雅思寫作中＂he＂和＂she＂的使用要分場(chǎng)合

中文的博大精深很多時(shí)候讓英語(yǔ)使用者嘆為觀止，就拿英語(yǔ)的性別稱謂來(lái)講，漢語(yǔ)里面可以用“他”指代所有人而沒有歧義，但在英語(yǔ)里面卻一定要區(qū)分＂he＂和＂she＂，尤其在雅思托福寫作的時(shí)候，性別稱謂怎么寫尤其重要。

盡量不用通性代詞he，除了明確地指代一個(gè)男性人物時(shí)，都要設(shè)法避免使用之。可以根據(jù)語(yǔ)境需要，選用下列替換方式：

1) 采用復(fù)數(shù)形式：

Sexist： When bathing a baby， never leave him unattended.

Revised： When bathing babies， never leave them unattended.

給嬰兒洗澡時(shí)，一定不能讓他們無(wú)人照料。

2) 用we/us/our改寫原句：

Sexist：From each according to his abilities， to each according to his needs.

Revised：From each of us according to our abilities， to each of us according to our needs.

各盡所能，按需分配。

3) 改用第二人稱：

Sexist： No man knows his true character until he has run out of gas， purchased something on the installment plan and raised an adolescent.

Revised： You don‘t know what your true character is until you have run out of gas， purchased something on the ! installment plan and raised an adolescent.

只有當(dāng)汽車大的油用光了，按分規(guī)付款方式購(gòu)物和撫養(yǎng)大一個(gè)孩子時(shí)，人的本來(lái)品性才會(huì)顯露出來(lái)。

4)改用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)

Sexist： One who， when he has the choice of two evils， chooses both.

Revised： One who， when given the choice of two evils， chooses both.

一個(gè)在兩種惡行之中要作出選擇就兩者都選的人。

5)完全省略代詞：

Sexist： What a person thinks of after he becomes a departee?

Revised： What a person thinks of after becoming a departee?

一個(gè)人離去后，會(huì)作何感想呢?

6)用冠詞替代：

Sexist： Can a critic give his opinion of an omelet without being asked to make one?

Revised： Can a critic give an opinion of...?

評(píng)論家議論煎蛋時(shí)難道到非要他去自己煎雞蛋嗎?
