导语:

中文的博大精深很多时候让英语使用者叹为观止,就拿英语的性别称谓来讲,汉语里面可以用“他”指代所有人而没有歧义,但在英语里面却一定要区分"he"和"she",尤其在雅思托福写作的时候,性别称谓怎么写尤其重要。

雅思写作雅思考试

中文的博大精深很多时候让英语使用者叹为观止,就拿英语的性别称谓来讲,汉语里面可以用“他”指代所有人而没有歧义,但在英语里面却一定要区分"he"和"she",尤其在雅思托福写作的时候,性别称谓怎么写尤其重要。

尽量不用通性代词he,除了明确地指代一个男性人物时,都要设法避免使用之。可以根据语境需要,选用下列替换方式:

1) 采用复数形式:

Sexist: When bathing a baby, never leave him unattended.

Revised: When bathing babies, never leave them unattended.

给婴儿洗澡时,一定不能让他们无人照料。

2) 用we/us/our改写原句:

Sexist:From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.

Revised:From each of us according to our abilities, to each of us according to our needs.

各尽所能,按需分配。

3) 改用第二人称:

Sexist: No man knows his true character until he has run out of gas, purchased something on the installment plan and raised an adolescent.

Revised: You don‘t know what your true character is until you have run out of gas, purchased something on the ! installment plan and raised an adolescent.

只有当汽车大的油用光了,按分规付款方式购物和抚养大一个孩子时,人的本来品性才会显露出来。

4)改用被动语态

Sexist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both.

Revised: One who, when given the choice of two evils, chooses both.

一个在两种恶行之中要作出选择就两者都选的人。

5)完全省略代词:

Sexist: What a person thinks of after he becomes a departee?

Revised: What a person thinks of after becoming a departee?

一个人离去后,会作何感想呢?

6)用冠词替代:

Sexist: Can a critic give his opinion of an omelet without being asked to make one?

Revised: Can a critic give an opinion of...?

评论家议论煎蛋时难道到非要他去自己煎鸡蛋吗?
