The Power of the Purse Chinese Women and Consumption中英对照
The Power of the Purse: Chinese Women and ConsumptionCall it the downfall of Chinese society or call it harmless materialism. If you like, you can call it a corrosive consumerism gnawing away at the root of an already decaying morality. But some call it the rise of the Chinese woman in her own society and in the world. Though it makes a person wonder – if a designer handbag is the Chinese analogue to the shoulder-padded powersuit of the high-flying 1980s urban female, what is the significance of this symbol in real terms? In other words, what is the power of a Chinese woman's purse?A portrait of the consumer as a young womanAccording to China Daily, in 2006, urban Chinese women spent 30% of their incomes on consumer goods. In just four years, in spite of a global economic crisis, that figure ballooned to 63%. Clothing topped the list of purchases over the four years surveyed, while their savings rate plunged over that time period from 55% to 24%. In the years since that savings rate has surely sunk further – this in a country with a reputation for penny-pinching.What sensibility could possibly explain such willingness to spend such large swaths of one's hard-earned income on make-up, shoes and bags (especially given that just 2000 to 3000 RMB is starting salary for college grads in most cities)? You could dismiss it as foolish vanity, which was my original response. Or how about a more complex explanation: a naive lack of foresight, a childish sense of novelty, and an uncommon degree of insecurity, which when taken together make comparatively spoiled urban women all too readily exploitable by the flood of companies scrambling to seize the (almost mythical) opportunities presented by the Chinese market. Would we be short-changing urban Chinese women if we left it at that?Perhaps. It's clear that to some degree or another all consumers the world over, “spoiled” or not, naively conflate material possession with a specific standard of living, one that comes with a kind of romance that we're all susceptible to. It's the dream we buy when we buy into advertisement, targeted as it is to our sense of lacking, presenting asit does an alternate future in which that lacking is accounted for by the enticingly concrete action of buying something.In that sense, whether Chinese women's choices as consumers are sensible or childish is an unfair question. We're all buying based on some complex personal calculus that necessarily involves a degree of insecurity and projection. In the most general sense, the power of the purse is the same for all of us – to make ourselves more comfortable both materially and psychologically.So how do urban Chinese women themselves think about their spending? A big indicator is the language of “living standard” and “quality of life” that women employ to explain their consumption. There is a striking certitude among especially younger women that material possession goes hand in hand with self-improvement. Ownership means enhancement, enhancement means advancement.Then there's the undeniable aspect of novelty. But before you dismiss novelty as naiveté, consider that the ability to afford such purchases –even, (maybe especially) if affording means a degree of sacrifice –represents a new kind of agency. In that sense, consumption probably does involve a life enrichment that urban women can sense in a deep and gratifying way. Importantly and to my point, in addition to apparel and cosmetics, women primarily express a desire to spend on travel. According to the 2009 Annual Report on Chinese Women's State of Life three in four surveyed wished to spend their money on just that as they were heading into 2010, which was the second-highest expenditure (after clothing) on consumer goods according to the next year's report. Similar findings indicate that the process of allocating such a large percentage of income to consumer goods reflects not so much an image of a shallow consumer, but a consumer who desires to participate in the world and has grasped at consumption as a means to that end.She who holds the purse stringsIn a 2010 report, Mastercard Worldwide projected that the purchasing power of childless young Chinese women is likely to continue booming in a projected rise from $180 billion in 2005 to $260 billion by 2015. Similarly, female empty-nesters (women with grown children) can expect their total purchasing power to grow from $100 billion in 2005to $150 billion by 2015. The numbers clearly matter to advertising and marketing firms – a rush to understand the Chinese female consumer has paralleled the growth of their wallets.But what does it matter to anyone else? We're talking about the empowerment of a significant percentage of the world's population here and the fate of a nation whose economy is an ever-significant factor in global economic well-being. Here's the bottom line: in their newfound agency as consumers and the social value that is bestowed accordingly, Chinese women are doing something significant for themselves and for their nation.There are several dimensions and possibilities encompassed by this kind of influence. For one, urban women helped China weather the storm of the global economic crisis not only by responding enthusiastically to the stimulus but by actually refusing to spend less. Some surveys indicated that urban Chinese women felt it was a duty of sorts to keep spending, signifying an empowering awareness of their own economic weight.Consider also that if Chinese women continue growing into savvier consumers, their dual concern for price and brand (as compared to Chinese men whose spending habits translate more strongly into a tendency to consider brand in spite, if not in light of price) means that in demanding more, Chinese women will decide if China can eventually develop better domestic products that can compete within China and ultimately internationally. The modest success of the Shanghai-based cosmetic brand Herborist is an example of the possibilities. Ultimately, China will require many more such brands to support the domestically strong market they will need in the long run. Cosmetics aside, Chinese women don't just shop for themselves, a fact not to be forgotten. They buy for baby, for mom and dad, in-laws and often for their partners. The Chinese economy depends on women performing this role and reliance of the family and the state on women and their purchasing decisions continues to confer a reciprocal degree of respect and power.Women won't single-handedly land the Chinese economy in the safezone. Nor am I saying that the combination of urban Chinese women's purchasing power with the value of their spending habits constitutes some kind of women's lib movement. Ultimately, what I mean to say is this: if rising tides do indeed lift all boats, urban women are at the helms.A writerly conclusionSo back to my original question:Q: What is the power of a Chinese woman's purse?A: Whatever the power of what it contains.Q: Well, what can you fit in a designer bag?A: Ask any Chinese woman who has scrounged and saved month upon month or year upon year to afford one. “A good designer purse can hold girly products, face wipes, gadgets, a compact mirror and dreams,” she may answer. “Yes. If the clothes make the man, then the shoes, the dress, the makeup, the hair, the nose, the evening plans, the travel plans, the plans you make on that touch screen doo-dad, the one that fits so nicely in your designer bag – that's what makes the woman,” the mirror testifies. “Indeed, women hold up half the sky,” she confirms.叫它中国社会的垮台或者说是无害的唯物主义。

I left a great job as head of interactive media at Microsoft for one reason: the passion was gone. My pocketbook, ego, and sense of excitement were being satisfied, but I no longer had passion for the challenges I faced each day. Lots of people thought I was crazy to walk away from it all. But I felt like a juggler -- managing projects, budgets, and people. Eventually I found my dream job. It aligns my personal expertise and goals with an opportunity to put technology in the hands of people who otherwise would not have access to it.

Chinese Women Hold up Half the Sky
Chinese Women Hold up Half the SkyIt is universally acknowledged thatwomen holdup half the sky in our Chinese society. This is one of the major legacies of Chairman Mao, which is that women in the People’s Republic of China are treated equally in all aspects to their male counterparts.Why are women so capable that they can hold up half the sky as men?First of all, women work with a higher cost efficiency, even if they acquire the same salary as the male colleagues. They usually concentrate more on a job than men until completing it, without wasting time on other unnecessary minor matters. This is the reason why women account for a large proportion among the administrators in many Chinese companies.They might have learned how to deal with the problems between the official business and household affairs.Then,Generally speaking, women usually have better durability, psychological stability and abilityto deal with loneliness..They will be more loyal to their companies only if they have been treated fairly, instead ofconstant job-hopping like men, which has been proved to be unwise behavior.Last but not least, contrary to our inherent ideas, men are not always moreeasily driven by rationality than women. The fact proved that women can do it more decidedly and objectively when making strategies and decisions. So the men in Japan and shanghai are willing to let their wives be responsible for family financial management.Now the Chinese proverb has already become one indisputable fact, especially that the sky is of economic value and above China. O ne of the major reasons for China’s GDP growth since 1978’s economic reform is the role women played in bu ilding this new market society with Chinese characteristics. And in the future, there will be much more generations of young Chinese women waiting to come into economic power and make China’s GDP continue to grow more rapidly than it has until now.Just as the Liuyang, the first female astronaut in Shenzhou-9 spacecraft, said: Iam grateful to themotherland and the people. I feelhonored to fly into space on behalfof hundreds of millions of femaleChinese citizens.Men and women havetheir own advantages and capabilitiesin carrying out spacemissions. We can complement each other and better completeour missions.So, Chinese women hold up half the sky! What a true fact!。

英语辩论-男人对社会的贡献大还是女人对社会的贡献大
杨老五~Today, our topic is about who contributes more to the society, men or women. As we all know, for most of human existence, our society is man-dominated(主导). At almost every pivotal historic moment, the people who navigated the direction of history are always males. This is beyond dispute. Those great ancient emperors and kings who create prosperous and powerful kingdoms, and those who desire to explore and discover our splendid nature, dedicated their lives to invent, to create the inventions that entirely changed the human world into highly advanced civilization, they are nearly all men. We can give countless illustrations such as emperor QinShihuang, scientist Newton, inventor Edison, thinker Marx, etc. All in all, we hold the view that men contribute more to the society.主持人：Thank you, now it is the negative side's turn .李家璇~Our opinion is that “Women contribute more to society than men”. If you look up in a dictionary, you will find what the word “contribute” means. The definition in the diction ary is: to give money, help, ideas, experience etc to something that a lot of other people are involved in. According to the definition, we can see obviously that women contribute more tosociety than men. My reasons may be as follows: First, the role they play in family. As we all know that women are in charge of the whole family’s daily life, make meals, wash clothes, clean houses, bore children and then take care of children. All the things above are basic element to make a family run normally and happily. And we all know that society is made up of all families. So, at the role women play well, the family will be more harmonious, and then there’s no doubt the society will be more harmonious, too. Second, the role they play in society. In the past, women are fettered by cultural effects and by the tradition idea of family. But now, things changed. As it’a a society call for women’s liberation, nowadays, there are an increasingly large amount of women who go out and make their own career. In this process, women make their own contributions to the society, aren’t there more and more Business Superwoman in society, and at the same time women aloso have to take care of the whole family’s daily life. So how can you say that women are less contributory, how can you say that men contribute more to the society. Finally, the characters they are born with. It’s know to everbody that men are bellicose and impatient. On the contrary, women are always peacefull and patient. According the the history, men’s shortcomings in charactershave cause many disasters. For examples, Emperor Qin Shi Huang who burn the books and bury the scholars alive, and Adolf Hitler who was regarded as one of the initiators who lead to the World War 1. With the reasons above, we have enough evidence to say that women contribute more to society than men.主持人：They all express their viewpoints clear and perspicuous. Let's move on to the free debate part.小孩子~My dear friend, do you mean “women hold up half the sky”. But could you tell us why people always emphasize the important of the half sky held up by women instead of the half sky held up by men? In the ancient times, a woman without talent is virtuous. In general, woman’s knowledge level is lower than that of man. What’s more, woman is weaker than man in physiology. There is no doubt that at that time most of the contribution to the society was made by men. But with the development of the society, women can hold up half of the sky. But, we all know just half of it, which means women are still helping men to hold up the sky. Man is still taking the leader role. Even though, many successful women have proved sometimes women can do as well as men. But what’s the actual situation? In all the social classes, the top leaders are always men. Forexample, we have so many men presidents instead of women presidents. Granted that women do have the ability to contribute, but base on the fact, women didn’t do contribution as much as men.家吉~Women's contributions are usually behind-the-scenes, while men often say work comes first, women have no choose to sacrifice themselves to take care of the elder and the child. What is more, they sometimes go to work too. They devote a lot to the family, and play an important role in making the family's happiness and harmony. As long as family is the foundation of the society, they do a lot to the society's harmony. There is a saying that every succeed man need a woman behind him to support him. Why? Because women often do the most complicated work, such as washing, cooking, and caring. They carry the obstacles for men to become succeed. Without women, men can do little contribution. Women are more careful and tender, which is useful and helpful to child's growing. Most kindergarten teachers and nurses are women. They do a lot to the society's future.三爷~Yes, you got it! I quite agree with you. I admit that a womanmeans so much to a man. Men can never live well without women. But please remember our topic, women sacrificed much to men, and men contribute more to the society. Quite right! (正方)Firstly，it’s incorrect to claim women play a more important role by emphasizing the minority women who make enormous contributions. Take Soong May-ling and Madame Curie for example, which just tell us that women are capable to do the same thing as men do. But, the fact is that most women didn’t choose to do that despite of their having capabilities or intelligence. And thus the development of our society is pushed by countless men except for women who are few and far between. The contributions made by men are far beyond women’s whether in quality or quantity. When it comes to the importance of domestic happiness, I have to acknowledge that women have more impacts on men then men have on themselves. Although woman seldom devote to diplomacy and internal affairs, they definitely create a good living environment for men. However, what we discuss today is who makes more contributions to society rather than who makes more contributions to men. So, compared with women, men contribute more to the society. As you’ve said, there are some men that, indeed, have brought disasters to the society; yet, we can’t deny the contributionsmade by men. Our task today is to work out men or women who make more contributions, not to compare the difference after merits offset faults. Our society has always been run by men and men are more powerful. Furthermore most of the contributions towards our society have been made by men. Men are the head of families and controlled the means of the production, and women played a secondary and supportive role as opposed to a leadership one.师师~As for that point, your argument is totally untenable. Ladies and gentlemen, we are no longer in the primitive stage of slash and burn cultivation when bigger muscles implied more agricultural productivity. We are in an age of mechanism and automation, in which more significance is attached to intelligence and wits. And it’s intelligence and wits that makes us men, not muscles. Even when muscles can be of some avail in sports undertakings, men did not live up to our expectation as women did. To illustrate, take Beijing Olympic Games for example, among the 100 medals that we had won, women won 27 gold medals, men 24; women won 11 silver medals, men 10; women won 19 bronze medals, men 8. Altogether women won 57 medals, while men 42(The last one was shared by both men and women.). Anotherexample is Chinese football. The best ever record of Chinese male football team was made in 2002 Japan/South Korea World Cup, when Chinese male football team broke through the elimination round, making the so-called historic record. Take a look at the Chinese female football team. They had won the champion of 6th and 7th Asian Cup in 1986 and 1989. They were the sliver winner of Atlanta Olympic in 1996 and Women World Cup in 1999. In addition, Sun Wen was named the women’s w orld player of the year in 1999. It’s so hard for us to expect a men’s world player of the year while the Chinese football fans were still waving homemade signs which read “Chinese football, rush out of Asia!”邓导~Yes, in a way. But haven’t you realized what you said can just indicate that people of either sex are capable of doing the same job well. And the fact is, many women have abilities to create their own career, but they didn’t do it. Perhaps the opportunity this man-dominating society offered to women is so rare. Any way, their contribution is very limited. (驳国阳)1.In human history, there are many great statesmen; scientists are women, such as Sung Mei-ling, Madame Curie and so on. ButI think these are a few examples that women make great contributions to the society. And they just indicate that women can also do the things that men always do. We must declare that although women can also many jobs that men always do, they don't do them. So from the history, we can know that men who make progress in society are countless, but women are rare. 2 even though women do more contribution to our family, and someone may say that, it's women behind the men, but who is over the women or behind or protector of women? the answer is men. And today's topic is that who contributes more to the society, not women contributes more to men. 3 In our history, there are also many instances that men bring many disasters to our society. For example Qin Shihuang, Adolf Hitler. But I think that even though a few men bring bad effort to our society, much more men do help to our society's progress, such as Mao Zedong, Newton and so on. And if we say that men bring disasters to our society, women also do it, the most famous women as CiXi, Lvzhi. 4 Men are stronger than women in many aspects such as physical strength. Men play an very important role in our society development .They are the organizers, the workers and so on. Take a look at our government and politics 90% of the position is being taken by the men. So men is more incontributing towards the society. Even though today there are some women have a higher salary than most of the men. but this is just a small number!At the top of society we can see men everywhere: most world rulers, presidents, prime ministers, most members of Congress andparliaments, most CEOs of major corporations, and so forth —these are mostly men. 5 Because of the discrimination to the female, women can't make great contribution to our society? We all know that in the development of the human history, first appeared the matriarchal society. In that society, women had the power to do everything they want to do, they was not discrimination to them. And in contrast, at that time men did not have any social status. But did the women make great contribution to the society development? I think the answer is no. In the end, the matriarchal society was replaced by patrilineal society . From that time, males make the human society develop fast. Why did it happen? Why did not "women's world" last longer than the "men's world"? Can this manifest that the society was eliminated because human society development needs higher advanced civilization.小游戏~Although both men and women contribute to society, as tocontributions to the society, I would definitely stand with the opinion that women contribute more to the society than men. （反方）Only a woman can carry in her body an eternal being which bears the very image of God. Only she is the recipient of the miracle of life. Only women can conceive and nurture this life using her own flesh and blood, and then deliver a living soul into this world. God has bestowed upon her alone a genuine miracle---the creation of life, and the fusing of an eternal soul with mortal flesh. This fact alone established the glory of motherhood, and also the glory of women.Contribution to the society includes material contribution and spiritual contribution. First of all, men do more material contribution. According to a survey conducted in 1990, the average monthly incomes for male and female workers in urban areas were 193.15 yuan and 149.60 yuan respectively, with women receiving only 77.4 percent of the pay given to men. In rural areas, the average annual incomes for men and women were 1,518 yuan and 1,235 yuan respectively, with women getting 81.4 percent of the earnings of men. Moreover, men do more spiritual contribution: When some disasters happen, man can always keep a clear mind and does something really helpful. Did you still remember the earthquake took place in Qinghai province? Aidworkers are in a race against time to save thousands of earthquake victims stranded near the epicenter. Chinese soldier went to the earthquake-stricken area at top speed for succoring the injured person. Most of the soldiers are men, right? They served the public with dedication and integrity. Their selfless dedication and bravery do ever lasting spiritual contribution to the society. We a lways say “teachers are engineers of soul”. Teachers make notable spiritual contribution to the society. The survey given by China Education Yearbook in 1992 showed that only 14.6% of the graduate student tutors are women. It’s clear that men do more contr ibution to the higher education, which is a part of men’s spiritual contribution. The education level of women is lower than men. In 2002, the female students in college are only 40.98% of all the college students. Then we can conclude men have higher comprehensive quality, which can help them to do more spiritual contribution. So according to the analysis of material contribution and spiritual contribution, we can safely come to the conclusion that men contribute more to the society than women.主持人：Wow , what a wonderful debate . Now, conclusion part. Let's see if any of them can give a strong support for theirtopic.常正红~Well, ladies and gentlemen, women, from biological point of view, are bestowed with a unique ability to conceive, to give birth, to nurture and educate their children. They also had tosuffer the sickness of being pregnant, they dare not take pills because they take the health of the baby into serious consideration, they had to bear the sharp pain of delivery, they had to feed the baby in the depth of night, they had to try desperately to keep a slim figure to prevent any possibility of their husband’s abandonment just because of their changed, sacrificed figure for delivery. While at the same time, they burden themselves with most of the domestic affairs, they refuse to give up their dreams; they work as teachers, policemen, engineers, scientists, doctors, journalists, coal miners or what not. You have no idea or you have always been neglecting the enormity of the contribution that women have made and would have made. All in all, ladies and gentlemen, the victory of this debate alone is not the thing that my teammates and I are seeking for. We just wan to convince you when everything is said and done, women still contribute more than men.张冠宇~We have long been debating on the topic. Indeed, we are so impressed by the eloquence of our fellow debaters. But on another thought, however, it is not hard to find some mistakes in your argument. For example, you have evaded definitions. What we are talking about is the contribution to the society instead of contribution to the family. So we would like to reiterate our viewpoint that men contribute more to the society than women. Let’s conclude our opinion as follows: On the one hand, let’s talk about the subject condition. First, man’s physical strength is enormous. If a man and a woman have the same knowledge background and skills, man can do better and do more contribution. Second, on the mental aspect, we always hold the opinion that woman is emotional, while man can always make decisions swiftly. The different can be noticed when people are dealing with some emergencies. Just think about, who make the decision that we must press ahead with the reform and opening up policy. The answer is man, right? So, on the subject condition, we can reach the conclusion that woman has less ability than man to do contribution to the society. On the other hand, let us down to the objects condition. First, the public opinion makes people believe men should do more contribution than women do, and even make women themselvesbelieve that they do not have duty or ability to do contribution. Second, the fact of life gives women few chances to make contribution. The unemployed women are much more than unemployed men. Looking back to history and our daily life, we can find the men who help us to make progress in society are countless. But women who make a big contribution are rare as the phoenix. So base on the reasons we mentioned above, we cherish the unshakable belief that men contribute more to the society than women. Thank you.。

妇女能顶半边天Womendoholduphalfthesky
妇女能顶半边天WomendoholduphalftheskyWomen do hold up half the skyThis is supposed to be an enlightened age, but you wouldn't think so if you could hear what the average man thinks of the average woman. Men still carry the sex war because them remain hostile. However, by no means can we ignore capabilities possessed by women and tremendous contributions made by women. Considering the inborn equality in social status and the inherent competitiveness between genders, women can and do hold up half the sky.Chairman Mao said that women hold up half the sky. The proverb portrays a picture where women utilize their unique abilities changing the world instead of sitting under the tree shade, watching men being the pillar of family, community and society.With recognition of their contributions, females nowadays have powerfully proved themselves to be owners of half the sky in literature, politics, sports and so on. Scartlett O’hara, the wonderfulwoma n in Gone with the wind,impresses people a lot by her stimulating phrase “After all, tomorrow is another day.”E ven though her husband, children, parents and even her home, Tara is deprived by war, she is still full of hope and never gives up. Talented in business and leadership, she bravely confronts the difficulties and eventually rebuilds her father’s plantation, Tara. A woman's dignity and willpower could be seen from Scarlett's hard-headed eyes. Scarlett's behavior and spirits strongly demonstrate that women can and do hold uphalf the sky.Besides literary figures, let’s look at the things that women have got in politics to brighten their skies.On April 29th, 2007, aFinnish newspaper, in its prominent position, carried a group photo of the new 20 cabinet members, 12 of which are females, accounting for 60 percentages. The ratio of women cabinet members was the highest, not only in Finland, but also the world. Moreover, with a plenitude of female members in key positions like foreign affairs and national defense, women play a significant role in the Finnish governmentin both quantity and quality, ensuing from guarantee of education, law, welfare, etc. So, as can be seen from the Finnish government, women do hold up half the sky.Not only have women taken a step in politics, but also they have got themselves voiced in sportssphere that was traditionally ruled and dominated by men.Recognized as one of world’s most brilliant table tennis player, Deng Yaping won the respect of the world by her willpower and diligence. She won national champion in 13, champion of Asian in 15 and world champion in 16. Apart from this, she was the only athlete in the world who continued to hold gold medals of table tennis in Olympic Games. Besides Deng Yaping, a great number of females are dedicatedto realizing theirOlympicdreams and have already gained great achievements.However, the comments made by men about women’s abilities seemlight-hearted. The apparent light-heartedness doesn’t conceal the contempt that men feel for women. If we want to create a world where women enjoy equal rights, men must eliminate their stereotypes.It is time for people around the world to realize and recognize the full implication of the old Chinese proverb that says " women hold half the sky" and in that vein, to work together toensure that women everywhere are able to raise their fullest potential for themselves as well as for the society. Only by that can we all benefit from the contributions women will make to the globe.。
