A new Harvard study shows that immigrant boys and girls fare very differently in the outside world.
哈佛大学一项新的研究结果表明,移民中男孩和女孩在外面世界的发展差别很大。
When it comes to schooling, the Herrera boys are no match for the Herrera girls. Last week, four years after she arrived from Honduras, Martha, 20, graduated from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles. She managed decent grades while working 36 hours a week at a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Her sister, Marlin, 22, attends a local community college and will soon be a certified nurse assistant. The brothers are a different story. Oscar, 17, was expelled two years ago from Fairfax for carrying a knife and later dropped out of a different school. The youngest, Jonathan, 15, is now in a juvenile boot camp after running into trouble with the law. "The boys get sidetracked more," says the kids' mother, Suyapa Landaverde. "The girls are more confident."
谈到学业问题,身穿赫蕾拉美仑美奂时装的男孩根本无法与穿同样时装的女孩相比。上周,也就是从洪都拉斯来到美国四年之后,20岁的马撒从洛杉矶的费尔法克斯高中毕业。尽管每周都要在肯德基快餐店工作36个小时,但是她还是取得了相当好的成绩。她的姐姐马林今年22岁,在当地的一所社区大学读书,不久就将成为一名有资格证书的助理护士。她兄弟们的情况就完全不一样了。17岁的奥斯卡两年前因为携带小刀被费尔法克斯学校开除,后又从另一所学校辍学。最小的乔纳森今年15岁,惹上官司后现在在青少年新兵训练营。“这些男孩子多不走正道,”孩子们的母亲苏雅帕•兰达沃尔德说,“而女孩子却越发自信了。”
