360967131@ 357616505@ pengxuhao@ There have always been differences in the types of work men and women have done. However, the trend in modern times has been for both men and women to have greater freedom of choice in terms of employment. Some people might say that there is no need to go further. However, in my view, wherever possible, gender equality should be encouraged. 男女历来所做的工作都存在差异。然而，现在 男女都有了更多选择 的自由，一些人可能说 没有必要太较真儿。然而，在我看来，只要有可能的地方，性别平等应该被鼓励。 确实，可能有很多观点允许某些岗位保持男性或女性为主导。 在那些纯男人或纯女人的人群存在的地方，相关岗位可能需要分别是男人或女人。比如只有女病患的病房可能会比较感激女看护来照顾。同样值得争辩的是某一些需要大量体力的工作，比如：挖煤，伐木等 应该继续主要由男人做。 There may indeed be good arguments for allowing certain posts to remain predominantly male or female. Where all-male or all-female groups exist, there may be a need for related posts to be held by men and women respectively. Patients in all-female hospital wards, for example,would probably appreciate having female nurses to look after them. It could also be argued that certain jobs requiring a great deal of physical strength, coal mining or logging, for example, should continue to be done mainly by men. 然而， 在绝大多数情况下， 让岗位对双性别开放有不同的优势。 男人和女人可以带来轻微不同的观点和思路。比如 女警员 可能会更好的理解家庭暴力和更好的方法去解决这些问题。男性的小学老师会更能理解小男孩们的需求并且能更好的做他们的楷模。 However, in the cast majority of situations, making occupations more open to both genders has distinct advantages. Men and women can bring slightly different perspectives and approaches to a job. Female police officers, for example, may have a greater understanding of domestic violence and a better range of strategies for dealing with this problem. Male primary school teachers probably have a better understanding of the needs of young boys and can serve as good role models for them. The changes that result from allowing men into female-dominated occupations and vice versa may be subtle, but they are far-reaching. However, to benefit the most from this development, it is important not to expect males and females to approach work in identical ways. 由于允许男人进入女性为主导的岗位所带来的变化和
