2011年六月六级听力passage部分第二篇.求大神翻译帮助（机器翻译绕行）
Passage Two
Somehow the
old male and female stereotypes no longer fit. Men and women in this country
haven’t been fulfilling
their traditional roles for some time now. And there seem to be fewer
and fewer differences between the sexes. For instance, even though more women than
men are still homemakers without paying jobs, women have been taking over more responsibility in the business world, earning
higher salaries than ever before and entering fields of work that used to be
exclusively male areas. At office meetings and in group discussions, they might
speak up more often, express strong opinions and come up with more creative and
practical ideas than their male colleagues. Several days ago, my 23-year-old
daughter came to me with some important news. Not only had she found the
highest paying job of her career, but she’d also accepted a date with the most charming men she’d ever met.
“Really?”, I responded,” tell me about them.”
“Receptionist in an attorney’s office and a welder at a
construction site.” She answered in a matter-of-fact way. The interesting thing is my daughter’s date is the receptionist and my daughter is the welder. The old
stereotypes of men’s and women’s work have been changing more quickly than ever before, except perhaps in my own
marriage.
“Who's going to mow the lawn? ” I asked my husband
this morning.
“Oh, I will,” he answered politely. ”That's men's work. ”
“What?” Irritated, I raised my voice. “That's a ridiculous stereotype. I'll show you who can do the
best job on the lawn.”
The work took
3 hours and I did it all myself.
