　　男女真的平等?

　　中文原文：

　　萬事萬物由方方面面組成，而那個(gè)“男女都一樣”的口號，只是向女人提出要求，卻沒有相同的口號要求男人和女人做得一樣：一樣耐心持久地?fù)嵊⒆右粯尤蝿谌卧沟夭俪旨覄?wù);一樣盡心盡責(zé)地侍奉老人。仔細(xì)想想，“男女都一樣”的口號曾鼓勵(lì)著許多婦女竭力地建樹了和男人一樣的豐功偉績，同時(shí)，女人卻依然要做那些和男人不一樣的事。其實(shí)，所謂“一樣”的口號，使女人在做著女人的同時(shí)再做男人;其實(shí)，所謂“一樣”的口號，讓女人們又給自己加重了一挑擔(dān)子;其實(shí)，女人和男人在根本上還是不一樣的。

　　參考譯文：

　　All things under heaven and earth are made up of different parts, but the slogan "women are as good as men" makes demands on women without making a corresponding demand on men to be “just as good as women”：to raise children just as patiently, to do household chores just as uncomplainingly, to care for the old just as dutifully. Come to think of it, the slogan "women are as good as men” has spurred women on to achievements to challenge men’s. But at the same time，women must still do what men do not stoop to. The fact is, “women are as good as men” means that women after doing what women do, must take up another burden. Let's face it, basically women are not as the same as men.
