东道主host[英][həʊst] [美][host] 中英文对照：繁琐的文化规范（7） 我知道这样做很荒唐，但是，我不由自主。我并没有成长在一个非常传统的家庭里，但是，毫不夸张地讲，飞机上的老年人为我提供服务的情境仍然让我不安。 歧视老人通常跟性别歧视掺杂在一起。如果在美国联合航空公司航班上的乘务员是一名男性，我的想法会有所不同吗？根本不会。回顾1986年，我第一次到海外的时候，我遇到了相似的文化碰撞，但是，那一次的问题很小。加拿大方的东道主带我们一行中国人到餐厅用餐。我小组里的少女们服务我们所有人就餐。东道主问我这位翻译道，中国人是否奉行“女士优先”这一社会规范。我说，没有。中国人奉行“长者优先”这一儒家规范。 I knew it was ludicrous, but I couldn't help it. I was not brought up in a very traditional family, but still that situation unsettled me, to say the least. The issue is often compounded with sexism. Were the UA flight attendant a man, would I have thought differently? Fundamentally, no. During my first trip overseas, back in 1986, I was placed in a similar but smaller dilemma. Our Canadian host took us, a group of Chinese, to a restaurant and the teenage girls in my group helped serve the food. The host asked me, the translator, whether China followed the "women first" etiquette. I said no, we have the "elders first" Confucian rule. 中英文例句 1. Surely none of us would be an ungracious host. 我们大家肯定没有人想作一个不像样的主人。 2. Use--basic for enabling http basic with a remote host. 使用--basic选项为远程主机开启基本http验证。 3. Killing the host is terminal for the parasite as well as the person. 杀死宿主对于寄生虫以及受感人体来说都是一种极端的做法。 4. Host will johnson keeps order. 主人will johnson维持秩序。 5. Who will host the 2020 olympics? 哪个城市将主办2020年奥运会？ |
