<汉译英>

男女真的平等?

中文原文:
万事万物由方方面面组成,而那个“男女都一样”的口号,只是向女人提出要求,却没有相同的口号要求男人和女人做得一样:一样耐心持久地抚育孩子一样任劳任怨地操持家务;一样尽心尽责地侍奉老人。仔细想想,“男女都一样”的口号曾鼓励着许多妇女竭力地建树了和男人一样的丰功伟绩,同时,女人却依然要做那些和男人不一样的事。其实,所谓“一样”的口号,使女人在做着女人的同时再做男人;其实,所谓“一样”的口号,让女人们又给自己加重了一挑担子;其实,女人和男人在根本上还是不一样的。

参考译文:
All things under heaven and earth are made up of different parts, but the slogan "women are as good as men" makes demands on women without making a corresponding demand on men to be “just as good as women”:to raise children just as patiently, to do household chores just as uncomplainingly, to care for the old just as dutifully. Come to think of it, the slogan "women are as good as men” has spurred women on to achievements to challenge men’s. But at the same time,women must still do what men do not stoop to. The fact is, “women are as good as men” means that women after doing what women do, must take up another burden. Let's face it, basically women are not as the same as men.
