上期划线句答案

This makes sense when we consider the evidence that progress toward a goal is psychologically rewarding—arguably, even more so than attaining it.

当我们考虑到有证据表明朝着目标发展时心理上可以获得奖励，这就说得通了——可以说，这一过程甚至比实现目标本身更让人感到满足。

Para.1

Polling data from 20 such countries shows that, whereas two decades ago there was little difference between the share of men and women aged 18-29 who described themselves as liberal rather than conservative, the gap has grown to 25 percentage points. Young men also seem more anti-feministthan older men,buckingthe trend for each generation to be more liberal than its predecessor. Polls from 27 European countries found that men under 30 were more likely than those over 65 to agree that “advancing women’s and girls’ rights has gone too far because it threatens men’s and boys’ opportunities”. Similar results can be found in Britain, South Korea and China. Young women were likely to believe the opposite.

来自20个发达国家的民意调查数据显示，20年前自称自由派而非保守派的18至29岁的男性和女性在比例上几乎没有差别，但现在这一比例的差距已经扩大到25个百分点。年轻男性似乎也比年长男性更反对女权主义，这与一代比一代更倾向自由主义的趋势背道而驰。来自27个欧洲国家的民意调查发现，30岁以下的男性比65岁以上的男性更有可能同意“提升女性和女孩的权利已经过头了，因为威胁到了男性和男孩的机会”。类似的调查结果也出现在英国、韩国和中国。而年轻女性的看法往往恰恰相反。

Para.2

Unpickingwhat is going on is not simple. A good place to start is to note that young women are soaring ahead of their male peers academically. In the European Union fully 46% of them earn degrees, versus 35% of young men, a gap that has doubled since 2002. One consequence is that young women are more likely than men to spend their early adulthood in acocoonof campus liberalism. Meanwhile, boys outnumber girls at the bottom end of the scholastic scale. Across rich countries, 28% of them fail to learn to read to a basic level. That is true of only 18% of girls.

要搞清楚这到底是怎么回事并不简单。可以先来看看这样一个事实：年轻女性在学业上的成就正迅速领先于同龄男性。在欧盟足足有46%的年轻女性获得了学位，而年轻男性为35%，这一差距自2002年以来已经翻了一倍。一个结果是年轻女性比年轻男性有更高的比例在校园自由主义的茧房里度过她们成年的早期时光。同时，学业成绩垫底的学生里，男孩比女孩多。在各个富裕国家中，有28%的男孩不具备基本的阅读能力，这样的女孩只占18%。

Para.3

Another big change is that, to varying degrees across the developed world, immense progress has been made in reducing the barriers to women having successful careers. College-educated men are still thriving, too—often as one half of a double-high-incomeheterosexualcouple. Many men welcome these advances and argue for more. However, those among their less-educated brothers who are struggling in the workplace and thedating marketare more likely to be resentful, and to blame women for their loss of relative status. And young women, by and large, are glad of past progress but are keenly aware that real threats and unfairness remain, from male violence to the difficulty of juggling careers and children. In short, most young women and worryingly large numbers of young men complain that society is biased against their own sex.

另一个重大变化是，发达国家在减少女性通向事业成功的障碍方面取得了不同程度的巨大进步。受过大学教育的男性仍然过得顺风顺水，他们往往会与一位同样高收入的女性结为伴侣。许多这样的男性欢迎这些进步，并且支持更进一步。但是，他们那些学历更低、在职场和婚恋市场中频频碰壁的兄弟们更有可能感到不满，并认为是女性造成了他们相对地位的下降。总的来说，年轻女性对过去的进步感到高兴，但也敏锐地意识到真正的威胁和不公平仍然存在，从男性暴力到难以兼顾事业和孩子等等。简而言之，大多数年轻女性和多得可怕的年轻男性都抱怨社会对自己的性别存有偏见。

Para.4

Young women tend to vote for parties of the liberal left. Angry young men, sometimes dismissed as toxically masculine by those parties, are beingshrewdlywooedby politicians from the right and the far right. In South Korea their support helped an overtly anti-feminist president win power. In America polls aremuddybut some pollsters think young men aresouring onthe Democrats. In Europe, where many countries offer akaleidoscopeof political choices, young male votes have helped fuel the rise of reactionary outfits such as the AfD in Germany, Confederation in Poland and Chega, which surged at Portugal’s election on March 10th.

年轻女性倾向于投票给自由主义左翼政党。而愤怒的男青年——他们有时被那些政党斥为“直男癌”——正在被来自右翼和极右翼的政客们不失时机地拉拢。在韩国，他们的支持帮助一位公开反对女权主义的总统赢得了权力。在美国，民调结果含混复杂，但一些民调专家认为，年轻男性对民主党渐生反感。在欧洲，许多国家存在多种多样的政治选择，年轻男性的选票帮助推动了极端保守政党的崛起，如德国的选择党、波兰的联邦党和在3月10日葡萄牙大选中异军突起的“够了”党。

Para.5

There is no easy solution to any of this. But clearly, more should be done to help boyslagging behindat school to do better. Some policies that might work without harming their female classmates include hiring more male teachers (who are exceptionally scarce at primary schools in rich countries), and allowing boys to start school a year later than girls, to reflect the fact that they mature later. Better vocational training could encourage young men to consider jobs they have traditionallyshunned, from nursing to administration. Schooling boys better would not only help boys. Increasing the supply of educated and (one hopes) less angry men would be good for the women who must share the same world.

这些问题都没有简单的解决办法。但很明显，应该采取更多措施来帮一把学校里落后的男生。翻译划线句，在文末留言打卡，答案下期公布~更好的职业培训可以鼓励年轻男性考虑他们以往会绕道的工作，从护理到行政等。提升对男孩的学校教育成效不仅对男孩有益。多一些受教育程度高且（希望是）不那么愤怒的男性，对于必须和他们共享同一个世界的女性也是好事。
