4.寫信時(shí)，如果不知道收信人的性別，不要使用傳統(tǒng)的Dear Sir； Dear Gentleman， Dear Madam. 可以選用下列之一：
1) Dear friends of the library(親愛的圖書館的朋友們)
2) Dear Madams and Sirs(親愛的女士們及先生們)
3) Dear Personnel Officer(親愛的人事處長)
4) Dear Committee Member(親愛的委員)

6) Dear Customer(親愛的顧客)
7) Dear Councilor(親愛的參議員，或顧問)
8) Dear Agent(親愛的代辦)
9) Dear Director(親愛的廠長或局長；主任；)
5.盡量少引用含有通性詞man; men的引語，如果非引用不可，下列處理辦法可供選擇:
1)不直接引用，把引語進(jìn)行釋義
Sexist： W. Phillips said: "The best use of laws is to teach people to trample bed laws under their feet."
Revised： W. Phillips suggested that the best use of law is to teach people to trample bad ones under their feet.
W•菲利普斯說：“行使法律的辦法是教導(dǎo)人們把不好的法律踩在腳下。"
2)使用(原文如此)讓讀者意識(shí)到原文中的man使用得不大恰當(dāng)。例如:
w. Phillips said： “The best used laws is to teach men to trample bad ones under their feet.”
3)對(duì)上述引語，也可只引用其中的一部分，例如：
W. Phillips said the best use of laws was to teach people "to trample bad laws under their feet”。
我們贊同Rosalie Maggio所講的話：
“It is also necessary to acknowledge that there can be no solution to the problem of sexism in society on the level of language alone. Using the word secretary inclusively, for example, does not change the fact that only 1.6% of American secretaries are men. Using director instead of directress does not mean a woman will necessarily enjoy the same opportunities today a man might.
