Today’s Topic:世界仍需“国际妇女节”的六大原因主播:Selah | 翩翩音乐:今天是3月8日国际妇女节,Happy International Women’s Day,everyone!妇女节自20世纪初期确立到今日,已经有了百余年的时间。世界为什么仍然需要妇女节?有“六大原因”!一、世界仍需妇女节的“六大原因”01. Reason 1——Forced Marriage强迫婚姻28 girls a minute are being forced to marry against their will.全球范围内,每分钟,有28名女孩,被强迫结婚。据联合国妇女权能署(UN Women)数据统计,现如今有多于250 million(2.5亿)的女孩被强迫结婚before their 15th birthday,15岁前。*force v. 强迫*against prep.与……相反*will n. 意愿;意志02.Reason 2 ——Violence暴力World Health Organization(世界卫生组织WHO)数据统计显示:1 in 3 women will experience violence. 全球范围内,平均每3个中有一名女性,会遭受暴力。这种暴力既有physical 身体上的,也有sexual abuse(性虐待)。*WHO=World Health Organization世界卫生组织*violence /ˈvaɪələns/ n. 暴力*physical /ˈfɪzɪkl/ adj. 身体的*abuse /əˈbjuːs/ n.虐待03. Reason 3 ——Lack of Education教育缺失181 million girls and young women are not in education, employment or training.全球约有1.8亿年轻女子,没有受教育,没有工作,没有培训。英国用一个term(专有名词)来指这种情况:Neets(“not in education,employment or training”的缩写)。当女孩miss out oneducation,缺失教育,forced marriage(强迫婚姻), trafficking(人口拐卖)and poverty(贫穷)这些风险都会增加。Education is the key to a successful future and hopeful life.教育,是这些女孩有个成功未来的关键,也是生活有希望的关键。*employment /ɪmˈplɔɪmənt/ n. 工作*miss out on 失去……的机会*(human)trafficking /ˈtræfɪkɪŋ/ n. 人口拐卖*poverty /ˈpɑ:vərti/ n. 贫穷04. Reason 4 ——Limited Freedom of Money 金钱自由受限72 countries don’t allow women to open a bank account.全球有72个国家,不允许妇女开银行账户。没有金钱的自由,就意味着much less freedom and independence,更少的自由和独立。*account /əˈkaʊnt/ n. 账户*independence /ˌɪndɪˈpendəns/ n. 独立05. Reason 5——Body Dissatisfaction外貌焦虑1 in 10 women have self-harmed because of their body image.十个女性中,就有一个会因为自己的外表,而自我伤害。很多女性都会有外貌焦虑,她们会因为社会和周围的人用(a certain way)某种特定的眼光来看自己,而感受到巨大的pressure压力。所以,我们平时对身边的女性,要多一些encouraging(鼓励),少一些judgement(评判)。奥黛丽·赫本有一首诗,就是讲女性怎样才是最美的,和广大女性朋友共勉。For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.--Audrey Hepburn想要美丽的眼睛,就要发现别人身上的美;想要美丽的嘴唇,就要说一些善意的话;想要优美的姿态,就要与知识同行,这样你就永不孤单。--奥黛丽·赫本06. Reason 6——Human Trafficking人口拐卖Most victims (79%)of human trafficking are women. 人口拐卖受害者中,79%是女性此信息is based on data gathered from 155 countries(根据全球155个国家提供的数据)这些女性同胞的灾难与困境,happen all around the world,只是,生活在和平国家的我们,并没有realizing or knowing it is happening。*victim /ˈvɪktɪm/ n. 受害者* human trafficking人口拐卖* sexual exploitation性交易* victims受害者二、妇女节的正确打开方式The good way to celebrateWhy should men care about women’s day?男生为什么应当重视妇女节?- There are many women in your life.- You must show your support to bring about real change in the world.在三八妇女节这天,广大的男性朋友们,可以借此机会,提醒自己:从古到今,从东到西,千百年来,女性从各个角度来讲,都很不容易。应该对身边的女性给予充分的尊重与理解,在家庭中帮助女性多承担一些,help them carry the burden。在日常生活中,男性应有担当、有理想、有行动,积极进取,刚健不息。女生们呢,How should we celebrate Women’s Day?从女性角度来讲,我们要充分理解到“我们是一个家庭、乃至社会的灵魂”,在此基础上,我们女性,要进行充分的成长自我。有知识、有技能,有智慧,宁静从容,厚德载物。女同胞们,今天,我们除了买礼物,网上消费,也许还有更有意义的妇女节过法:1. Reach out to the women in your life who have inspired you.联系那些激励过你的女性。2. Call, text, send a card or email a woman who you know who has had an impact on your life.联系那个对你人生有过影响的女性(也许是亲戚、导师、老师、朋友、同事…),打电话、信息、寄卡片、邮件都可以。3. 看看身边有没有需要帮助的女性,为她提供一定的帮助,可以是精神的、语言的,或者物质的。We hope you allowed Women’s day to become more meaningful to you. We can all make a difference and change the world around us.请在留言板告诉大家,对你生命有积极影响的是哪位女性?她如何影响的你呢?
