40.1 After years of second-class status, smaller rewards, and lesser coverage by sports writers, women athletes are making great strides not just in gymnastics and swimming, but in weightlifting and football. Women can and do compete well in nearly every sport and draw as large crowds of plying customers as men.
多少年来女运动员地位低下,报酬低,体育记者对她们报道也少。
现在她们正在取得很大的进步,不仅在体操、游泳,而且在举重和足球方面也取得了长足的进步。妇女在几乎所有的体育项目上都能,而且也确实干得很好,她们和男运动员一样能吸引许多观众。
40.2 After years of enthusiasm for more children, childbearing is losing its appeal for many young couples in big cities. In an increasing number, newly-weds put off having children or decide not to have one at all. The latest reports show that in 1994 married couples with wives under 35 had less than one child on average, while with wives over 55 had more than three children.
经过多年的多生孩子热后,大城市里的许多年轻夫妇对生孩子正逐渐失去兴趣。越来越多的新婚夫妇推迟生育孩子或决定不要孩子。根据最新的报道,1994年35岁以下的已婚女性平均生育子女还不到一个,而55岁以上的妇女则超过3个。
40.3 After a good many years of observing human nature in action, I have firmly concluded that two qualities make the difference between leaders and men of average performance. They are curiosity and discontent. These deep human urges work together, I believe, to motivate all human discovery and achievement.
