“不多于”“不超过”。如： Not more than 10 guests came to her birthday party. 来参加她的生日宴会的客人不超过十人。 比较： She has no more than three hats. 她只有3顶帽子。（太少了） She has not more than three hats. 她至多有3顶帽子。（也许不到3顶帽子） I have no more than five yuan in my pocket. 我口袋里的钱最多不过5元。（言其少） I have not more than five yuan in my pocket. 我口袋里的钱不多于5元。（也许不到5元） no more...than 与not more...than
商务写作指南：超好记的appreciate的用法
WRONG: We would appreciate if you corrected the entry in the register as soon as possible. 错误用法：如果你能尽快更改登记处的入口，我将非常感激。 RIGHT: We would appreciate it if you corrected the entry in the register as soon as possible. 正确用法：如果你能尽快更改登记处的入口，我将非常感激（英语原句比前者多了一个it）。This is a very common mistake, and remember that when you use the phrase “I would appreciat e…”you MUST include the word “it”before “if”: 这是一个常见错误，记住当你要用“I would appreciate…”这个表达式时，一定要在if前加一个it。 More examples: 更多例子： E.g.1:I am sure the supervisory authority would not appreciate it if you took that course of action. 例1：我相信监督部门对你的所作所为不会表示欣赏。 E.g.2:We would appreciate it if you would arrange for immediate payment. 例2：如果您能立即付款，我们将很感激。 There is no need to add “it”if you do not include “if”. 如果你不用if从句的话，就没有必要在appreciate后面加it了。 E.g.: We would much appreciate a letter informing us of the result of your enquiries. 例句：如果您能对您的询盘结果给我们回信的话，我们将非常感激。 An alternative phrase to “I would appreciate it if…”is, “I would be grateful if…”This is the more formal phrase of the two and does not require that troublesome“it”! “I would appreciate it if…”这个表达式的替代用法有“I would be grateful if…”，但是这个用法更为正式，而且不需要加那个麻烦的“it”！

appreciate表示感谢的用法
外教一对一https://www.360docs.net/doc/ce14549812.html, 用appreciate表示「感谢」，用对不容易 在邮件里表示「感谢」的时候，我们常常会用到appreciate一词;在比较正式的场合，你也会偶尔听到有英美人在口语中使用appreciate 来表示「感谢」的含义。本帖将教会大家如何用对appreciate一词。1)表示感谢的时候，appreciate的对象通常不是某人，而是某件事。 和动词thank不一样的地方在于：thank 后面常常是某人。比如：Thank you for doing sth。但是appreciate后面常常是某件事，比如：I really appreciate your help. 很感谢你的帮助。Your support is greatly appreciated. 很感谢你的支持。以上的两个例句，通常都用在帮助或者支持完成之后说。而下面的这句话，是我们邮件中最常用的句式：I would appreciate it if you paid in cash. 如果你用现金支付，我会非常感谢。这个邮件的高频句式其实很容易出错，注意以下三点：appreciate后面的it不能漏掉appreciate后面不能直接加you以上面的句子为例，主句里的would和从句里的paid使用了过去式，是为了让语气更加婉转，而非表达过去的含义。I will appreciate it if...do...这样的句式也正确。2)中文里可以「欣赏」某人的品质;appreciate也一样。 中文里「欣赏」一词有两层含义：领略欣赏。比如：欣赏一段音乐认为……好。比如：老板很欣赏他的才华。巧合的是，appreciate 也有这两层含义：领略欣赏。You can't fully appreciate foreign literature in translation. 看翻译作品很难欣赏到外国文学的精髓。认为……好。His talents are not fully appreciated in that company. 在那个公司，他的才能得到充分地赏识。丨There's no point buying him expensive wines - he doesn't appreciate them. 别给他买很贵的酒，他不懂得品赏。3)appreciate还有一层生僻的含义：增值 我们会在财经新闻里看到appreciate及其反义词depreciate，分别表示「增值」和「贬值」。Their investments have appreciated over the years. 他们的投资在几年间增值了。currency depreciation 货币贬值 文章来源：https://www.360docs.net/doc/ce14549812.html,
rather than 是一个并列连词

Would rather 用法小结
Would rather 用法小结 文/郭李强 一、would rather意思是“宁愿、宁可、更、最好、还是为好”，后接动词原形,常省略为’d rather，表示优先选择的一种方式其否定形式是would rather not do sth. would rather没有人称和数的变化，所有的人称一律用would rather.“would rather+动词原形”是英语中常见的一个惯用句式，美国英语中多用had rather。would (had)在此决无“过去”之意，它是一个情态助动词，且无词性、时态变化。 例：Mr. Li would rather not listen to rock music. 李先生不愿意听摇滚音乐。 Sh e’d rather work in the countryside. 她宁可到农村去工作。 二、如果在两者中进行取舍，表示“宁愿……而不愿……，与其……宁可……”的意思时，则可用would rather…than…或would…rather than…的句型 例: I would rather watch TV at home than go to the cinema.我宁可在家看电视而不愿去看电影。请注意: 1) would rather…than…/would…rather than…也可以颠倒为：rather than…would…。Would(rather)和than后都接不带to的动词不定式，若选用的动词相同，那么than 后的动词可以省略。 例：He would rather drink tea than coffee．他喜欢喝茶而不喜欢咖啡。 Rather than work in such bad condition, he would give up. 与其在这样差的条件下工作，他宁愿放弃。 2)使用would rather…than…句型时要注意“平行结构”，即在than 的前后要用两个同类的词或词组，如两个名词、两个不定式、两个介词短语等。 例：I would rather talk with his mother than with his father. 我宁愿和他妈说话而不愿和他爸说话。 三、在疑问句式中，would rather 与would rather…than…中的would要放在主语之前例：Which would you rather have, apples or bananas? 你喜欢吃苹果还是香蕉？ Would you rather read a novel than read a poem? 你宁愿看小说而不愿朗读诗歌吗？ 四、would rather+从句，是一个常用的虚拟语气句型 Would rather+从句,谓语一般用过去时来表示现在或将来。其意为“宁愿……,还是……好些”“一个人宁愿另一个人做某事”。引导从句的that常省略。在谈到过去的动作时，谓语则用过去完成时。 例：John wants to see me today. I would rather he came to tomorrow than today. 约翰今天想去看我。我宁愿他明天来看我而不是今天。(句中came不是表示过去而是表示将来) We’d rather he paid us the money tomorrow. 我们宁愿他明天付给我们那笔钱。 Don’t come tomorrow. I’d rather you came next weekend. 明天别来。我希望你下周末来。2）如果只涉及主语本人而不涉及另一个人，则would rather之后不接that从句而接have done结构。 例：I would rather have gone to the theatre than stayed home night. 我真希望昨天晚上去看了戏而不是呆在家里。 He would rather be poor than have got money by dishonest methods．他宁可穷也不愿意用不诚实的手段获取金钱。 五、would rather/sooner和prefer/would prefer的区别 would rather和would sooner 之间一般没有区别，但经常接触到的是would rather。 例：Tom would rather/sooner read than talk．汤姆宁可读书而不愿谈天。 Tom prefers reading to talking．汤姆喜欢读书而不喜欢谈天。
