worlds through the windows their books have opened, so to he has bee an avid and omnivorous is as if he wants to read all those marvellous books he hadn’t had a chance to read in his university now, in his spare time, he has read several hundreds of books, including novels, biographies and travel realizes that books can not only reveal to him the vista of a hopeful future and help him withstand stresses and strains, they can also help him clear up some misconceptions and discover the true meaning of 3一個(gè)人的穿著似乎能影響他的行為方式。譬如,在校內(nèi)要穿校服是中小學(xué)生所必須嚴(yán)格遵守的規(guī)矩之一。倘若在學(xué)生著裝整齊劃一和行為的統(tǒng)一規(guī)范之間不存在一種象征性關(guān)聯(lián)的話,校服便不可能如此盛行。(hard and fast。there is no doubt that。currency。correlation)What you wear seems to dictate your primary school and high school students for of the hard and fast rules they have to observe is that they must wear uniforms at is no doubt that school uniforms would not have achieved their currency without a symbolic correlation between the uniformity of clothes and the students’ conformity to some mon code of ,多年的學(xué)校生活讓學(xué)生在內(nèi)心里對(duì)隨處可見(jiàn)的校服產(chǎn)生了抵觸情緒,校服畢竟壓制了個(gè)性的表達(dá)。為了彌補(bǔ)這種損失,學(xué)生常常會(huì)在周末穿流行的休閑裝。直到上了大學(xué),他們才會(huì)享受真正的著裝自由,而服裝上的無(wú)序與大學(xué)培養(yǎng)創(chuàng)造力、鼓勵(lì)自由表達(dá)思想及展露才華密切相關(guān)??上н@樣的好景不會(huì)太長(zhǎng),經(jīng)過(guò)一段相對(duì)短暫的自由之后,他們?cè)诋厴I(yè)工作之后將再次經(jīng)歷著裝規(guī)范的壓力。(backlash。ubiquitous。pensate

4談及目前經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條所帶來(lái)的影響,學(xué)生活動(dòng)的減少就是一個(gè)很好的例證。為了活躍校園生活,大學(xué)愿意劃撥一部分資金來(lái)資助學(xué)生社團(tuán)活動(dòng),但由于今年學(xué)校的預(yù)算大幅減少,對(duì)社團(tuán)的資助也相應(yīng)縮減了不少。顯然,學(xué)生社團(tuán)要恢復(fù)以前的活力就必須想辦法克服自身的經(jīng)濟(jì)困難。有人主張招募更多會(huì)員,因?yàn)闀?huì)員費(fèi)的增加可以幫助他們度過(guò)難關(guān)。(when it es to。carve out。pare down)When it es to the effects of the current economic downturn, the decrease of student activities is a good case in enliven campus life, the university is always willing to carve out some money for activities organized by student clubs and societies, but such sponsorships have been pared down this year because of huge budget , student organizations need to weather their own financial crisis if they want to recover from their current state of suggest enrolling more club members, on the ground that the consequent increase of membership fees may help them get out of the ,如果有更多的會(huì)員交年費(fèi),而且縮減一些日常開(kāi)支,我們還是能省下一些錢(qián)來(lái)組織活動(dòng)的。但是,問(wèn)題的關(guān)鍵在于社團(tuán)活動(dòng)的費(fèi)用與參加活動(dòng)的人數(shù)是成正比的,因此這種方法恐怕不太可行。要推進(jìn)社團(tuán)活動(dòng),同時(shí)又不使經(jīng)費(fèi)超支,我們必須群策群力,拿出別的籌錢(qián)方法,而不是僅僅依賴學(xué)校撥款和會(huì)員費(fèi)。(cut back on。bottom line。go into the red。pool。in lieu of)No doubt, if we have more members paying the annual fee, and if we cut back on our daily expenses, we can spare some money to organize the bottom line is that the expenses of these activities are in proportion to the number of ’m afraid this won’t be of much boost student activities and to avoid going into the red, we still need to pool our ideas and e up with some other ways of raising money, in lieu of just relying on university grants and membership 5我們對(duì)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(duì)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(qiáng)悍、能干、可靠,那么小伙子們也就別無(wú)選擇,只能把自己訓(xùn)練得強(qiáng)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(huì)在悲嘆自己的光棍生涯中度過(guò)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(huì)假裝自己將來(lái)會(huì)成為賢妻良母。(presumption。option。other than。bemoan。unwritten rule。to be prone to。let on)Our presumptions about what ideal husbands or wives are like reveal a lot about our gender expectations as well as our responses to most girls want their fianc233。s to be tough, capable and reliable, there is no option left for young men other than to be trained as tough, capable and reliable if they want to win girls’ they act to the contrary,

,我們就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)這是受生理和社會(huì)因素制約的。無(wú)疑,女性為孕育嬰兒做好了生理準(zhǔn)備,而男人則完全不適合這項(xiàng)工作。男人只有努力掙錢(qián)養(yǎng)家,才能讓一家人過(guò)上好日子。(goes without saying)Looking into such gender expectations, we may find that they are based on both physiological and social goes without saying that women are physically prepared to bear children, whereas men are utterly unfit for the , a family is better off when its male members devote their time to providing food and other necessities for 6為保證校園的安全,校方最近發(fā)布了一項(xiàng)新的規(guī)定,禁止小商販進(jìn)入校園。校長(zhǎng)呼吁學(xué)生在這件事上與學(xué)校合作。學(xué)生們表示強(qiáng)烈反對(duì),幾百名學(xué)生在學(xué)校的BBS上表達(dá)了他們的憤怒。他們說(shuō),因?yàn)樾@離市中心很遠(yuǎn),校內(nèi)商店里的貨品又不多,把小販趕出校園就無(wú)異于把學(xué)生扔到孤島上。有些人提出,正是在這樣的事情上,學(xué)校應(yīng)該聽(tīng)取學(xué)生的意見(jiàn)和需求。有些學(xué)生認(rèn)為,這項(xiàng)規(guī)定能讓校園更安全的想法是錯(cuò)誤的。(it’s for matters of this kind。get )To make the campus safer, the university authorities recently released a new regulation that forbids any vendors from entering the campus, and the president called on the students to cooperate with the university on this the students’ opposition was strong, and hundreds of them expressed their anger on the university said that to keep vendors off campus was like deserting students on an isolated island, as the university was far away from the downtown and the shopson the campus did not provide enough claimed that it was precisely for matters of this kind that the university should listen to students’ opinions and students thought the university had got it wrong in believing that this regulation will ensure safety on ,為彌補(bǔ)過(guò)失,他宣布學(xué)校將重新考慮這項(xiàng)規(guī)定。他對(duì)學(xué)生說(shuō),他們完全有權(quán)力過(guò)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(gè)大超市,在宿舍樓附近開(kāi)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 safe
