2019考研英语经典短文背诵:失衡的性别比

  范文:

  The picture presents an interesting scenario occurring in a kindergarten. Little kids are playing on a teeterboard, on the two sides of which sit three boys opposite just one girl. The teacher, who stands beside, cannot help commenting that the situation would worsen when the children grow up.

  The cartoon vividly reflects a serious problem in the composition of China’s population, that is, the number of males outweighs that of females. Such a gap owes principally to a deep-rooted concept in the majority of the Chinese people’smind that only boys can continue the family bloodline as well as inheriting family honor and property. This is particularly thought in rural areas, thus creating a huge stimulus for residents to give birth to boys through all possible means. Despite the strict implementation of China’s family planning policy, some households never give up the efforts of expecting a boy even if they already have several daughters. Punishment and penalty fail to weaken the strong belief.

  The general favor toward the male leads to gender imbalance. It contributes to a series of social problems, especially increasing the male’s difficulty when finding a spouse.

  译文:

  这幅图描绘了在幼儿园发生的一个有趣场景。几个小孩子在玩跷跷板,一边是三个男孩、而另一边是一个女孩。站在旁边的老师不禁评论道这种失衡的性别比问题在孩子们长大以后就更明显了。

  这幅图生动地反映了中国人口组成的一个严重问题,即男性的人数大大超过了女性的人数。这种差距主要是源于中国大多数人的一种根深蒂固的关键,也就是男性能够继承家庭的血统、荣誉和财产。这种现象在农村尤其显著,因此人们有很大的动力通过任何可能的方式生男孩。尽管中国严格实施了计划生育政策,一些家庭尽管已经有了几个女儿、却仍然不放弃生男孩的努力。惩罚和罚款都不能削弱他们的坚强信念。

  因此,对于男性的普遍偏爱导致了性别失衡。这进一步引起了一系列社会问题,
