主題：浮世繪

Theme：Ukiyo-e

浮世繪是17—19世紀流行于日本的風俗畫，主要以木版畫的形式存在。浮世繪的性質(zhì)如同當今的海報或雜志，木版畫的批量印制既可以降低生產(chǎn)成本，也可以滿足新型市民階層的文化和娛樂需求。

Ukiyo-eis a genre of painting popular in Japan from the 17th to 19th century. Mainly in the form of wood prints, the nature of Ukiyo-e is similar to today"s posters or magazines, and the mass printing of woodblocks can not only reduce production costs, but also meet the cultural and entertainment needs of all classes of citizens.

浮世繪的題材極其廣泛，有社會時事、民間傳說、歷史掌故、戲曲場景和古典名著插圖，有些畫家還專事描繪婦女生活，記錄戰(zhàn)爭事件或抒寫山川景物……可以說，浮世繪是江戶時代人民生活的百科全書。

Ukiyo-e covers a wide range of subjects, including social events, folklore, historical stories, opera scenes, and illustrations from classical works. Some artists also depict women"s lives, record war events, or depict scenes from mountains and rivers. It can be said that Ukiyo-e is the encyclopedia of life in the Edo period.

主題：保護與霸凌

Theme: Protection and bullying

今年，美國最高法院推翻了“羅訴韋德案”的裁決。自此，每個州都擁有決定墮胎法的權(quán)力，這將意味著數(shù)百萬女性的墮胎權(quán)被剝奪。這到底是對女性的保護，還是對女性的的霸凌，這是一個問題！

In students sharing session, we consider "Protection and bullying".This year, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since then, every state has had the power to decide abortion laws, which would mean millions of women would be denied the right to an abortion. It is a question of protecting women or bullying them!

聯(lián)合國新聞報道直接稱“美國對于墮胎權(quán)的裁決是對女性人權(quán)和性別平等的巨大打擊”，“禁止墮胎只會使墮胎變得更加致命”。超過半數(shù)的美國人認為，這是一種可恥的行為！大部分人都認為墮胎權(quán)屬于女性，沒有其他人能替她們做出決定，禁止墮胎的法律會危害女性健康并且加深社會的不平等。

On this matter, everyone is very angry. The UN news report directly said that "the US ruling on abortion rights is a huge blow to women"s human rights and gender equality" and that "banning abortion will only make abortion more deadly". More than half of Americans said it was a shameful act. Most people believe that abortion rights belong to women, that no one else can make decisions for them, and that laws against abortion harm women"s health and deepen social inequality.

女權(quán)主義起源于西方國家的女性為提高女性社會地位而發(fā)起的抗議。

Feminism originated from protests by womenin Western countries to improve the status of women in society.

當女權(quán)主義者編寫了《我們的身體，我們自己》一書來論述墮胎權(quán)對女性的意義，要求女性獲得對身體的自主權(quán)時，反對的聲音認為墮胎就是謀殺新生命，墮胎是逃避女性的生育責任。

When feminists wrote the book "Our Bodies, Ourselves" to discuss the meaning of abortion rights to women and demand women to acquire autonomy over their bodies, the opposing voices believed that abortion is murder of new life and abortion is to evade women"s reproductive responsibility.

“羅訴韋德案”標志著女權(quán)主義者在墮胎權(quán)運動中的成功。但是此判決一出，人們關(guān)于墮胎權(quán)的矛盾激化， 人們?yōu)椤斑x擇權(quán)”和“生命權(quán)”開展了激烈的爭論。許多人認為從懷孕那一刻起墮胎就是殺人”。讓人覺得可笑的是投票員全是男性，一群男人在爭論女人是否擁有自主選擇的權(quán)利。判決的結(jié)果可能導致很多女性需要用一生去承擔，面對這樣的代價，女性完全需要有選擇的權(quán)利。我們不得不承認，在當今社會環(huán)境下，男女平等似乎一直是一個遙遠的目標，投票者全部是男性只是一個社會的縮影，我們看到的那些對社會擁有重大影響的組織或團體，大部分組成者都是男性，這使得很多女性從一開始就失去了選擇的權(quán)利，很多女性在社會環(huán)境下沒有獲得尊重。

Roe v. Wade marked the success of feminists in the abortion rights movement. But with the decision, the conflict over abortion rights has intensified, with heated debates between"right to choose" and "right to life". Many people believe that abortion from the moment of conception is murder. It"s funny that the voting was all male, a group of men arguing about whether women should have the right to make their own choices. The verdict may result in many women having to suffer for the rest of their lives. Faced with this cost, women absolutely need to have the right to choose.We have to admit that, in today"s society, equality between men and women seems to be a distant goal. Male voters are just a microcosm of society. We see that the society has a major impact on organizations or groups, and most of those making decisions are men. This results in a lot of women losing the right to choose right from the start, and many women are not respected in the social environment.

我們需要打破傳統(tǒng)觀念，當代女性早已不需要完全依靠男性生活，她們擁有的知識和技能足以支持她們通過工作養(yǎng)活自己。在社會上，我們不應該對女性存在偏見，不能因為男性和女性擅長的工作領(lǐng)域不同就歧視別人。在家庭里，照顧家庭和孩子從來不是一個人的事情，妻子和丈夫都需要履行自己的責任。我們需要給予女性更多的支持和尊重。

We need to break the conventional wisdom that modern women no longer need to live entirely off men, and that they have the knowledge and skills to support themselves through work.As a society, we should not have prejudice against women. We should not discriminate against others just because men and women are good at different fields of work.In the family, taking care of the family and children is never a matter of one person, and both the wife and husband need to fulfill their own responsibilities.We need to give women more support and respect.
