迭戈:大家好,我是迭戈,來自墨西哥。
Elena: And Elena from Bulgaria.
埃琳娜:我是埃琳娜,來自保加利亞。
Diego: For elllo.org. Today we have a very interesting question for all the ladies. Is life easier for women? What do you think, Elena?
迭戈:今天我們要討論一個有趣的問題,和所有女性有關(guān)。女性的生活更容易嗎?你怎么看,埃琳娜?
Elena: Um, is life easier for women than men? I think that men might still have it easier. Because historically with the whole male domination, patriarchy system I think it might have been easier for men just in terms of they have more power, they have more respect. They have at least. And they had their own ability to choose their own destiny, where as a lot of time in the past women had to do what their fathers or their husbands told them, and this is obviously not true anymore because times have changed and a lot has happened, and lot has developed since then, but in a way I still think that in some respects men have more power and especially professionally, although in the family, women rule!
埃琳娜:嗯,女性的生活比男性容易嗎?我認(rèn)為男性的生活可能更容易。因為從歷史上看,都是男性占統(tǒng)治地位,實行父權(quán)體制,因為男性擁有更多權(quán)力,享有更多尊重,這樣來看可能男性的生活更容易。至少他們有權(quán)力。他們有能力選擇自己的命運,而以前大多數(shù)時候女性不得不聽父親或丈夫的話,當(dāng)然現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不是這樣了,因為時代已經(jīng)改變,發(fā)生了很多變革和發(fā)展,不過從某種程度上來說,我依然認(rèn)為男性在某些方面擁有更多權(quán)力,尤其是在職場,不過女性掌握著家庭大權(quán)!
Diego: Well, I guess it's really a matter of perspective. Women can have an easier life, by just going with the flow.
迭戈:嗯,我想這與看待事物的角度有關(guān)。如果順其自然的話,女性也可以過更容易的生活。
