【正确答案】Candidate A
A: In the picture, there are three people. One is a primary school pupil, who covers her ears with the hands. She looks very unhappy. Perhaps she couldn't concentrate on her homework. Sitting behind her is a middle-aged woman. She is knitting a sweater while enjoying the program on TV. From time to time, she turns around her head to make sure that her daughter is not sleeping over her homework. She is very strict with her daughter. Inside the room divided by a curtain, a scholar-looked old man is busy with his work. He wears glasses, hardly has any hair. A pile of materials is on his desk. He works attentively. This scene is very common in China. Three generations are living under one roof.
图片上有3个人。图中的小学生双手捂住耳朵，看上去很不高兴。或许是她无法集中精力做作业。坐在她后面的是一位中年妇女，她一边看电视，一边打毛衣。她不时地转过头来看看女儿是不是做着作业睡着了。她对女儿要求很严格。在用窗帘隔开的屋里面，一位学者模样的老年人正在工作。他带着眼镜，头发稀疏。在他的书桌上堆满了资料。他工作很专心。这是在中国十分常见的一幅情景：3代人共住一起。
B: This is very common in China. As the son or daughter gets married and has their own family, they would like to live with their parents. And it seems that the parents are content to live with them. As people's living standard is improving, dwelling place is not a problem. More and more young couples want to have their own private life. This phenomenon is becoming less and less.
这在中国十分常见。当儿子或女儿结婚成家后，他们仍然愿意和父母住在一起，而父母也似乎很乐意他们回来住。随着人们生活水平的提高，住房已不再是一个问题。越来越多的年轻人希望有自己的私生活。这种现象在逐渐减少。
Candidate B
B: A pregnant woman holds a baby with one hand, and pushes a baby carriage with the other. The twin sisters are lying in it. Followed the woman are eight other girls. They come to see a doctor. The doctor is very surprised with the scene. The woman says to him: "My husband said that he would not give up until we have a son." It reflects the sex discrimination in our society. Influenced by the old society, a large number of people still think that a son is much better than a daughter. So in order to get a son, they broke the law and gave birth to many children till they got one. Males and females are equal. But the traditional concept of female inferiority still exists in some people's minds.
一个孕妇一只手抱着孩子，另一只手推着婴儿车，车上有一对双胞胎姐妹。她身后还跟着8个女孩。他们是来看医生的，医生看到这种场面非常吃惊。孕妇对医生说：“我丈夫说如果不生个儿子，他决不罢休。”这幅图片反映了社会上的性别歧视。受旧社会封建思想的影响，许多人仍然认为生男比生女好。因此为了得儿子，他们触犯法律，生下许多孩子，直到得到一个儿子为止。男孩女孩都一样。但是很多人仍然有男尊女卑的旧思想。
A: That's true, though the picture is exaggerating a little bit. According to the Constitution, men and women are equal. But many people, especially the old still prefer boys to girls. It's not convenient for a family having no man in the countryside. But with the development of our society, the distinction between men and women will die out. If all couples do like the one in the picture, the world will be in danger one day.
虽然图片有一点夸大，但这是事实。宪法规定男女平等。但很多人，尤其是老人更喜欢男孩。在农村，家里没有男人是不方便的。但随着社会的发展，男女之间的差异会渐渐消失。如果所有的夫妻都像图片中的人一样的话，那这个世界将来会很危险。
