難句譯注

1.ShewillnotbecontenttobeExecutiveAssistanttoMr.SeldomSeenoftheAssistantVicePresident’sGirlFriday,whoistheonlyonewhocomesinonSaturday.

這是杜撰的名字，含有挖苦內(nèi)涵。Mr.SeldomSeen很少見到的先生。說明公司很難見到他。那么做他的助手就是她替他干一切活。星期五姑娘。星期五是《魯濱遜漂流記》中的一個人物，是魯濱遜的仆人。這位星期六休假日來上班的姑娘，固然得干仆人的一切活。

[參考譯文]她不會滿足做“很少見”先生的助手，也不愿做助理副主席的星期五姑娘，那位姑娘是唯一的一個星期六來上班的人。

2.Men,shebelieved,hadcreatedadomestic,servileroleforwomeninorderthatmencouldhavethecareerandtheopportunitytoparticipateinmakingthegreatdecisionsofsociety.

[構(gòu)造簡析]shebelieved形式上插入語，實際Men句是它的賓語從句。Inorderthat義：為的是。目的狀語。

[參考譯文]她認為男人為婦女創(chuàng)制了一個持家操勞的奴隸角色，為的是男人可以獲得事業(yè)和機遇參加打算重大的社會選擇。

3.Thustheradicalfeministheldthatwomenthroughhistoryhadbeenoppressedanddehumanized,mainlybecausemanchosetoexploithiswifeandthemotherofhischildren.Sometimesitwasdeliberateexploitationandsometimesitwastheinnocenceofneverlookingbeneaththepretensionsoflife.

[構(gòu)造簡析]兩句句子。前一句的賓語為主從句，后為并列句。

[參考譯文]于是，激進女權(quán)主義者認為綜觀歷史，婦女始終是被壓迫被奴役，被非人化，主要緣由就是由于男人就是想剝削他的妻子，孩子們的母親。有時是有意的剝削；有時是由于沒有透過生活的假象看到問題的實質(zhì)，是無知所致。

4.BettyFriedan,GloriaSteinem,GermaineGreer,andmanyothershammeredhometheirideaswithapersistencethatarousedandintriguedmanyofthebrightestandmostablewomeninthecountry.

[參考譯文]BettyFriedan，GloriaSteinem，GermaineGreer，以及其他很多激進女權(quán)主義者堅持不懈的強行灌輸（推行）他們的思想，夢想并吸引了國內(nèi)很多最聰容，最能干的婦女。

寫作方法與文章大意

文章論述“爭取女權(quán)運動的婦女”，也可以說是女權(quán)運動的其次次浪潮。從歷史上的女權(quán)運動激進分子觀點談起：婦女為男人所奴役，剝削。由于男的想獨攬決策社會的大權(quán)，到女子覺醒，熟悉自己和自己的力氣，把男人視作她們共同的敵人。最終是目前向緩沖進展的趨勢，也是觀點。

答案祥解

1.A.其次次女權(quán)運動的浪潮。在第一段，一般性描述之后（見難句譯注1），畫龍點睛的指明“她就是我所指的`其次次女權(quán)運動浪潮的象征。她是決心要成為的現(xiàn)代婦女的代表?！币院蟮奈恼戮褪菄@女權(quán)運動而寫的。見文章大意。

B.婦女的獨立精神。這只是女權(quán)運動中局部內(nèi)容。C.婦女團結(jié)。第三段一開頭就提到“激進女權(quán)主義者發(fā)覺
