5我們對理想丈夫或理想妻子的假設(shè)顯示出我們的性別期待以及我們對性別期待的反應(yīng)。如果大多數(shù)年輕姑娘希望她們的未婚夫強悍、能干、可靠,那么小伙子們也就別無選擇,只能把自己訓(xùn)練得強悍、能干、可靠,這樣才能贏得女孩子的芳心。如果他們的做法與性別期待背道而馳,那么他們很可能會在悲嘆自己的光棍生涯中度過下半輩子。根據(jù)同樣的不成文法則,如果多數(shù)年輕男子希望他們的未婚妻溫柔體貼、耐心、忠貞,認(rèn)為這些比什么都重要,那么姑娘即便不是這種人,也會假裝自己將來會成為賢妻良母。(presumption。option。other

,為彌補過失,他宣布學(xué)校將重新考慮這項規(guī)定。他對學(xué)生說,他們完全有權(quán)力過上方便、舒適的生活,但校園的安全也同樣重要。他還提議在校園里建一個大超市,在宿舍樓附近開一些便利店(convenience store),這樣就能大大方便學(xué)生們的生活。(make amends。be entitled to)Shocked by students’ reaction, the president tried to make amends for this mistake by announcing that the university will look into this new regulation told students that they were entitled to live a convenient and fortable life, but safety was just as much an important concern as proposed to build a big supermarket within the campus and some convenience stores near dormitory buildings, which would certainly

8新的國家博物館建成之后,一些市民和建筑師對于在一群極其美麗精巧的古建筑中建造一座現(xiàn)代建筑感到憤怒。其高昂的維護費用和古怪的形狀也引發(fā)了大量的批評。顯然,許多人對在這個古城中涌現(xiàn)的時髦的現(xiàn)代建筑感到不舒服。不過,也有不少藝術(shù)家和市民覺得這些批評沒有看到該建筑的美和藝術(shù)上的成熟。(indignant。exquisite。an
