Gender Differences Task 1: Do you know that? Task 2: A poem Task 3: Wives and bread winners Task 4: Man and woman Gender difference is a term used to refer to social characteristic that distinguish men and women. These include such things as differences in hair styles, clothing, family responsibilities, occupational roles, acceptable behavior and other culturally learned activities and traits. All of these differences are linked to the non-biological notions of masculinity and femininity which vary from one culture to another. 作形容词时，female表示“女的”、“女性的”、“雌的”之意，着重指性别而言，经常与之搭配的词有：***，child，friend，companion，heir，ruler，servant，ward，voice，figure，suffrage，education，animal，plant等，其对语是male。例： Yesterday we received a lot of guests，male and female，in Victoria Peak Garden． 昨日我们在山顶公园接待了很多来宾，有男的也有女的。 His younger sister，it is said，a female operative． 据说，他的妹妹是个女工。 A doe is female deer． 牝鹿就是雌鹿。 Feminine着重指“有女性气质的”之意，经常与之搭配的词有nature，sympathy，weakness，virtue，frivolity，curiosity，voice，pursuits，hobbies，clothes等其对语是masculine．例： She has got all the feminine virtues． 她具有全部女性的长处。 This gentleman has got a feminine voice． 这位男士说话的声音像女子。 注：female education和feminine education的涵义并不相同，前者是“女子教育”，后者是“适合于妇女的教育”。female voice和feminine voice的内涵亦不相同，前者是“女声”，说话的人肯定是女子，后者是“女性般的声音”，说话人有可能是男子。 female和feminine也可以用作名词，作名词时，前者义“女性”或“妇女”，如：A female has just called．（一个女人刚来访过）。但因有贬低的意味，一般不用a female来指女人而用a lady（一位女士）。feminine则作“阴性”解，例如在英语语法书里，the feminine的意思是“阴性”，它等于the feminine gender． 写作实践 例文: Gender Inequality in Employment of College Graduates 相关链接 Para 1 Feature of language P_______ Easily m________ and M_______ Reason: complicated ________\ n______________ special l_________ G_________ ?1__________________ ?2_________________ Para 2 Words 1. o________ 2. man woman exalted position sub________ D________ Supre __________ H__________ man of the house, definite d__________ Para 3 America Words pairs Par
