如何在应用英语时避免性别歧视
2004年09月07日17:29:08
近四十年来，尽管非性别歧视语还没有达到非不可的程度，但它毕竟已进人日常会话和
写作的主流之中。

随便翻开一张英美的报纸，或瞧一下五花八门的宣传广告，就会发现supervisor（工头，领班）替代了原来的foreman， workman's compensation（工人赔偿金）变成了worker's compensation； sales rep， sales associate或seller（推销员）取代了
常用词salesman等。

为此，笔者将有关资料整理如下，供英语学习者参考。

请注意，所选用的例句，除个别注明外，均选自Rosalie Maggio编写的The Nonselist Word Finder： A Dictionary of Gender－Free Usage （Maggio， 1989）。

1．尽量不用通性代词he，除了明确地指代一个男性人物时，都要设法避免使用之。

可以根据语境需要，选用下列替换方式：
1）采用复数形式
Sexist： When bathing a baby， never leave him unattended.
Revised： When bathing babies， never leave them unattended.
给婴儿洗澡时，一定不能让他们无人照料。

2）用we／us／our改写原句
Sexist： From each according to his abilities， to each according to his needs.
Revised： From each of us according to our abilities, to each of us according to our needs.
各尽所能，按需分配。

3）改用第二人称、
Sexist: No man knows his true character until he has run out of gas, purchased something on the installment plan and raised an adolescent.
Revised: You don't know what your true character is until you have run out of gas，purchased something on the ! installment plan and raised an adolescent.
只有当汽车大的油用光了，按分规付款方式购物和抚养大一个孩子时，人的本来品性才会显露出来。

4）改用被动语态
Sexist： One who， when he has the choice of two evils， chooses both.
Revised： One who， when given the choice of two evils, chooses both.
一个在两种恶行之中要作出选择就两者都选的人。

5）完全省略代词
Sexist: What a person thinks of after he becomes a departee？
Revised： What a person thinks of after becoming a departee？
一个人离去后，会作何感想呢？
6）用冠词替代
Sexist： Can a critic give his opinion of an omelet without being asked to make one？
Revised： Can a critic give an opinion of...？
评论家议论煎蛋时难道到非要他去自己煎鸡蛋吗？
7）用someone， one, the one， no one等替代
Sexist： He who can take advice is sometimes superior to him who can give it.
Revised： Someone who can take advice is sometimes superior to the one who can give it.
接受忠告者有时胜过发出忠告者。

8）使用he and she或his and her，但使用的次数不宜太多。

s/he仅可用于备忘录(memos), 便条(notes), 或者非正式的交谈之中。

9）用名词或上下文中用过的同义词替换
Sexist: To find a friend one must close one eye - to keep him, two.
Revised: To find a friend， one must close one eye - to keep a friend, two.
想找朋友；就得睁一只眼，闭一只眼；想留住朋友，就得双眼都闭上。

2．尽量使用那些包括两性在内的词，即无性别之分的词（gender-free words),
例如: child， teacher， officer（警官)，people， worker, immigrant（移民）,voter （投票者，选民）, coach(教练），church member(教友）, sale rep（推销员），grand parent
（外／祖父或祖母），leader， evening student, employee (雇员），testee（考生，应试者），engineer，customers（顾客）, dealer（交易者，商人），clerk（职员，办事员），civilian（平民），scientist, operator（接线员，办事员)，patriot(爱国者)，person, planner(策划者，计划者)， politician(政客), producer(生产者、制造者)， tutor（家庭教师,导师，[美国］助教），reporter，writer，chief executive（首席行政长官），everybody, expert等.
3、如非特指男性或女性，尽量用同义词或近义词替换含有-girl, -woman, -wife, -man 后缀的词，例如：
calendar girl(月份牌上的美女像）-calendar model 挂历模特
call girl(应召女郎）--prostitute妓女
cover girl(杂志封面女郎）--cover model封面模特
flag girl（女司旗手）--flag bearer司旗手,执旗员
flower girl(卖花女）--flower seller卖花人
housewife（家庭主妇）--house worker（家务工人）
midwife（接生婆）--birth attendant（助产士）
showgirl（舞女,歌女）--dancer（伴舞者）
chairman（主席）--chair, head（主席，头头）
ring man（赌／赛马者）--bettor； gambler（赌马者,赌博者）
seaman（海员，水兵）--sailor； navigator； mariner pilot, captain 水手，航海者，船员，领航员，船长
spokesman (发言人) -speaker; representative, voice; press agent 发言人，代表，right-hand man(得力助手) --right hand; deputy; assistant； helper 得力助手，副手，助理，助手
4．写信时，如果不知道收信人的性别，最好不要使用传统的Dear Sir； Dear Gentleman，
Dear Madam. 可以选用下列之一：
1) Dear friends of the library（亲爱的图书馆的朋友们）
2）Dear Madams and Sirs（亲爱的女士们及先生们）
3) Dear Personnel Officer（亲爱的人事处长)
4）Dear Committee Member（亲爱的委员）
5）Dear Citizen（亲爱的公民)
6）Dear Customer（亲爱的顾客）
7) Dear Councilor（亲爱的参议员，或顾问）
8）Dear Agent（亲爱的代办）
9）Dear Director（亲爱的厂长或局长；主任；）
5．尽量少引用含有通性词man; men的引语，如果非引用不可，下列处理办法可供选择: 1）不直接引用，把引语进行释义
Sexist： W. Phillips said: "The best use of laws is to teach people to trample bed laws under their feet．"
Revised： W. Phillips suggested that the best use of law is to teach people to trample bad ones under their feet.
W·菲利普斯说：“行使法律的最好办法是教导人们把不好的法律踩在脚下。

"
2）使用[sic](原文如此)让读者意识到原文中的man使用得不大恰当。

例如:
w. Phillips said：“The best used laws is to teach men[sic] to trample bad ones under their feet．”
3）对上述引语，也可只引用其中的一部分，例如：
W. Phillips said the best use of laws was to teach people "to trample bad laws under t heir feet”。

我们赞同Rosalie Maggio所讲的话：
“It is also necessary to acknowledge that there can be no solution to the problem of sexism in society on the level of language alone. Using the word secretary inclusively, for example, does not change the fact that only % of American secretaries are men. Using director instead of directress does not mean a woman will necessarily enjoy the same opportunities today a man might."

We are in the same boat.
我们处境相同。

Scene
Simon: Tody, I'm out of work.
Tody: We're in the same boat. I'm out of work, too.
Notes
be (all) in the same boat 表示“（大家）处境相同”。

一般指危险或糟糕的处境，常可译为“同舟共济”！^_^
Exercises
下面来用英语说说这个对话：
David：那两家公司处境相同。

John：就是啊！他们的产品销路都不好
"原来如此"怎么说
2004年09月03日10:07:03
如果有的事情的来龙去脉浑沌不清，让人摸不着头脑，若是突然曙光一现，让你豁然开朗，这会儿你就可以用上这句话So that explains it everything.
“这就都说得通了。

”
有时候和老外就技术问题会发生很多争论，但总会有一方说服另一方的时候，或者在某个问题出现后，外方搞不懂为何，我们试着解释给他们听，有时候他们就会来一句：So that explains it.
原来如此。

表示知道为何了。

Pardon my interruption
对不起，
打扰了
对话：
Can you spare a few minutes, Mr. Brown
Yes,but , I'm in a conference now.
I know. Pardon my interruption,but there is a call for you.
布朗先生，您能抽出几分钟时间吗
可以，但我现在在开会。

我知道，对不起打扰了。

有你的电话。

英语流行酷语(2)
2004年08月06日16:26:04
"My hands are tied." 在这里并不是真正「手被绑起来」的意思, 而是指「没办法」的意思。

好比电话响了, 你很忙不能接, 也可以说:"Can you get it My hand are tied." (我很忙, 你能接一下吗" 。

29. love handles 游泳圈、中广、胖的腰围
A: You'd better lose those love handles fast. I'm tired of having so much to hold on to.
A: 你最好快把你的肥肚子减掉。

我对老是有这么多(肥肉)在那里让我可以抓着觉得很烦。

B: I think I look fine, my dear.
B: 亲爱的, 我觉得我看起来很好啊!
上面的对话可能是一些太太会对发福的先生所讲的, 这太太也毒了点吧
30. maxed out 累惨了
A: I'm working 70 hours this week. I'm totally maxed out.
A: 我这星期工作七十个小时。

我真是完全累坏了。

B: 70 hours I'd be dead if I worked this hard.
B: 七十个小时我要是工作这么多, 我一定会死了
"max" 是「极限」的意思。

用"maxed out" 来表示一个人累惨了应该是蛮贴切的哦!
31. If You Snooze, You Lose! 如果你不注意, 就错过良机了。

A: Hey! Where did all the cake go I haven't got any of it.
A: 嘿! 蛋糕都到哪里去了我一点都没吃到。

B: There's no cake left. Your brother ate the last piece. If you snooze, you lose!
B: (蛋糕)都没了。

你弟弟(或哥哥)吃了最后一块。

你没快点行动, 机会(此指蛋糕)就没了啊!
有些闹钟上面有一个让你可以在闹钟响后, 再小睡一下的按键。

这个按键就叫
"snooze"。

所以"If you snooze, you lose." 就变成「如果你贪睡(不注意)的话, 你就不会赢了。

」的意思。

念念看, 是不是押韵呢
32. jerk one's chain 烦(某)人
A: Hey! Can I ask you another question
A: 我可不可以再问你一个问题呢!
B: Stop jerking my chain. I'm trying to study here.
B: 不要再烦我了! 我要念书!
"jerk one's chain" 是一个蛮有趣的俚语。

假设你脖子上有条链子, 有个人每二分钟就来像拉狗炼般扯一下, 你是不是觉得很烦呢 "Stop jerking my chain." 就是"Leave me alone." 不要吵我的意思。

33. have a cow (俚语)非常生气
A: When I told my mom I would be home around 2 am, she had a cow!
A: 我跟我妈说我会到半夜二点才回家, 她气炸了。

B: Duh!
B: 废话!(怎么会不生气)
不知道为什么会用"have a cow" 来表示「很生气」。

实际上, "have kittens" 也是同样的意思喔!
"Duh!" 是美国人用来表示「这不是废话吗」、「这还用说吗」等所发出来的一种语音。

说的时候要有一种attitude, 有点像说中文的「废话!」那样的语气。

34. knock it off! 住手!(不要再做某事)
A: Tim, knock it off, would you Your singing is killing me.
A: Tim, 你停止好吗你的歌声简直要我的命!
B: Hey! You're rude.
B: 嘿! 你怎么那么没礼貌啊!
"Knock it off!" 是叫(某人)停止做某事的意思, 与 "Cut it out!" 和 "Stop it!" 都
是同样的意思。

35. my ass 才怪!(表示强烈的质疑)
A: Honey, this is going to be my last cigarette. I'm not gonna smoke again, I promise.
A: 甜心, 这将是我最后一根烟。

我跟你保证, 我绝不会再抽烟了。

B: This is going to be your last cigarette, my ass.
B: 这会是你的最后一根烟头啦!
"my ass" (原意:我的屁屁)是一个用来表示对对方所说的话强烈的不相信的用语。

很像中文里的「才怪!」「头啦!」之类的话。

也有女生会在"ass"前加个"little", 而成"my little ass"(我的小屁屁), 也蛮可爱的。

36. big time 非常; 很; 大大地
A: Oh, no. I completely forgot about my appointment with Mrs. Anderson at 2 o'clock.
A: 唉呀! 糟了! 我完全忘了我和 Anderson 太太二点钟的约。

B: You know she's gonna complain about that big time, don't you
B: 你知道她会跟你抱怨一番的吧
"big time" 也是蛮常听到的一个口语。

它的意思就相当于 "very much" ; "extremely"。

「流行酷语」第三页里有"Got You!"(骗到你了吧!)一词。

如果你跟你的朋友开了一个很大的玩笑, 结果他真的被你唬得一楞一楞的, 你就可以很得意地对他说: "I got you big time." (我把你骗得乱七八糟的吧!)。

37. the man (the Man) 大哥; 厉害的人
A: . Your car is fixed. There should be no more problem(s) now.
A: 好了! 你的车修好了。

应该不会再有问题了!
B: You've got it taken care of just like that You're the man.。
