10、ou: you must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or could be.（分数：2.00）_35.汉译英_36.由于古往今来世界上大多数人的婚姻是以完全不同的原则为基础的，所以，好的婚姻需要平等这种说法是没有什么意义的。从美国奇高的离婚率，也可以得出这样的结论：在婚姻中期待彼此尊重、夫妻和谐已不大容易，指望获得两性平等、实现自我更是难上加难。 或许问题并不在于平等不平等，而在于仅仅最近数十年来所发生的文化巨变，使人们不可避免地对婚姻产生矛盾的态度。在今天的许多婚姻中，男人仍在某种程度上占据主导地位，
11、妇女不得不屈于遵从。从传统上看，这些婚姻总是在强势的一方对依附的一方产生厌烦情绪时宣告结束。哈莉特?纽曼?科恩二十年前开始从事婚姻方面的法律工作时，她的当事人大多是由于挣钱养家的丈夫离开而被抛弃的妇女。而现在科恩和其他人都注意到，往往是弱势的一方不甘于其不再被文化认可的角色而提出结束婚姻。而且，自从 80年代通过了财产公平分割法，迫使收人高的配偶与对方平分财产，离婚就再也不遭受任何经济上的损失了。 如今，提出离婚的人当中，女子和男子人数基本相当。而且，不忠行为也不再仅仅限于男人。一位离了婚的投资银行家发现，在他的男性朋友圈子里，不忠的是妻子，而不是他的这些朋友。他说：“在我们的公司文化中，有外

24、u as well as of the media. Fame turns all the lights on and while it gives power and prestige, it takes the you out of you: you must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or could be.（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： 声誉很像一只追逐自己尾巴的动物，当它抓住了自己的尾巴后，除了继续追逐不知做什么。声誉与伴随其而来的令人兴奋的知名度使名人走向自我毁灭。这很具有讽刺意
25、味，不是吗? 那些声名鹊起之人多是由于有一技之长：唱歌、跳舞、绘画或写作等。一个成功的表演者发展了一种雄踞市场的风格因而受到欢迎。正是由于这种受欢迎程度才使得他继续保持这种风格，因为这种风格是大众需要和喜爱的。可随着时间流逝，歌手为年复一年地以同样的方式唱同样的歌而感到心烦，画家为画类似的风景人物而感到厌倦，演员为反复演同样的角色而疲惫不堪。公众的需求令艺术家们不得不受制于自己获得的成功和名气。若他们企图改变自己的笔调、舞步、唱腔，听众或观众便会舍他而去，把稍纵即逝的名誉转移给别人，随后又转移给另一人，如此不停地转下去。 那么，人们为什么要追求声誉呢?你追求声誉吗?你希望许多人都知道你、赞赏你
26、吗?你想要得到伴随声誉而来的金钱吗?你想要媒体注意你在公开或私下场合的一言一行吗?你想让他们追逐着你，向你提问，想办法毁掉你吗?非常明显，你要出名就得成为反对你的每个人以及媒体的目标。声誉把一切灯光打亮，一边给你权力和威望，另一边也把“你”赶出你的自身之外：你必须成为大众心目中的你，而不是那个真实的你或者可能成为的你。)解析：35.汉译英_解析：36.由于古往今来世界上大多数人的婚姻是以完全不同的原则为基础的，所以，好的婚姻需要平等这种说法是没有什么意义的。从美国奇高的离婚率，也可以得出这样的结论：在婚姻中期待彼此尊重、夫妻和谐已不大容易，指望获得两性平等、实现自我更是难上加难。 或许问题并不

You might even conclude from Americas unusually high divorce rate that the expectation of equality and personal fulfillment is itself a more problematic prescription than that of honor and obedienc
