　　英语情景对话短文1

　　Todd: So, Buddihini, today we're going to talk about roles and family: traditional roles orwhat people do. Now in Sri Lanka, is it common for usually the women to do all the cooking?

　　托德：布迪希妮，今天我们来谈谈角色和家庭：传统角色和人们的分工。现在在斯里兰卡，通常是女性负责做饭吗?

　　Buddhi: It was so. It was so, but still the mentality is such that they expect the daughters andthe wives to do the kitchen stuff and the cleaning, the laundry and all that, but we do have alot of working mothers now and they are many single parents as well so the culture has beenchanging a little bit, but still the majority is that women should do the usual household stuffand the men do the work outside and get the money. If it's like the cityside, and if the wife isalso working, obviously it's not expected that the wife ends up doing everything.

　　布迪希妮：以前是，以前是这样，不过现在仍有很多人希望由女儿和妻子来负责厨房、打扫和洗衣的工作，不过现在斯里兰卡有很多职业母亲，也有很多单亲家长，所以现在的文化有了一些变化，不过基本上来说，还是女性负责家务，男性在外面工作挣钱养家。在城市里，如果妻子也工作的话，那显然妻子不会负责所有的事情。

　　Todd: So, what happens? Do you split the duties or do you hire a servant?

　　托德：那怎么办?是分担家务还是雇保姆?

　　Buddhi: Yes, hiring some helper is quite common in Sri Lanka. I personally don't agree withthat.

　　布迪希妮：雇保姆在斯里兰卡非常普遍。我个人不同意这种做法。

　　Todd: Oh, really, you don't want to have like a cook or a maid or anything like that?

　　托德：哦，真的吗?你不想雇人做饭，不想雇保姆?

　　Buddhi: It'll be nice to have but I wouldn't want to have. I want to do my things on my own.I think it's easier to do things on your own, and I'd make sure when I get married that Ihave the correct partner who'd want to help me out with things and having kids and all that. Iwouldn't want somebody else to come and help us out.

　　布迪希妮：雇保姆是不错，不过我不想这样做。我想自己来做自己的事情。我觉得自己来做会更容易，我确定我结婚以后，我丈夫会帮我一起分担家务，照顾孩子。我不想让别人来帮我做事。

　　Todd: So, when you get married, you'd like to split the duties with your husband?

　　托德：你结婚后想和丈夫一起分担家务?

　　Buddhi: Of course.

　　布迪希妮：当然了。

　　Todd: So, you expect your husband to cook and clean?

　　托德：你希望你丈夫可以做饭和打扫?

　　Buddhi: At least help me out and make sure that he knows what I'm doing. He values whatI do cause I'm definitely not the kind who'll stay at home and do only the household stuff. I'lldefinitely go out and get the money as well.

　　布迪希妮：至少要帮我做家务，要让他知道我在做什么。他要重视我做的事，因为我绝对不是那种想呆在家里，只做家务的家庭主妇。我肯定也要出去工作挣钱。

　　Todd: So, you want to be the bread winner?

　　托德：你想挣钱养家?

　　Buddhi: I wouldn't say that. We will share. I mean, why he suffer alone, and why I suffer aloneat home. We suffer together.

　　布迪希妮：不能这样说。我们要分担家里的经济负担。为什么要让他一个人挣钱，而我一个人在家里呆着。我们要一同分担。

　　Todd: Now is this a common viewpoint with most young women from your country?

　　托德：现在斯里兰卡大部分年轻女性都持这种观点吗?

　　Buddhi: Yeah, I'd say so. I'd say so, but there are many people who don't like to go out and bea working mom. They'd rather prefer staying at home and you know, waiting for their husbandto come home in the evening or stuff like that, but I'm definitely not that kind.

　　布迪希妮：对，我想是的。不过仍有许多人不喜欢出去工作，不想做职业母亲。他们宁愿呆在家里，等丈夫晚上回家，不过我绝对不是那种。

　　Buddhi: Can you tell me about general roles in America? Is it that women do cooking or themen help out or how is it done?

　　布迪希妮：你能说说美国的性别角色吗?是女性负责做饭，男性帮忙，还是怎样的?

　　Todd: I think it's changed a lot over the years. It's similar to what you said in your country.America's probably maybe one of the leading countries in trying to make it more equal, so yeah,so now it's ... the men are supposed to help cook and clean and stuff. But actually what I findinteresting is that over time I think people still settle into their old habits. I think that youngcouples start off that the husbands gonna cook and he's gonna help clean but as they get oldernaturally it does seem like women revert to more caretaking roles and men kind of get lazy Ithink. You know. Although, I have to say, growing up my step-father was pretty amazing. Hewas really good at cooking and he cooked a lot and he actually used to get home before mymother. She also worked. So he would do the most of the cooking, and he was actually thebetter cook, but my mom's a good cook too.

　　托德：我想这几年情况有了很大的变化。现在美国的性别角色和你们国家的类似。在男女平等这方面，美国应该是领先国家之一，男性会在做饭、打扫等家务上帮忙。不过我发现有意思的是，随着时间流逝，人们会重新拾起旧习惯。在年轻夫妻中，一开始丈夫会做饭，帮忙做打扫工作，但是在他们年老以后，妻子会重新承担起照顾家庭的角色，而男性则会越来越懒。不过，我要说，我的继父非常不可思议。他很会做饭，在家里他做饭的次数更多，而且他回家的时间比我妈妈早。我妈妈也在工作。所以一般是我继父做饭，而且他做的饭很好吃，当然我妈妈做的饭也不错。

　　Buddhi: So looking at him, did you ever want to learn cooking and did you ever think like, "OK,when I grow up I'll always help whoever was around."

　　布迪希妮：那他有没有让你想学做饭，或者你有没有想过：好，我长大以后也要帮忙?

　　Todd: No, it was actually .... I'm quite ashamed. I never did really learn cooking from him ormy mother, so they never really showed me, so even to this day I'm a pretty terrible cook. Sowhat about you? Did your mother show you how to cook?

　　托德：没有，这点让我很羞愧。我从没有跟他或我妈妈学过做饭，他们也没有教过我，所以直到现在我的厨艺仍然很差。那你呢?你妈妈有教你做饭吗?

　　Buddhi: She did, it's just that I didn't learn and my brother ended up learning all the cookingand he's a very good cook right now, and it makes me be very ashamed of myself, but ...

　　布迪希妮：她教了，不过我没有学会，倒是我哥哥学会了做饭，他现在做的一手好菜，这让我感到惭愧，不过……

　　Todd: So wait a minute. Wait a minute. Your mom actually took the time to show you how tocook, and you say you still can't cook?

　　托德：等等，等一下。你妈妈有花时间教你做饭，可是你还是不会做饭?

　　Buddhi: Yes!!!!

　　布迪希妮：对!!!!

　　Todd: Why? What happened?

　　托德：为什么?为什么会这样?

　　Buddhi: I don't know. I don't know. Sri Lankan cooking is so difficult and it takes ... it's reallytime consuming, but I wouldn't want to say that out too loud cause there are some like manygood cooks as well, it's just that I'm not good at it, but .... I mean, I'm not that that bad. It'sjust that my food don't turn out to be as good as my mom's.

　　布迪希妮：我也不知道，我也不清楚原因。斯里兰卡菜很难做，而且做起来要花很多时间，不过我不想以此做借口，斯里兰卡也有很多人做饭很好，只是我不太擅长做饭，不过我做的也不是太差。只是我做的菜没有我妈妈做的好吃。

　　Todd: Right.

　　托德：好。
