我是上海燎原國際高中G10-2班學生鄭安琪，今天我的英語演講為："Emma Watson"談性別平等。

I don’t think this is an easy topic to talk about, but still, I chose it, because I'm really concerned about it, and I want to let more people join in helping this phenomenon.

提起性別不平等，我不認為這是一個容易談論的話題，但我依然選擇了它，因為我很關心這個話題，我想讓更多的人關注這一現象。

Okay, here's something evident to me, it's not a nice thing but it happens to everybody. We are treated unfairly due to the stereotypes on our gender. It is easier to understand if I list some examples in real life. I myself experienced gender inequality. When I was in my primary school, I have always taken an active part in lots of activities, I want to seize every opportunity I could get, and now, I do the same things. A fact is that from then to today, a lot of people say I'm too aggressive as a girl. They subconsciously put labels on me, saying I may have bad temper and I'm not quiet enough.

好的，有一件事對我來說很明顯，它不是一件好事，但它發生在每個人身上。由于人們對于性別的偏見，我們受到了不公平的待遇。如果我列舉一些在現實生活中的例子應該會更容易理解。我自己也經歷過性別不平等。當我在小學的時候，我總是積極參加許多活動，我想抓住每一個我可以得到的機遇，現在，我也會做同樣的事情。一個事實是，從那時到今天，很多人說我作為一個女性太過于激進，他們潛意識地在我身上貼上標簽，說我可能有壞脾氣，我不夠安靜。

That is a very strange way of thinking, why is my initiative, anyway, related to my gender? And people give these comments all the time. Yep, they want me to be more silent and submissive, but I'm not gonna compromise. I've worked with many boys, and some of them were always trying to cover my voice with theirs. They were trying to make me talk less. I have valuable opinions just as the way they do, and I consider their behavior very disrespectful.

這是一個很奇怪的思維方式，為什么我的積極態度會與我的性別掛鉤?然而人們一直都在給出這些評論。是的，他們想讓我更沉默和順從，而我不會妥協。我和許多男孩合作過，他們中的一些人總是試圖用他們的聲音來掩蓋我的聲音。他們試圖讓我少說話。就像他們一樣，我有有價值的意見，我認為他們的行為很不尊重人。

In addition, I have a male friend who is very sensitive, and he's interested in knitting stuff, and he likes to write poems. He is a very nice and passionate person. However, since he doesn't participate much in sports, people say he has lost his manhood. Why? Why is his personal interests and characteristics related to his gender? He is a boy, but that doesn't mean he has to like sports and exercise for muscles. It's good that he likes Literature and Arts. However, people make fun of him all the time. Why are males not allowed to show their sensitive side and express emotions freely? Do they have to be all masculine and dominant? No, those are all stereotypes which make us feel stressed.

此外，我有一個男性朋友，他很敏感，對編織很感興趣，還喜歡寫詩。他熱情而友好，但他不經常參加運動，人們都說他失去了男子氣概。為什么?為什么他的個人興趣和特點與他的性別有關?他是一個男孩，但這并不意味著他必須喜歡運動和鍛煉肌肉。他可以喜歡文學和藝術。然而，人們一直取笑他。為什么男生不被允許顯示他們的敏感的一面，并自由表達情緒?他們必須是非常強壯并主導一切嗎?不，以上都是讓我們感到有壓力的性別偏見。

Gender EqualityEssentially, gender inequality's development is based on people's stereotypes, they are something that could and should be changed. Therefore, we should be aware of the gender inequality issues around us, be brave to speak aloud and strive for making changes happen.

從本質上說，性別不平等的發展基于人們的性別偏見，它們是可以并且應該被改變的東西。因此，我們應該意識到我們周圍的性別不平等問題，用響亮的聲音表達我們的意見，并努力使之改變!
