職場(chǎng)猶如獵偶戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)埃絲特·維勒Part2_TA_t1許多女人在如今的工作場(chǎng)所都占有一席之地:有的當(dāng)秘書,有的當(dāng)售貨員,有的當(dāng)工人,有的當(dāng)服務(wù)員——更不用說,那些生活在大學(xué)校園里的無數(shù)熱情洋溢的年輕女子了,她們的數(shù)量在不斷增加。你也許會(huì)獲得這樣的印象:20年來,女人的本性已發(fā)生了巨大的變化。如今的年輕女子和他們的母親相比似乎更講公平了。她們似乎已決定不再利用男人,而是真心成為他們的伴侶——也許是出于對(duì)受害男人的一片憐憫之心吧。這種印象是靠不住的。任何女人唯一的終身大事,不過是選擇一位稱心如意的伴侶,而她在其他方面即使選擇失誤也能承擔(dān)得起。于是,她要在男人工作或?qū)W習(xí)的場(chǎng)所找個(gè)丈夫。在這種地方,她可以仔細(xì)觀察和判斷她所注重的男人必備的那些品質(zhì)。對(duì)她來說,機(jī)關(guān)、工廠和大學(xué)不過是個(gè)巨大的婚姻市場(chǎng)而已。TranslationofTextPart2_TA_t2年輕女子選擇某一領(lǐng)域作為獵偶場(chǎng)所時(shí),在很大程度上取決于曾是她奴隸的那個(gè)男人,即她父親的收入標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。高薪階層男人的千金小姐會(huì)選擇高等院校。這種地方提供了最好的機(jī)會(huì),能讓她們捕獲到賺大錢的男人,從而維持她們?cè)?jīng)享受過的那種生活標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。況且,在校讀一陣子書走走形式,要比臨時(shí)就業(yè)省力得多。家庭不太富裕的女孩們只好到工廠、商店、公司或醫(yī)院去打工——但還是抱著同樣的目的。沒有一個(gè)人打算長久守著那份工作。他們只是工作到結(jié)婚為止——即使生活貧困,也只是工作到懷孕為止。這就給女人提供了一個(gè)重要的有利地位:如今結(jié)了婚的婦女“為了自己所選擇的丈夫”放棄學(xué)業(yè)或工作——這種“犧牲”就導(dǎo)致了丈夫的義務(wù)。所以,女人工作和學(xué)習(xí)時(shí),只是起個(gè)濫芋充數(shù)的作用而己,而且比以往更加拼命地奴役男人,因?yàn)榻逃吐殬I(yè)對(duì)于男人和女人來說,意義截然不同。工作對(duì)于男人來說,生死攸關(guān)。通常說來,他涉世的最初幾年具有決定意義。任何男人活到25歲,如果事業(yè)尚未有成,別人幾乎都會(huì)認(rèn)Part2_TA_t3為他沒有希望了。在這個(gè)階段,他的各種能力還正在發(fā)展之中,他與競(jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)手的較量是一場(chǎng)殊死搏斗。在工作友情的面具下,他時(shí)刻注視著某個(gè)同事可能會(huì)顯示出優(yōu)勢(shì)的跡象,一旦出現(xiàn)這種跡象,他就會(huì)焦慮不安。如果這個(gè)同事顯示出軟弱或優(yōu)柔寡斷的跡象,他會(huì)立刻加以利用。然而,男人只不過是一臺(tái)巨大工作機(jī)器上的一個(gè)小齒輪,他自己其實(shí)是處處在受剝削。他在驅(qū)使別人的同時(shí),更是在驅(qū)使自己。他的命令實(shí)際上來自上司,由他傳達(dá)而已。即使上司偶爾才發(fā)冗夸他一番,也并非為了讓他高興,而是鞭策他、激發(fā)他更加賣力而已。對(duì)于從小養(yǎng)成自傲并受人尊敬的男人來說,每天上班都意味著要不斷蒙受無休止的恥辱。明知產(chǎn)品無用,他卻顯得饒有興致;明知笑話無聊,他卻忍俊不禁;明明并非己見,他卻要表達(dá)一番。他時(shí)刻不能忘記:稍有疏忽就可能意味著降職,稍有口誤就可能丟了飯碗。然而女人,她們是所有這些較量的根本原因,而且較量就在她們眼皮底下進(jìn)行,而她們卻袖手旁觀。女人上班意味著調(diào)情、約會(huì)、挑逗和嬉鬧,干點(diǎn)少量雜“活兒”只是做做樣子而已——工作通常無需她們負(fù)責(zé)。Part2_TA_t4她知道自己不過是在打發(fā)時(shí)間,即使由于這樣或那樣的原因,她不得不繼續(xù)工作下去,至少她已經(jīng)做了多年的美夢(mèng)。她站在一個(gè)安全的地方,觀看男人們角斗,時(shí)而為其中一位斗士喝彩,或是鼓勵(lì)他或是矣落他。在為男人們沖咖啡、拆郵件或者聽他們打電話的時(shí)候,她不露聲色地挑選自己的意中人。一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)“如意郎君”,她便欣然隱退,將戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)留給后來者。大學(xué)里的情況也是這樣。美國的高等院校招收的女生越來越多,但是真正能夠完成學(xué)業(yè)的還不如二戰(zhàn)以前那么多。課堂上,她們愉快地坐在那里,為自己設(shè)計(jì)春天的衣裝;在課余,她們與男生打情罵俏。她們?cè)诮馄适依飻[弄尸體的時(shí)候,總是戴著一雙透明的橡膠手套,小心翼翼地保護(hù)著那鮮紅的指甲,而她們的男同學(xué)卻認(rèn)識(shí)到,自己的整個(gè)未來吉兇未卡。假如一個(gè)女人戴著訂婚指環(huán)離開校門的話,等于她已經(jīng)拿到了學(xué)位,而男人拿到畢業(yè)文憑的時(shí)候,只能算是剛剛起步。學(xué)位畢竟唾手可得——你只需死記硬背。有多少考官能夠分辨得清,什么是真才實(shí)學(xué),什么是蒙混過關(guān)?然而,男人還得要懂自己的專業(yè)。他以后能否成功,取決于基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)是否扎實(shí);他將來的名望就寄托于此,而且其他人也經(jīng)常依靠這個(gè)過日子。女人無須如此拼搏。如果她中止學(xué)業(yè),嫁給一位大學(xué)教師,無須努力就已經(jīng)取得和他同樣的水平。作為工廠老板的太太,她會(huì)比自己的丈夫更受人尊敬(而沒有這種身份的人,充其量只能受聘于這家工廠的裝配線上)。作為妻子,她始終享有與丈夫同樣的生活標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和社會(huì)地位。她不必做任何事情,就可以擁有這些東西。正因?yàn)槿绱?,成功的捷徑就是嫁給一個(gè)成功的男人。贏得這樣的男人,她無須通過勤勉、抱負(fù)或毅力——只要有這人的外表就行。
我們都已知道,訓(xùn)練有素的男人對(duì)女人的相貌有什么樣的要求。最出色的女教官輕而易舉就可俘獲男性中最成功的斗士。所謂的“漂亮”女人,通常自童年時(shí)代就過著安逸的生活。因此,她們用不著像別人那樣去開發(fā)智力。(智力的開發(fā)只有通過競(jìng)爭(zhēng)。)由此可以得出合乎邏輯的結(jié)論:非常成功的男人往往娶的是極其愚蠢的妻子(當(dāng)然,除非你把女人勾引男人的本事視為聰明才智的表現(xiàn))。一個(gè)真正成功的男人,無論是公司經(jīng)理還是金融家,無論是船運(yùn)大亨還是管弦樂隊(duì)指揮,其事業(yè)登峰造極之時(shí),都會(huì)娶一個(gè)漂亮的模特Part2_TA_t4Part2_TA_t4兒作為自己的第二或第二任夫人。這種事情如今已司空見慣。通過繼承獲得錢財(cái)?shù)哪腥?,?jīng)常會(huì)把這種超級(jí)女郎娶作第一任夫人——盡管幾年之后她會(huì)被另一位超級(jí)女郎所取代。然而,一般說來,凡是當(dāng)模特兒的,都是一些受教育不多的女人,甚至連中小學(xué)都沒有上完。而且,在結(jié)婚之前,她們除了長得漂亮,能在鏡頭前擺姿勢(shì)之外,什么事情都不做。但是,她們長得“漂亮”——這就是她們致富的潛在資本。女人一旦捕獲到自己的男人,便會(huì)“為了愛情而放棄事業(yè)”——或者,至少她會(huì)對(duì)男人如是說。畢竟,他并不只是滿足這樣的想法:在一發(fā)千鈞之時(shí),是他解救了她,從而使她避免了考試的煎熬之苦。他更會(huì)陶醉于愛情是“無法折中”的想法,而這種想法卻是女人為男人假裝表白的。他常常這樣想,天曉得,或許她本來可以成為一位著名的外科醫(yī)生(或是著名的芭蕾領(lǐng)舞,或是出色的新聞?dòng)浾撸?,而她卻為他放棄了一切。他永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)想到,她更愿意做一個(gè)著名外科醫(yī)生的妻子,有他的那樣的收入和地位,不必去上班,也無須承擔(dān)責(zé)任。因此,為了彌補(bǔ)她所做出的巨大犧牲,他決心盡可能讓她在自己身邊過上舒心的日子。Part2_TA_t5在西方工業(yè)國家,取得學(xué)位后才結(jié)婚的女生確實(shí)也有一些,但百分比不大(占10%-20%)。除偶有例外,她們通常不太引人注目,在校期間沒有找到將來供養(yǎng)她們的合適人選。但是后來,學(xué)位會(huì)自動(dòng)提高她們的市場(chǎng)價(jià)值,因?yàn)橛行┠腥苏J(rèn)為,如果妻子有個(gè)學(xué)位,就可以幫他們一把不過他們自己得有個(gè)學(xué)位才行。如果這樣一位受過高等教育的女人對(duì)他有意,這明顯證明他本人聰明。假如這位才女碰巧又很性惑,他會(huì)樂得忘乎所以。但這種情況持續(xù)不了多久。即使是女醫(yī)生、女社會(huì)學(xué)家、女律師也都為了她們的男人“犧牲”自己的事業(yè),或者說,至少把自己的事業(yè)擱置一旁。她們隱退到郊外的平房,生兒育女,養(yǎng)花種草,添置雜物。幾年的功夫,那一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)靠死記硬背學(xué)來的“專業(yè)知識(shí)”全被這些閑情雅趣沖得一干二凈。她們?nèi)甲兊煤妥筻徲疑崮切D女沒什么兩樣了。Part2_TA1_sacrificesof...“Sacrifices”ofthisnaturecreateobligations.thesetwokindsofsacrificeresultintheman’sdutyorresponsibility;ifamarriedwomangivesuphereducationorcareerforthesakeofherhusband,itisherhusband’sresponsibilitytotakecareofherPart2_TA2_itmerely…itmerelyservestofalsifystatistics…itonlyperformsafunctionofaddinguntruedetailstotheanalysisofthenumberofpeoplewhoareengagedinthetaskinamisleadingwayinordertoconfusethecollectedinformationabouttheworkforcePart2_TA2_becauseeducation...becauseeducationandtheprofessionsmeansomethingverydifferentwhenappliedtowomenasopposedtomen.becauseeducationandtheprofessionsmeanonethingtomenandquiteanothertowomenPart2_TA2_itisamatteroflifeanddeath…itisamatteroflifeanddeath…itisextremelyimportantPart2_TA2_behindamaskofbusinessfriendshipBehindamaskofbusinessfriendship,heisconstantlyonthewatchforanysignofsuperiorityinoneofhisassociates,andhewillnoteitsappearancewithanxiety.Hepretendstobefriendlytohiscolleagues,butactuallyheisonthealertallthetimeforfearthatoneofhiscolleaguesmayshowsignsofbeingsuperiortohim,andoncehiscolleagueshowsadvantagesoverhim,hewillbecomeveryanxious.Part2_TA2_whenhedrivesothersWhenhedrivesothers,hedriveshimselfmostofall.Whenheforcesotherstoworkhard,hehastoworkevenharder.Part2_TA3_hisordersHisordersarereallyordersfromabove,passedonbyhim.Theordershehasgiventohisinferiorsareinfacttheordershehasreceivedfromhissuperiorandhemerelyservesasamessenger.Part2_TA4_itisonlytospurhimon
