新东方考研英语答案The phra “Ladies first!” has been heard around the world for many decades. Men often hold the door open for ladies and walk in behind them. But I am not sure if this is still necessary today. We no longer need, perhaps, to always let the ladies go first.
In the age of “Ladies first,” women were generally considered to be the weaker x. Men, therefore, had to show courtesy (谦恭) to women. Therefore, the phra “Ladies first” con
veys (传递) the stereotype (刻板印象) that women are born weaker and need special protection.
Modern women, however, are no less capable than men. Many of them have strong working abilities and have made great contributions (贡献) to our society. In 2015, Tu Youyou, a female scientist, became the first Chine winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Last year, Chloe Zhao, a female director, was awarded the Golden Lion, the top prize at the Venice Film Festival. The examples show that women are no longer weaker than men.
I believe that the days, women and men should be treated equally. Mutual (相互的) respect is what we need today. “Ladies first,”meanwhile, has become an outdated idea. I hope that people will stop saying “Ladies first.” The phra only deepens the stereotype that women are weaker. I don’t want to enjoy any “benefits”of being a woman or be treated unfairly just becau of my gender (性别).

抱怨英文At the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of writers combined creative writing with statement of national identity. China’s Lu Xun is a familiar example, along with W.B.
indicated
Yeats, Ireland’s greatest poet and the founder of the patriotic “Celtic Twilight” cultural movement. A third great literary patriot is the Bengali and Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore(1861-1941).
Tagore renewed Bengali writing, introducing the common people’s language into poetry and writing about the common people too. By showing the value of Bengali literature, he showed the reasons for the independence of India as a nation. It’s no surpri that he strongly supported his country’s independence from the British.
