GRE難句解讀十五

63.It was not the change in office technology,but rather the separation of secretarial work,  previously seen as an apprenticeship for beginning managers,from administrative work that in the 1880's created a new class of “dead-end” jobs,thenceforth considered “women's work.”
    十九世紀(jì)八十年代,產(chǎn)生了新的一類“沒前途”的職業(yè),這并不是因為辦公室技術(shù)發(fā)生了改變,而是由于秘書工作——在此之前被視作是初起步的經(jīng)理們的一種習(xí)見訓(xùn)練——與行政工作的分離。自此以后,這類“沒前途”的職業(yè)便被視作是“女人的工作?!?BR>    64.The increase in the numbers of married women employed outside the home in the twentieth  century had less to do with the mechanization of housework and an increase in leisure time for these women than it did with their own economic necessity and with high marriage rates that shrank the available pool of single women workers,previously,in many cases,the only women employers would hire.
    二十世紀(jì)已婚婦女在家庭以外就業(yè)的人數(shù)不斷增加,這與家務(wù)的機(jī)械化及這些婦女閑暇時間的增加并無多大聯(lián)系,更多地是與婦女自身的經(jīng)濟(jì)需要和高婚姻率相關(guān)。高婚姻率致使所能雇傭的單身女工的總量縮減,而在此之前的許多情形中,單身女性則是雇主們所愿雇傭的-一類婦女。
    65,In order to understand the nature of the ecologist's investigation,we may think of the density-dependent effects on growth parameters as the “signal” ecologists are trying to isolate andinterpret,one that tends to make the population increase from relatively low values or decrease from relatively high ones,while the density-independent effects act to produce “noise” in the population dynamics.
    為了能理解生態(tài)學(xué)家們所從事的研究的性質(zhì),我們可以把那些作用于增長參數(shù)的密度依賴效應(yīng)視作生態(tài)學(xué)家們力圖將其分離并予以解釋的“信號”,正是這一信號傾向于使種群從相對較低的數(shù)值遞增,或從相對較高的數(shù)值遞減;而與此同時,那些密度獨立效應(yīng)起到的作用則構(gòu)成了種群動態(tài)變化中的“噪音”。
    66.But the play's complex view of Black self-esteem and human solidarity as compatible is no more “contradictory” than Du Bois' famous,well-considered ideal of ethnic self-awareness  coexisting with human unity,or Fanon's emphasis on an ideal internationalism that also accommodates national identities and roles.
    但該劇有關(guān)黑人自尊可與人類團(tuán)結(jié)相融合這一復(fù)雜觀點,絲毫都不比杜波伊斯(Du Bois)的理想或法儂(Fanon)的強(qiáng)調(diào)來得更為“矛盾”:杜波伊斯提出的的、深思熟慮的理想是,民族的自覺可以和人類大同共存;法儂則對理想的國際主義進(jìn)行了強(qiáng)調(diào),而這一理想的國際主義同樣也能兼容民族身份與角色。
