简评

男女平等是人们的美好夙愿,但什么才是真正的平等?怎样促成平等的实现?一些女权主义者们所倡导的能带来真正意义的平等吗?这是文章要告诉我们的。

文章观点比较独特,向进行了一个多世纪的女权运动提出了质疑。开篇亮出了观点,明确表态。“Nowadays,feminismhasbeenrunningforoveracentury.Result?Itranintotheextremeof‘equality'frommyperspective.”在第二段写到女权运动在现今社会的产物,进一步指出,“Itisunwise,orevenstupid,toignorea11thesedifferencesandpursueaso-called‘equalworld~”,并且附加了两个简洁有力的事实例证,加强这一论述观点。到此为止,文章的论述都是有条有理的,但文章接下来就急于结尾了,而对于什么是真正的平等,和如何促成平等的实现,几乎是一语带过,只写到,“Whatreallycountsisequalityinrights,reputation,etc.”没有展开任何的论述,感觉是指出了问题,却没找到真正的方向,最后一段的论述空洞,没有说服力,让人觉得虎头蛇尾,实在可惜。

文章中的关联词使用得不多,从语言表述方面也还不够成熟。英语语言是一种“chainlaneuaee”,而准确、恰当的关联词是语言学习是否步入一个成熟阶段的衡量指数,这也是该习作要注意提高的地方。
