大家好，欢迎收听英语六分钟。我是凯瑟琳。

Li:AndI'mLi.Andtodaywearetalkingaboutwomen'srights.Catherine,doyouthinkwomen'srightsarewellcoveredbythemedia?

我是李。我们今天要讨论的话题是女权。凯瑟琳你认为媒体对女权的覆盖足够全面吗？

Catherine:Coveredmeans'talkedabout'.AndIwouldsayitcouldbebetter,tobehonest.Manywomen'smagazinesareallaboutbeautytips,fashionandhowtopleaseyourman.Now,I'minterestedintherealissues.Onethingthemediadoesn'ttalkaboutmuchiswhattheroleofchildlesswomen,likemyself,is.Andchildlessmeans'havingnochildren'.

覆盖到是指讨论到。说实话，我觉得还不够。许多女性杂志的内容都是一些美丽小贴士，服饰以及如何讨自己男人欢心。而我感兴趣的是实质性的问题。媒体没有过多涉及的一个问题是无子女的女性，例如我，的角色。无子女的就是没有孩子的。

Li:Yes.Insomesocieties,theroleofwomen—role,thewaytheyareexpectedtobehave—istohavechildren.Iftheydon't,it'slikethere'ssomethingwrongwiththem,andtheyaresupposedtobeunhappy.

是的。在一些国家，妇女的角色就是生育小孩（一个人的角色是指这个人被别人期待应当有的行为）。如果她们不这样做的话，人们会认为她们有什么问题而且不幸福。

Catherine:IhavenochildrenandI'mveryhappy.Anyway,womeninvariouscountriesaroundtheworldwanttodiscussproblemswhichareclosetohome.Andthat'swhytheBBChasorganisedaseriesofprogrammestodiscusssomeissuesthataffecthalftheworld'spopulation.Theseriesiscalled100Womenandit'sthethemeofthis6MinuteEnglish.

我没有孩子但是我很幸福啊。总之，世界各国的妇女想要讨论的话题都是与家庭紧密相关的。所以，BBC主办了一系列的节目来讨论影响着全球一半人口的一些问题。该系列节目叫做“100Women”，它是我们今天节目的主题。

Li:Thediscriminationagainstwomenhappensindifferentwaysindifferentcountries.

在不同的国家，妇女受歧视的情况不同。

Catherine:Discriminationmeanstheunjusttreatmentofpeoplewhobelongtodifferentgroups—inthiscase,maleandfemale.MaybeLi,morewomenshouldbeinpositionsofpower.Andthat'swhattoday'squizquestionisabout.Li,howmanyfemaleheadsofstateorgovernmentdowehavearoundtheworldnow,in2015?Isit:a)9？b)19？orc)29？

歧视是指对其他团体人士的不公正对待，这里指的是男人对女人的歧视。李，或许应该有更多的女性掌权者。我们今天的测试题目就是关于这个的。李，现在，2015年，世界上的国家或政府领导人中共有多少名女性？有a)9个？b)19个？还是c)29个？

Li:Well,I'mgoingtoguessc)29.

我猜是c)29个。

Catherine:That'sveryoptimisticandwe'llfindoutlaterifyou'reright.Now,let'stalkabouttheBBC's100Womenseason.TheseasonwillincludeprogrammesacrossalltheBBCplatforms—includingradio,online,TVandsocialmedia.AndtheBBC'sTammiWalkerisworkingonthesocialmediaoffer.Heresheis,explainingwhataudiencescanexpect.

你很乐观，我们稍后揭晓你的答案是否正确。现在我们来说一说BBC的这一季“100Women”节目。这一季的节目将会在BBC的各个平台上播出，包括电台、网络、电视和社交媒体。在BBC的社交媒体平台工作的塔米·沃克在这里为我们介绍了观众即将在节目中观看到的内容。

Withintheseasonwe'vegotbigdebates.Oneis"Isnewsfailingwomen?",whichisobviouslyatthecoreofwhatwearetryingtogetto.AndthatwillbealivedebateheldinLondonbutwe'regoingtohavepeoplespeakingindifferentcountriesaboutthat.Andwe'realsodoingabigdebatecalled"Whatdoesitmeantobeagoodgirloranidealwoman?".Decemberthe1stwehavethreetopics—leadership,relationshipsandimage—andwe'regoingtodothreelivedebatesonthatday.Andwe'vesentoutpackstoover100women'sgroupsaroundtheworld,sothatonthedaytheyallgetinvolved.

这一季我们组织了大型辩论。其中一期的辩题是“新闻媒体让女性失望了吗？”，这显然是我们迫切想要弄明白的一个问题。这场辩论将在伦敦现场直播，但是我们会请不同国家的人来进行辩论。我们的另一场大型辩论的题目是“做一个好女孩和一名理想女性意味着什么？”12月1日节目的三个话题是：领导力、人际关系和个人形象，我们会在当天直播三场辩论。我们的记者已经被分派到世界各地超过100个女性团体当中，以让她们参与其中。

Li:Soatthecoreoftheproject100Womentherewillbelivedebates.Bytheway,theword'core'means'thecentralpartofit'.

那么，“100Women”节目的核心内容是现场辩论。顺便说一下，核心的意思是最主要的部分。

Catherine:Indeed.AndasyouknowLi,insomecountries,womenfacesomefairlybasicproblems.Here'sTammiWalkeragain.Andthistime,whatwordmeans,well,youknow,whatyoudowhenyougotothetoilet?

是的。如你所知，李，在一些国家女性面临着一些相当基本的问题。让我们再来听一听塔米·沃克的介绍。在她所说的内容中，哪个词的意思是“去厕所”？

WearetyinginwithWorldToiletDay,withtherighttopee.ForexampleinIndia,womenarecharged25rupeestogotothetoiletwhereasmenobviouslycangoanywhereforfree.Youdon'thavetopaytogo!

我们所关注的问题与世界厕所日一致，即人们去厕所的权利。例如：在印度，女性去厕所需要交费25卢比，而显然在任何地方男性去厕所都不需要交费。去厕所不用交费！

Li:Yes.WomeninIndiahavetopaytopee—itmeanstourinate,topasswater—whilemencangoanywhere.Itisamatterofpublichealthtoo.

是的。女性在印度小便需要付费，而男性在任何地方都是免费的。这一问题还涉及到公共卫生。

Catherine:Mostdefinitely.Now,thisisthethirdBBC100Womenseason.LasttimeitpromptedabigdiscussioninIran.Let'shearwhatSanamDolatshahihastosay.She'saproducerfromBBCPersian.Andcanyouunderstandwhatthewordsexismmeans?

当然。现在BBC的“100Women”播出到第三季了。上一季节目在伊朗引起了广泛的讨论。让我们听一听萨纳姆·多拉查西的说法。她是BBC伊朗频道的制片人。你知道“性别主义”的意思吗？

Manypeoplearefamiliarwithother'isms'youknow—forexample,racism.Whenyousay'racism'peopleknowwhatitmeansinIran.Butnotnecessarilysexism.Manypeopleconfuseditwithsex.Sosomepeoplewereaskingus:Airyourprogrammesaboutsexismafterthewatershed,after9pm,youknow,sothatthechildrenwillnotwatch.

很多人对其他以“主义”结尾的短语很熟悉，比如种族主义。一提到种族主义人们知道说的是伊朗。但是性别主义不见得如此。很多人会把它与性混淆。因此一些人要求我们在晚上九点之后再播出节目，这样孩子们就不会看了。

Li:Sexismmeanstohaveaverystrictideaofwhateachsexcanorcan'tdoanditisaformofprejudice.Sometimespeopleareprejudicedandtheydon'tevenknowit.

性别主义是指认为每种性别的人应该做什么、不应该做什么应该有严格划分的观点，这是一种歧视。有时候人们受到歧视后
