aI am totally fed up with my boss. He has crossed the line one too many times with his sexist comments. This time I am really going to report him for sexual harassment.
我烦透了我的老板.他多次使用性别歧视的语言,这次我真的要举报他的性骚扰行为.
bWhat happened? Did your boss say something to offend you at work?
发生什么事了?你老板在工作中说什么冒犯你的话了?
aHe constantly lets inappropriate things slip out, referring to the women employees as girls or calling us sweetheart or darling. I doubt any of my male colleagues would stand for such treatment.
bDon’t you think you are overreacting a little? Calling you by nicknames shouldn’t be so bad…
你不认为你的反应有点儿过激吗?叫你们昵称不至于那么严重吧…
aYou’re missing the point. It’s about respect. He treats us with such a patronizing attitude, as if we are not equal or not as serious as our male co-workers. It’s his attitude that needs to be changed, not just his words.
bThat’s what you get for working in a male-dominated field. I think you’ll find that most male bosses in your industry are already conditioned to treat females in this way. You probably won’t be able to change him.
