LanguageandCultureTips1.Ineverunderstandwhyitissomehowmoreliberatedtobearyourfather’snamethanyourhusband’s,especiallysinceyouchooseyourhusbandandinherityourfather.【Translation】我从来就搞不懂为何女子用父姓比用夫姓思想就更解放，尤其是，丈夫是自己挑的，而父亲却是生来就有的。【LanguageTips】liberated解放的，无拘束的

Sinceourcountrywasliberated,manypowerplantshavebeensetupinallpartsofit.

自从我们国家解放以来，在全国各地建起了许多发电厂。LanguageandCultureTips2.Formuchofthe18thand19thcenturies,Mrs.andMisswereusedtosignalage,notmaritalstatus,thoughbothofthemwerederivedfrom“Mistress”,awordthatwasthetitleforanywomanwithauthorityoverahousehold.【Translation】在18和19世纪的大多情况下，“夫人”和“小姐”只用来表明年龄，并不关乎婚姻状况。它们都源于“女主人”一词，该词用来指在家里能做主的任何女性。【LanguageTips】定语从句“thatwasthetitleforanywomanwithauthorityoverahousehold”修饰“aword”，与前面的“Mistress”构成同位语。LanguageandCultureTips3.Twentyyearslater,whenMs.Magazinewasborn,theeditorsexplained,“Ms.isbeingusedasastandardformofaddressbywomenwhowanttoberecognizedasindividuals,ratherthanbeingidentifiedbytheirrelationshipwithaman.”【Translation】20年后，杂志《女士》问世时，编辑解释说：“那些要求被当作独立个体而非因与男子的关系而取得身份的女性正在把‘女士’二字作为标准的称谓形式加以使用。”【LanguageTips】formofaddress称呼

Whatformofaddressshouldoneusewhenhe/sheiswritingtoaboss?LanguageandCultureTips4.Alltheseidentitiesareme:Ms.whenI’moutslayingdragons,Mrs.whenI’minthecompanyofthoseIlovemost,MisswhenIwanttostayhomeunderthecoversanddaydream.【Translation】这些身份都是指的我：一位在社会上奋斗的女士，一位有至亲至爱者相伴的夫人，一位静处一室放飞梦想的小姐。【CultureTips】在英语里，“dragon”的形象和内涵与中国的“龙”完全两样。在西方文化中，“dragon”是恶魔的象征；西方神话中的英雄人物都以能够亲手杀掉一头“dragon”为荣；在西方媒介中，“dragon”被用来象征恐怖主义、德国法西斯、黑社会势力、财政赤字、政治麻烦、火灾等。“Everyonehasadragontoslay”（每个人都有一头“dragon”等着他去杀死），是西方父母激励孩子克服困难时说的话。LanguageandCultureTips5.Feministsagenerationagofoughtforthetitleanddreamedoffreedomandchoiceandopportunity;maybethesurestsignthatthey’vewonisnotwhichtitlewepick,butthatwecanhavethemallatonce.【Translation】上一代女性主义者为了称谓而斗争，梦想着自由、选择和机会；如今她们已经取得胜利，其最确实的标志也许不是我们选用哪个称谓，而是我们可以同时把它们都用上。【LanguageTips】fightforv.为……而战，争取
