GRE阅读题目解析:美军志愿兵制

  P1

  1

  The recent change to all-volunteer armed forces in the United States will eventually produce a gradual increase in the proportion of women in the armed forces and in the variety of women‘s assignments, but probably not the dramatic gains for women that might have been expected.

  最近美军改为完全的志愿兵制,这将使女性在军中的比例和服役任务类型逐渐上升,但可能不会发生如女性预期的那种暴涨。

  (gain 此处作增长,增加量)

  2

  This is so even though the armed forces operate in an ethos of institutional change oriented toward occupational equality and under the federal sanction of equal pay for equal work.

  即使军队体制已经转而奉行一种职业公平原则,且联邦政府也勒令军队必须同工同酬,仍然不能改变这种趋势。

  (稍微解释一下,看到 even though 说明作者把后面的内容,作为一种让步条件,职业公平,同工同酬,这些都是对女性从军不利的因素,因为传统观点认为男性比女性在作战中有很大优势,如果同样付一笔钱,显然男性获得该职位的机会更大。

  此处作者认为,即使考虑到这种不利因素,女性在军中的增长趋势也不会改变。)

  3

  The difficulty is that women are unlikely to be trained for any direct combat operations; a significant portion of the larger society remains uncomfortable as yet with extending equality in this direction.

  困难在于,女性不可能接受任何直接交火行动的训练;截至到目前,社会公众大多仍坚持,无法接受在该领域扩大平权。

  (the larger society 说说个人的理解,我觉得这个比较级,比较的对象是 women,女性,比女性群体 larger,又加了定冠词,应该是 men and women,即全社会)

  4

  Therefore, for women in the military, the search for equality will still be based on functional equivalence, not identity or even similarity of task. (132 words)

  因此,军队中的女性要寻求平等,仍然只能局限于服役权,而非身份对等或任务对等。

  For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply

  1. The passage implies that which of the following is a factor conducive to a more equitable representation of women in the United States armed forces than has existed in the past?

  (A) The all-volunteer character of the present armed forces

  (B) The past service records of women who had assignments functionally equivalent to men‘s assignments

  (C) Restrictive past policies governing the military assignments open to women

  选 A

  问的比较绕,让我们选作者认为的,导致了目前女性地位变得更平等的因素。

  A 句 1 交代的非常清楚:

  The recent change to all-volunteer armed forces in the United States will eventually produce a gradual increase in the proportion …

  B 无关项。女性以前承担任务的记录,无助于扩大女性承担任务的范围。女性还是不能参与直接交火的战斗,也许仍然只是巡逻任务等。

  C 干扰项。文章中的确提到了 federal sanction,但不是强制军队必须接收女性应征,而是强制军队同工同酬。
