2010年真题阅读理解Text2第四段、第五段

①In my own research, complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his, or doing far more than their share of daily life - support work like cleaning, cooking and social arrangements. ②Instead, they focused on communication: “He doesn’t listen to me.”“He doesn’t talk to me.”③I found, as Hacker observed years before, that most wives want their husband to be, first and foremost, conversational partners, but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.

④In short, the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman glares at the back of it, wanting to talk.

句子切分：

第一句：

1. In my own research,

2. complaints (from women about their husbands) most often focused not on tangible inequities

3. such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his,

4. or doing far more than their share of daily life

5. - support work like cleaning, cooking and social arrangements.

参考翻译：在我个人的研究当中，女性对丈夫的抱怨大部分不集中在一些具体可见的不平等事情上，比如为了陪伴丈夫而放弃自己的就业机会，或者做了太多的日常生活的工作比如清洁、做饭和社交安排。

第二句：

1. Instead, （该词在这里表示与前面一种情况相对比，而非替代的意思）

2. they focused on communication:

3. “He doesn’t listen to me.”

4. “He doesn’t talk to me.”

参考翻译：相反，她们的怨言集中在沟通交流上，她们会说“他不听我说话。”或者“他不跟我讲话。”

第三句：

1. as Hacker observed years before,

2. I found that most wives want their husband to be, first and foremost, conversational partners,

3. but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.

参考翻译：正如多年前Hacker观察到的那样，我发现，大多数妻子都希望自己的丈夫首先是一个交谈伙伴，但很少有丈夫有同样的期望。

第四句：

1. In short,

2. the image is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face,

3. the image that best represents the current crisis

4. while a woman glares at the back of it, wanting to talk.

参考翻译：简而言之，最能表现当代婚姻危机的是一幅老套的漫画是：一个男人坐在早餐桌前，面前举着一份报纸，而一个女人在背后生气的盯着他，渴望与他说话。
