為什么在美國(guó)很多州墮胎是違法的？你怎么看待墮胎

今天的這段對(duì)話，在討論墮胎，
 
為什么在美國(guó)很多州墮胎是違法的？你怎么看待墮胎
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: did you know that abortion is still illegal in many states in the USA?
 
你知道嗎,在美國(guó)很多州墮胎是違法的.
 
B: why? I thought Americans were supposed to be more open than that.
 
怎么會(huì)?我以為美國(guó)人在這方面是很開(kāi)放的.
 
A: well, for many religious people, they believe that people who abort their babies are murderers.
 
恩,對(duì)很多有宗教信仰的人來(lái)說(shuō),墮胎是一種謀殺.
 
B: do you think most people in America believe that abortion is wrong?
 
那你覺(jué)得大多數(shù)美國(guó)人都認(rèn)為墮胎是錯(cuò)誤的嗎?
 
A: no, I think it's mostly the older generation who are against abortions.
 
不,我覺(jué)得主要是老一輩的人反對(duì)這個(gè).
 
B: it's no wonder there are so many teenage pregnancies in America.
 
難怪現(xiàn)在美國(guó)有那么多的少女懷孕.
 
A: religious people blame it on pre-marital sex, not on abortion being illegal.
 
宗教人士認(rèn)為這應(yīng)該歸咎于婚前性行為,而不應(yīng)該把墮胎定為非法.
 
B: what do you think about abortion?
 
你怎么看墮胎?
 
A: I personally would never want to have one, but I think that since a pregnancy can affect a woman's entire life, she should have the right to decide for herself.
 
我可不想這樣做,不過(guò)我覺(jué)得懷孕對(duì)一個(gè)女人的一生都會(huì)產(chǎn)生重大的影響,所以她應(yīng)該有權(quán)自己做決定.
 
B: do you think the fathers should have some kind of say in the matter?
 
你覺(jué)得父親那一方在這種事情中應(yīng)該承擔(dān)什么責(zé)任嗎?
 
A: I know this is going to sound sexist, but I don't think that men should have to give their approval to the mothers of their children.
 
我知道這聽(tīng)起來(lái)可能有點(diǎn)兒性別歧視,不過(guò)我覺(jué)得男人在孩子要不要生下來(lái)的這個(gè)問(wèn)題上沒(méi)有什么發(fā)言權(quán).
 
B: why not? It's their children, too.
 
為什么呢?那也是他們的孩子啊.
 
A: that may be true, but when a woman gets pregnant, it changes her life completely. Men can still carry on with their lives after the birth exactly as they did beforehand.
 
這也許是事實(shí),但是女人一旦懷了孕,她的一生就會(huì)因此改變.可男人們?cè)诤⒆映錾昂统錾笊顩](méi)什么變化,還能像以前一樣.
 
B: that might be true, but I think men should have some kind of say in the matter.
 
這也許有些道理.不過(guò)我覺(jué)得男人對(duì)這件事還是應(yīng)該有發(fā)言權(quán)的.
