血液流盡If I said that being black is a greater handicap than being a woman, probably no one would question me.
为什么呢？因为―众所周知‖，美国存在着对黑人的歧视。
Why? Because ―we all know‖ there is prejudice against black people in America.
说美国存在着对妇女的歧视对于几乎所有男人——还有大多数女人来说——却是不可思议的。
That there is prejudice against women is an idea that still strikes nearly all men – and, I am afraid, most women – as bizarre.
许多年以来，多数人看不到社会存在着对黑人的歧视。
Prejudice against blacks was invisible to most white Americans for many years.
当黑人终于通过静坐示威、联合抵制和自由乘车游行的方式以示抗议，来提及这个问题时，他们觉得简直难以置信。
When blacks finally started to ―mention‖ it, with sit-ins, boycotts, and freedom rides, Americans were incredulous.
―谁，我们？‖他们委屈地问道。
―Who, us?‖ they asked in injured tones.
―我们歧视黑人？‖对美国白人来说，这是漫长而痛苦的再教育的开始。
―We‘re prejudiced?‖ It was the start of a long, painful reeducation for white America.
他们，包括那些自认为是自由主义者的白人——还需要许多年才能发现并消除他们实际上都持有的种族主义态度。
It will take years for whites – including those who think of themselves as liberals – to discover and eliminate the racist attitudes they all actually have.
消除对妇女的歧视的困难有多大？我确信这将会是一场更持久的斗争。
How much harder will it be to eliminate the prejudice against women? I am sure it will be a longer struggle.
部分问题在于比起黑人来美国妇女被洗脑的程度更深，且更满足于她们次等公民的角色。 Part of the problem is that women in America are much more brainwashed and content with their roles as second – class citizens than blacks ever were.
我来解释一下。
