独生子女:2020何凯文每日一句第183句

今天的句子:

Such stereotypes about spoiled, lonely and peculiar only children have endured for more than a century, despite a wealth of research showing lone children are usually none of those things and often do better in many areas than children with siblings. But despite one-child families becoming far more common, our fascination with their implied unusualness endures.

思考题:

The discrimination against the only children still persists nowadays.

词汇突破:

1.stereotypes 刻板印象;模式化观念(或形象);老一套;(我们对A有stereotypes就等于说我们对A有discrimination,这是构成同意替换的。)

2.spoiled 被宠坏的

3.peculiar 古怪的

4.lone 独身,独自

5.sibling 兄弟姐妹

6.far more common 更加普遍

7.fascination 着迷,执着的想法

8.unusualness 不同之处

9.endure 存在= persist

10. a wealth of research 大量研究

句:

Such stereotypes about spoiled, lonely and peculiar only children have endured for more than a century, despite a wealth of research showing lone children are usually none of those things and often do better in many areas than children with siblings.

切分:

2.despite a wealth of research showing

3.lone children are usually none of those things

4.and( lone children) often do better in many areas than children with siblings.

参考译文:这种关于独生子女被宠坏的、孤独的和古怪的刻板印象已经持续了一个多世纪,尽管已经有大量的研究表明,独生子女通常不是这样的,而且在许多领域,他们往往比有兄弟姐妹的孩子做得更好

第二句:

But despite one-child families becoming far more common, our fascination with their implied unusualness endures.

参考译文:(而且)尽管独生子女家庭变得越来越普遍,但那些暗示独生子女与众不同的执念却依然存在。

文章背景和来源:

国外总是觉得独生子女(only children 这是固定表达)不利于孩子的成长,独生子女通常会有各种各样的毛病。(这也是西方世界对我们的这样一个独生子女大国感到不解的一个原因。)但是现在已经有大量的研究表明独生子女和其他有兄弟姐妹的孩子是一样的,但是让你们固有的看法还是很难改变。
