空姐air sister 中英文对照：繁琐的文化规范（4） 当今，人们认为“女服务员”一词的政治立场有误，该词已经被汉语中的对等词空姐代替。这个词语实际上更有性别歧视的色彩。因此，当中国人谈及乘坐西方航班的体验时，他们满是怨言，通常称空姐为“空嫂”。对我而言，“空奶”这个词语或许更合适。 不仅仅是我有那种感觉。然而，45岁乘务员和65岁的乘务员服务的感觉是截然不同的。在亚洲，主流价值观儒家思想规定，年轻人要听老人家的话。60岁的时候，你就是一家之主、村里的长老了，你等着那些比你年轻的人去服侍你。 Now "stewardess" is considered politically incorrect and has been replaced. In Chinese, the equivalent kongjie (air sister or sister in the air) is actually more sexist. So, when Chinese gripe about their flying experiences on Western airlines, they often change the term to "air matron" and, in my case, probably "air granny". Perhaps it's just me, but I feel a crucial distinction between being served by a 45-year-old and by a 65-year-old. In Asia, the pervasive Confucian value system ordains that the young obey the old. When you reach the age of 60, you are by age master of the household and elder of the village. You wait to be served by those younger than you. 中英文例句 1. His sister is an air hostess. 他姐姐是空中小姐。 2. My elder sister is an air hostess. 我姐姐是个空姐。 3. My sister got us air tickets to europe. 我姐姐给咱们买了去欧洲的机票. 4. The sister dared not question the mayor; but she perceived plainly from his air that he had not come from there. 姆姆不敢问市长先生，但是她看神气，知道他不是从那里来的。 5. My sister lifts her head to get a gulp of air, pushing her mess of brown curls out of the way. 我妹妹抬起头吸一大口气，撩开她乱糟糟的褐色卷发。 |
