血液流盡Mr. Farmer still doesn‘t quite know what hit him.
当一位聪明的年轻女大学生开始找工作时，为什么第一个问题总是―你会打字吗？‖
When a bright young woman graduate starts looking for a job, why is the first question always: ―Can you type?‖
在这个问题背后是一整部妇女受歧视的历史。
A history of prejudice lies behind that question.
为什么被看成是秘书而不是管理者？为什么被看成是图书管理员和教师而不是律师？
Why are women thought of as secretaries, not administrators?Librarians and teachers, but not doctors and lawyers?
因为她们被认为是不一样的，低人一等的。
Because they are thought of as different and inferior.
快乐的家庭主妇和心满意足的黑鬼都是由歧视产生的典型人物。
The happy homemaker and the contented darky are both stereotypes produced by prejudice. 妇女甚至还没有达到黑人所达到的象征性的平等水平。
Women have not even reached the level of tokenism that blacks are reaching.
最高法院中没有妇女，只有两名妇女曾担任内阁的职位，但现在一个也没有。
No women sit on the Supreme Court. Only two have held Cabinet rank, and none do at present. 只有两位妇女担任大使。
Only two women hold ambassadorial rank.
妇女主要从事工资低、伺候人、没有前途的工作。即使她们获得较好的职位，他们的工资也总是比同样工作的男人低。
But women predominate in the lower-paying, menial, unrewarding, dead-end jobs, and when they do reach better positions, they are invariably paid less than a man for the same job.
这不是歧视又是什么？
If that is not prejudice, what would you call it?
几年前，我与一位政治领袖谈论有关一个有前途的青年妇女做候选人的事。
A few years ago, I was talking with a political leader about a promising young woman as a candidate.
―为什么要花费时间和精力去树立这个女孩的威信？‖他问道，―你很清楚她只会在我们打算让她竞选市长时退出竞选去而生孩子。‖
―Why invest time and effort to build the girl up?‖ he asked me. ―You know she‘ll only drop out of the game to have a couple of kids just about the time we‘re ready to run her for mayor.‖ 对于我，许多人说了类似的话。
Plenty of people have said similar things about me.
每次当我试图向上迈一步时，许多人劝我回去教书，说那才是妇女的职业，把政治留给男人。 Plenty of others have advised me, every time, I tried to take another upward step, that I should go back to teaching, a woman‘s vocation and leave politics to the men.
我热爱教书，只要我确信这个国家再也不需要女人作贡献时，我就会去教书。
I love teaching, and I am ready to go back to it as soon as I am convinced that this country no longer needs a women‘s contribution.
当在这个富足的国家里，当没有孩子饿着肚子上床睡觉时，我可能会回去教书。
When there are no children going to bed hungry in this rich nation, I may be ready to go back to
