1) In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply seperated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent,notions of male superiority are hard to maintain.

　　在男女角色沒有明顯劃分，家務(wù)事或多或少由雙方共同承擔(dān)的家庭中，男尊女卑的觀點是很難維持的。

　　2) In such a home,the growing boy and girl learn to accept that equality more easily than their parents did and to prepare more fully participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the "battle of the sexes".

　　在這種家庭長大的孩子比他們父母更容易接受平等的觀念,并做好充分準(zhǔn)備去加入一個合作的,而不是"性別大戰(zhàn)"的社會.

　　3) There are signs that pshchologists and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should nor receive all the credit,nor all the blame.We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home.

　　有一些跡象表明,有關(guān)家庭方面的心理學(xué)家和專家意識到男性在家庭中的作用,他們認(rèn)為在涉及家庭方面的問題上不應(yīng)該由女性承擔(dān)所有的贊揚(yáng)或指責(zé)。我們已經(jīng)不再堅持認(rèn)為女性就應(yīng)該呆在家里。

　　4) We are beginning,however,to study a man’s place in the home and to resist that he does have a place in it.Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.

　　相反的,我們開始研究男性在家庭中的地位,并堅持男性在家庭中占有一席之地的觀點.男性在家庭中的地位與孩子的健康成長不無關(guān)聯(lián).

　　5) The family is a cooperative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules,because each family memberneeds to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.

　　家庭是一個合作的集體，很難制定通用的準(zhǔn)則，因為每個家庭中的成員都需要找出自己問題的具體方法。

　　6) Scientists at Johns Hopkins have discovered :striking" differents between men and women in a part of the brain linked with ability to estimate time,judge speed,visualize things three-dimensionally and solve mathematical problems.

　　約翰，霍普金斯大學(xué)的科學(xué)家已發(fā)現(xiàn)在大腦中與估算時間，判斷速度，想象三維事物以及解答數(shù)學(xué)題等能力有關(guān)的部位，在男女之間存在驚人的差別。

　　7) The differences,the researchers say,may underlie well-known trends that vary by sex,such as the fact that more men than women are architects,mathematicians and race-car drivers.

　　研究人員指出,這種差異可能會形成眾所周知的男女有別的傾向,例如,事實上建筑師,數(shù)學(xué)家,和賽車手中男性就多于女性.

　　8) In women in the study,it is the right IPL that is somewhat larger,though the difference between the two sides of the brains is less obvious than in men,say Psychiatrist Godfrey Pearlson,M.D. ,who headed the project.

　　領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這項研究的精神病學(xué)家,醫(yī)學(xué)博士皮爾遜說,研究表明,女性的右下頂葉略大一些,盡管女性大腦兩邊的這種差異沒有男性那么明顯.

　　9) It allows the brain to process information from senses such as vision and touch,and enable the sort of thinking involved in selective attention and perception.

　　下頂葉使大腦能夠處理從諸如視覺和觸覺等感官傳來的信息,并使涉及有選擇性注意和知覺之類的思維活動得以進(jìn)行.

　　10)There are plenty of exceptions,but there is also a grain of truth,revealed throught the brain structure,that we think underlies some of the ways people characterize the sexes.

　　當(dāng)然有很多意外,但也不乏從大腦結(jié)構(gòu)中顯露出的某些事實,我們認(rèn)為這事實構(gòu)成了人們在性別方面的某些特征.
