難句譯注

1.ShewillnotbecontenttobeExecutiveAssistanttoMr.SeldomSeenoftheAssistantVicePresident’sGirlFriday,whoistheonlyonewhocomesinonSaturday.

這是杜撰的名字，含有挖苦內(nèi)涵。Mr.SeldomSeen很少見到的先生。說明公司很難見到他。那么做他的助手就是她替他干一切活。星期五姑娘。星期五是《魯濱遜漂流記》中的一個(gè)人物，是魯濱遜的仆人。這位星期六休假日來上班的姑娘，固然得干仆人的一切活。

[參考譯文]她不會(huì)滿足做“很少見”先生的助手，也不愿做助理副主席的星期五姑娘，那位姑娘是唯一的一個(gè)星期六來上班的人。

2.Men,shebelieved,hadcreatedadomestic,servileroleforwomeninorderthatmencouldhavethecareerandtheopportunitytoparticipateinmakingthegreatdecisionsofsociety.

[構(gòu)造簡(jiǎn)析]shebelieved形式上插入語，實(shí)際Men句是它的賓語從句。Inorderthat義：為的是。目的狀語。

[參考譯文]她認(rèn)為男人為婦女創(chuàng)制了一個(gè)持家操勞的奴隸角色，為的是男人可以獲得事業(yè)和機(jī)遇參加打算重大的社會(huì)選擇。

3.Thustheradicalfeministheldthatwomenthroughhistoryhadbeenoppressedanddehumanized,mainlybecausemanchosetoexploithiswifeandthemotherofhischildren.Sometimesitwasdeliberateexploitationandsometimesitwastheinnocenceofneverlookingbeneaththepretensionsoflife.

[構(gòu)造簡(jiǎn)析]兩句句子。前一句的賓語為主從句，后為并列句。

[參考譯文]于是，激進(jìn)女權(quán)主義者認(rèn)為綜觀歷史，婦女始終是被壓迫被奴役，被非人化，主要緣由就是由于男人就是想剝削他的妻子，孩子們的母親。有時(shí)是有意的剝削；有時(shí)是由于沒有透過生活的假象看到問題的實(shí)質(zhì)，是無知所致。

4.BettyFriedan,GloriaSteinem,GermaineGreer,andmanyothershammeredhometheirideaswithapersistencethatarousedandintriguedmanyofthebrightestandmostablewomeninthecountry.

[參考譯文]BettyFriedan，GloriaSteinem，GermaineGreer，以及其他很多激進(jìn)女權(quán)主義者堅(jiān)持不懈的強(qiáng)行灌輸（推行）他們的思想，夢(mèng)想并吸引了國(guó)內(nèi)很多最聰容，最能干的婦女。

寫作方法與文章大意

文章論述“爭(zhēng)取女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)的婦女”，也可以說是女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)的其次次浪潮。從歷史上的女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)激進(jìn)分子觀點(diǎn)談起：婦女為男人所奴役，剝削。由于男的想獨(dú)攬決策社會(huì)的大權(quán)，到女子覺醒，熟悉自己和自己的力氣，把男人視作她們共同的敵人。最終是目前向緩沖進(jìn)展的趨勢(shì)，也是觀點(diǎn)。

答案祥解

1.A.其次次女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)的浪潮。在第一段，一般性描述之后（見難句譯注1），畫龍點(diǎn)睛的指明“她就是我所指的`其次次女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)浪潮的象征。她是決心要成為的現(xiàn)代婦女的代表?！币院蟮奈恼戮褪菄@女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)而寫的。見文章大意。

B.婦女的獨(dú)立精神。這只是女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)中局部?jī)?nèi)容。C.婦女團(tuán)結(jié)。第三段一開頭就提到“激進(jìn)女權(quán)主義者發(fā)覺
