4．在世界許多地方，重男輕女的現(xiàn)象令許多女性在教育、就業(yè)方面處于劣勢．（phenomenon）4．In many parts of the world，the phenomenon of valuing sons over daughters has put many women at a disadvantage in education and employment．．

Answer 1

分析 "重男輕女的現(xiàn)象"可翻譯為："the phenomenon of valuing sons over daughters"，使某人在…方面處于劣勢：put sb at a disadvantage in sth．

解答 答案：In many parts of the world，the phenomenon of valuing sons over daughters has put many women at a disadvantage in education and employment．本句中的主語是"重男輕女的現(xiàn)象"，這一現(xiàn)象所帶來的影響是一直存在的，所以用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)，主語是the phenomenon，完成時態(tài)的助動詞應(yīng)該用has．

點評 在翻譯此句時，要注意一些固定短語，同時分析好句中的成分，另外要理解句子所用時態(tài)．
