第四十课 被动语态，美国妇女运动
一.本课要点及示例
在这一课里, 我们要复习被动语态; 我们也要谈一谈美国的妇女运动, 学一学 有关妇女运动的词汇.
现在我们按照惯例先听今天这一课的对话, 内容是说亨利跟小女儿琳达谈起了 妇女就业的问题. 请你注意听两位英文老师的发音和语调.
F: Dad, did Grandma go to the university when she was young?
M: No, she wasn't encouraged to do that.
F: Why not?
M: Well, at that time it was considered improper for a woman to have a higher education.
Grandma got married when she was eighteen and she spent all her life taking care of her husband and the kids.
F: You mean she never had a job?
M: No, women were told that they could not have a family and a career at the same time.
F: Mother could. She has a family and she is also a teacher. Isn't that a career?
M: Yes. Time has changed. Nowadays women are permitted to do things that they were not allowed to do before.
下面老师用慢速度再把整段对话念一遍给你听.
