Would they have known? 在這樣一個滿是富人的陌生世界里，我在理解女人們深深的怨怒方面很是遲鈍。這是因?yàn)?，?dāng)我還是一個小男孩時，我就嫉妒過她們。在上大學(xué)之前，我所認(rèn)識的唯一對藝術(shù)、音樂或文學(xué)有興趣的人，唯一看上去能夠享受一絲自在的一群人就是那些做母親和女兒的人。而且，她們也不必去參加戰(zhàn)爭。與父親們所遭受的狹隘的、封閉的日子相比，母親們所承擔(dān)的相對較輕的工作顯得更加寬泛一些。她們剪用購物券，探訪鄰居，在學(xué)?；蚪烫门芘芡取Ｎ曳路鹗峭高^望遠(yuǎn)鏡看到她們的生活，滿是閃爍的星星和一縷縷光線，而漏掉了她們生活歲月的真實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)。毋庸置疑，如果我用更具理性的方式審視她們的生活，我就不會那么嫉妒她們了。可在那時，我實(shí)在看不出一幢房子能成為什么樣的牢獄，因?yàn)榉孔釉谖铱磥肀热魏螐S房都更亮堂、更體面。我也沒有意識到女人是多么頻繁地遭受男人的欺凌，因?yàn)檫@樣的事情從未被提及過。即使在那時，我也能夠看出一個母親整日忙碌著應(yīng)付年幼孩子們的需要是多么地辛苦。但是，作為男孩，如果我那時必須在照顧嬰兒和照看機(jī)器之間作選擇，我想我會選擇照顧嬰兒。所以，當(dāng)學(xué)校里的女性大吵大囔，譴責(zé)我和我所屬的性別，說我們霸占著世間的歡樂時，我很困惑。她們要求從性別歧視的束縛中解放出來。我認(rèn)為別的男孩（女孩也一樣）也會有我這樣的迷惑，只要他們成長于一貧如洗的農(nóng)村，成長于碼頭邊或工廠附近——成長于任何讓男人和女人的命運(yùn)同樣蒼白和嚴(yán)酷的地方。當(dāng)我在大學(xué)里遇到的那些女子們想到男人的享樂和特權(quán)時，她們并沒有見過我以前認(rèn)識的那些男人。這些特權(quán)階層的、共和黨男人的女兒們渴望繼承她們父親的權(quán)力和凌駕世界的貴族身份。她們渴望能對自己的未來擁有發(fā)言權(quán)。而我也渴望這樣。我和這些女兒們之間的區(qū)別在于，她們看我時想到的是，我因?yàn)樽约旱男詣e而自出生起就注定可以成為像她們父親那樣的人，從而也是她們實(shí)現(xiàn)自己欲望的敵人。但我比她們更清楚，無論是事實(shí)上還是情感上，我都不是她們欲望的敵人。我是她們反抗行動的同盟者。如果那時我就知道如何把這些告訴她們，或如何在中間做一個調(diào)停人，她們會相信我嗎？她們能夠理解嗎？第二篇：新視野大學(xué)英語第四冊第三版課文及翻譯Unit 8A turning point of my life我人生的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn)I wasn39。t yet 30 years old and was working as a firefighter in New York City, in a firehouse pletely swamped with the rare moments when we weren39。t busy, I would make calls on our cordless phone handset or rush to our office to read Captain Gray39。s subscription of the Sunday Ne
