1、A Woman Can Learn Anything a Man Can男人会的，女人也能学会 When I was a kid, everything in my bedroom was pink. I have two sisters and we had a complete miniature kitchen, a herd of My Little Ponies and several Barbie and Ken dolls. We didn’t have any toy trucks, G. I. Joes o
2、r basketballs. We did have a Wiffle-ball set, but you would have been hard-pressed to find it in our playroom. Tomboys we weren’t. 当我还是个小孩时，我卧室里的所有东西都是粉红色的。我有两个姐姐，我们有一个一应俱全的微型厨房、一群小矮种马和一些芭比娃娃、肯娃娃。我们没有玩具卡车、玩具大兵、篮球。我们确实有一套空心棒球，但是很难在我们的游戏室中找到。毕竟我们不是假小子。 So some peopl

6、为一辆混合电动汽车——正是这样我学会了修车。我很骄傲我门门功课都是A，包括多元微积分和微分方程。我的数学和设计一向很好，虽然我不明白这会给我带来什么结果。家里人期盼我去上大学，但没有人告诉过我我将来会成为一名优秀的工程师。 When I was in high school, I didn’t know the first thing about engineering. I couldn’t have distinguished a transmission from an alternator. The car I drove
7、needed some work but I was afraid to take it to the mechanic. Because honestly, the mechanic could have shown me an electric can opener and said, “This is part of your car and it’s broken — pay me to fix it,” and I wouldn’t have known any better. 在我还在上高中时，我对工程一窍不通。我根本分辨不出
