the Protestant small-town

真是可笑!这本该是美国的模样嘛!丹尼尔· 贝尔1976 年出版《资本主义文化矛盾》一书, 书中收录的一系列著名文章,他描述了新教徒小镇式道德观的衰落怎样动摇了美国资本主义的道德基础和对工作内在价值的认识。

By the 1960s, Bell argued, “The cultural justification of capitalism (had) become hedonism,

the idea of pleasure as a way of life.”

20 世纪60 年代,贝尔声称,“资本主义文化经过拨乱反正已变成了享乐主义文化,享受成为生活的一种方式。”

In a 1969 cover story titled “California: A State of Excitement”, Time reported that, as most

Americans saw it, “the good, godless, gregarious pursuit of pleasure is what California is all

about … „I have seen the future,‟ says the newly returned visitor to California, „and it plays.‟”

Is it safe to predict the result of the election on the basis of one opinion poll?

Historically, the most obvious example of sex bias has been paying women less than men for

doing the same work. Although unlawful, the practice is pervasive, and even now, after years

of strong feminist (and other) efforts to correct this inequity, women still earn only seventy

cents for every dollar earned by men.

有史以来,性别歧视最明显的例子就是女性与男性同工不同酬。这种做法虽不合法,但却很普遍。即使在今天,虽然女权主义者(及其他人士)多年来努力纠正这种不平等的状况,女性的工资仍然只有男性的70%。

This is wage inequality, not to be confused with the glass ceiling, which denies women the

opportunity to advance up the corporate ladder (which also, of course, impinges on wage

increase).

这就是“工资不平等”现象。不要将其与“玻璃天花板”(妇女在职务升迁上遇到的无形障碍)现象相混淆,“玻璃天花板”限制了女性晋升至公司高层的机会(当然,这同样影响了加薪)。

Let‟s say you‟re a woman working as a publicity director for a large corporation, and you earn

$35,000; your male counterpart, publicity director for another division of the same

corporation, is earning $50,000.

比方说你是名女性,在一家大公司做宣传部经理。你的工资是35,000美元。同为宣传部经理,在同一家公司另一部门任职的男同事却可以挣50,000美元。
