Discrimination in wages paid in occupations that are predominantly male over the predominantly female have given rise to substantial differentials between the wage of housepainters and secretaries and between the wages of parking-lot attendants and library assistants.
(A) paid in occupations that are predominantly male over the predominantly female have
(B) paid in occupations that are predominantly make over those that are predominantly female have
(C) that favors predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female have
(D) that favors predominantly male occupations over those that are predominantly female has(E)
(E) paid in predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female has
这道题久经讨论,无疑是在d和 e之间徘徊。再开一贴是因为我觉得这两个选项在句意上是有着巨大的差别的
d)Discrimination in wages that favors predominantly male occupations over those that are predominantly female
e)Discrimination in wages paid in predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female
Q1) d是discrimination favors m occupation over f occupation. e是wages paid in m occupation over famale 那么句意上究竟是那种是对的呢?
Q2) 怎么看都觉得e 长得别扭,这个in 是怎么回事,为什么只有一个而在predominantly famale 之前就没有了?
既然选e,如何翻译这句话呢?
打完以上这些话我已经几乎撅倒,请坚持看完的同志救我!
个人观点
认为应该选d
首先,that favors predominantly male occupations over those that are predominantly female has中的favors 表明从句修饰discrimination 而不是wages, 所以在逻辑上合理。
其次,e 中的Discrimination in wages paid in predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female中的俩in 都没有把意思表达出来,而且over the predominantly female不能合理被看成省略了occupations .
翻译如下:
在报酬上以男性为主的工作对以女性为主的工作的优势导致了。。。。。。。。。
