Pygmalion,Unit 4,(2013福建) Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austens most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on. Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Heres my own suggestion.,It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism. “My dear husband,” said his hopeful wife one day, “have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?” Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. “But it is, it is,” she replied excitedly. Mr DullHusband made no reply.,“Dont you want to know her plans?” she cried with some impatience. “Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. so Id better listen.” “Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though_how_a_woman_can_know_anything_about_that_is_beyond_me. She will move in herself next month.” “What is her name?” “Bingley.”,“Is she married or single?” “What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys.” “How so? How can it possibly affect them?” “My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going.” “Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place.”,“Nonsense, my love, how little youve noticed the world has changed. Shes got a firstrate degree and some sort of business qualification, Im told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call.” “Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job.” “Oh, thats not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think Ill go along all the same.”,And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSElisted company. . It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board, that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues, her bonus of a more “female” dimension and her lifespan (年限) among the citys business leaders shorter than theirs. Still, shed no doubt have enjoyed Davosand might even have hobnobbed (攀谈) with influential figures.,文章大意:奥斯汀作品傲慢与偏见中明显的体现了对于女性性别的歧视,时至今天,性别歧视仍然存在。 1Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
