::每日一图:: 

So close and so unreachable, a luxury high-rise in Mumbai stands aloof from a decaying housing complex occupied by Untouchables. ... Almost the only way an Untouchable can rise in Indian society is to land a government job or university scholarship, available to a few under a federal quota system.

如此的接近而又如此的遥不可及，孟买的一幢豪华大厦冷冷地避开“贱民们”占据地破败的居住区……对于印度的“贱民”来说，爬出这个阶层的唯一方法只有获得一个政府部门工作，或者获取大学奖学金；由于政府的配额限制，这样的机会也只有少数人能得到。

Agreeing and disagreeing赞成与反对

Linda and Jack talk about the Women's Liberation Movement.

W: What do you think about the Women's Liberation Movement?
M: I'm not in favor of it[1]. I think women should accept their traditional role of being housewives.
W: I really disagree with you. Women should enjoy the same rights as men. Why can't a woman have her own career?
M: Women and men have different advantages. Women are generally tender and considerate, so are suitable for caring for[2] kids and so on. But because they're oftentimes too emotional, they're not likely to be as successful in the professional world[3].
W: Those are stereotypes[4]. There are many cases that prove that women are just as competent[5] in fields of law, management and so on.
M: There are some, but not many.
W: That's because there are still too many prejudiced[6] men. And too few women have woken up to their rights[7]. That's where the Women's Liberation Movement comes into play[8].


林达和杰克谈论妇女解放运动。

W: 你如何看待妇女解放运动？
M: 我不赞成。我认为妇女应当接受她们传统的角色，做家庭妇女。
W: 我很不同意你的看法。女性应当和男性享有同样的权利。为什么一个女人不能有她自己的事业呢？
M: 女人和男人有各自不同的优势。女性通常温柔体贴，所以适合照顾孩子等等。但是因为她们常常感情用事，她们不太可能在职场上取得同样的成功。
W: 这些都是老一套了。有很多例子可以证明女性在法律、管理等领域里和男性一样有能力。
M: 有一些，但不多。
W: 那是因为现在仍然有很多持有偏见的男人，而且太少的女人意识到她们（拥有的）权利。那就是为什么会产生妇女运动。

I'll Be There For You

Rembrandts

So, no one told you life was going to be this way
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your live life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. But

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you like I've been there before
I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast, so far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees that

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you like I've been there before
I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through the rest with,
someone I'll always laugh with. Even at my worst, I'm best with you. Yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Well, it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year. But

I'll be there for you when the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you like I've been there before
I'll be there for you 'cause you're there for me too (Repeat)
