2018年06月四级第3套仔细阅读 Passage 2 原文翻译及答案解析

A new batch of young women—members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的) generation—has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been—or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe that women are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get top executive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, it will be even harder for them to advance in their careers.

一批新的年轻女性——所谓的千禧一代成员——在过去十年间陆续进入劳动力市场。在职业生涯的起跑线上，她们的受教育程度比她们的母亲和祖母当时更高，也比现在的年轻男性同龄人更高。但当她们展望未来时，她们看到成功道路上的障碍。她们相信女性做同样的工作收入低于男性。她们认为男性比她们更容易获得高层管理职位。她们假设，如果和当她们有孩子时，职业生涯的晋升将更加困难。

While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with 57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.

尽管公众认为现在职场中的男女平等比20-30年前更好，但大多数人认为还需要更多改变。在千禧一代女性中，75%的人认为这个国家需要继续做出改变以实现职场性别平等，相比之下，千禧一代男性中有57%持相同观点。即便如此，相对较少的年轻女性（15%）表示她们在工作中因性别而受到歧视。

As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about work as their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they place relatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are less likely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they're not interested in becoming a boss or top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is even wider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that go with work and motherhood.

随着千禧一代女性成年，她们与男性同龄人对工作有许多相同的观点和价值观。她们想要提供安全和灵活性的工作，并且她们相对不太重视高薪。然而，与此同时，年轻职业女性比男性更不可能瞄准高层管理职位：34%的人表示她们对成为老板或高层管理者不感兴趣；只有24%的年轻男性持相同看法。在这个问题上的性别差距在30多岁和40多岁的职业成年人中更大，当许多女性面临工作与母亲身份之间的权衡时。

These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2,002 adults, including 810 Millennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recent decades, young women view this as a man's world—just as middle-aged and older women do.

这些发现基于皮尤研究中心于2013年10月7日至27日对2,002名成年人（包括810名千禧一代，年龄18-32岁）进行的新调查。调查发现，尽管近几十年来女性在教育成就和劳动力参与方面取得了巨大进步，年轻女性仍然认为这是一个男人的世界——正如中年和老年女性所认为的那样。
