托福写作慎用人物性别称呼

  尽量不用通性代词he,除了明确地指代一个男性人物时,都要设法避免使用之。可以根据语境需要,选用下列替换方式:

  1) 采用复数形式:

  Sexist: When bathing a baby, never leave him unattended。

  Revised: When bathing babies, never leave them unattended。

  给婴儿洗澡时,一定不能让他们无人照料。

  2) 用we/us/our改写原句:

  Sexist:From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs。

  Revised:From each of us according to our abilities, to each of us according to our needs。

  各尽所能,按需分配。

  3) 改用第二人称:

  Sexist: No man knows his true character until he has run out of gas, purchased something on the installment plan and raised an adolescent。

  Revised: You don‘t know what your true character is until you have run out of gas, purchased something on the ! installment plan and raised an adolescent。

  只有当汽车大的油用光了,按分规付款方式购物和抚养大一个孩子时,人的本来品性才会显露出来。

  4)改用被动语态

  Sexist: One who, when he has the choice of two evils, chooses both。

  Revised: One who, when given the choice of two evils, chooses both。

  一个在两种恶行之中要作出选择就两者都选的人。

  5)完全省略代词:

  Sexist: What a person thinks of after he becomes a departee?

  Revised: What a person thinks of after becoming a departee?

  一个人离去后,会作何感想呢?

  6)用冠词替代:

  Sexist: Can a critic give his opinion of an omelet without being asked to make one?

  Revised: Can a critic give an opinion of...?

  评论家议论煎蛋时难道到非要他去自己煎鸡蛋吗?
