女人的地位-The Place of Women

The Place of Women
I shall at tempt to convince you that tile place of women is in the home. The family is the unit of society and the mother is the center of the family. How can the family keep together if the mother is out at work all day?
The government recognizes the need for women to he in the home by giving taxation concessions for the housewife. Every year, we also celebrate Mother＇s Day with gifts and with songs and poems praising motherhood.
It can be seen that with the accelerating deterioration eviden in family life today, the time is not far distant when, with the disappearance of the family, the human race will cease to exist.
In any case, women prefer to be at home. No person really wants to work. To be able to sit at home and gossip or read is every woman＇s ambition. It would be a kindness to forbid women to work outside the home.
From these arguments, there can be no doubt that society is best served when women are compelled to stay at home and look after their children.
[点评]
男女平等是当今社会所主张的，尤其是女权主义者所倡导的。但本文作者从对立的角度出发，提出了自己有些偏激的论点，并作了具体的阐述，也做到了有理有据。不知读者读后会有何感受。

女人的位置
我要试图说服大家：女人的位置是在家里。家庭是社会的单位，而母亲是家庭的中心。如果母亲整天在外面工作，家庭还怎么聚拢呢?
政府意识到妇女在家中是必不可少的，所以给家庭主妇做出减少纳税的优惠政策。每年，我们还要献上礼物、颂歌、诗词庆祝母亲节来赞美为母之道。
我们可以看到今天家庭生活明显地日趋解体，过不了多久，随着家庭的消亡，人类也将不复存在。
不管怎么说，女人还是乐意在家里呆着。没有人会真的想工作。能坐在家里聊聊天，看看书是每个女人最大的愿望。不允许妇女在家里以外的地方工作真是一大恩赐。
从这些论点来看，妇女被迫呆在家里看孩管家，受益最大的无疑是社会。
