Unit 1 无名英雄:职业父亲意味着什么?在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时,我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具总动员》的电影。
我们很喜欢这部片子,但随后我丈夫问道:“父亲在哪儿呢?”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。
可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。
父亲不仅没有出现,他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿,说明他不可能离开太长时间。
影片给人的感觉是,父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节,甚至不需要做任何解释。
新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化,这只是一个例子,它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。
大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。
职业母亲(我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的)奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。
与此同时,媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。
看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候(我怀疑这一说法的可靠性,因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事),或者是在他们去世的时候。
当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时,许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。
这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。
我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持,我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准:家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬,而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲,所得到文化上的认同却很少,甚至完全得不到。
我们用来讨论父亲角色(即没出息的父亲)的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。

我们用来讨论父亲角色(即没出息的父亲)的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。
我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法,在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时,很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子,同样也适应于男子。
我们这个社会表现出似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不象对母亲那么重要——似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。

在所有从文理学院毕业并获得学士学位的人中,有六分之一的人主修英语。
让人惊异的是,这些毕业生能胜任范围相当广泛的工作。
他们的经验表明,这种广泛流行的偏见是错误的:即英语专业的学生只能从事新闻或教学工作。
事实上,主修英语的学生也为未来从事法律、医学、商业和公职等职业做了相当好的准备。
有人时常劝告期望上法学院或医学院的大学生要学习与他们的择业有直接联系的严格制定的课程。
有人还建议未来法学院的学生应该选修政治、历史、会计、商业管理甚至人体解剖学、婚姻和家庭生活等课程。
未来医学院的学生被引导去学习多种理科课程,实际上,这些课程比他们考入医学院所需要的理科课程要多得多。
令人惊讶的是,许多法学院和医学院却指出,如此专门化的准备不但没有必要,而且并不可取。
没有什么“法律预科”课程:上法学院和从事法律行业的最好准备是培养学生能够进行批判性思考;能够进行清晰的合乎逻辑的自我表述;能够对他人的动机、行动和想法进行敏锐的分析。
这些技能也正是英语专业要教给学生掌握的技能。
此外,要进入法学院就读,通常需要具有合格院校颁发的学士学位,还需要拿到最低限度的各课平均积分点,并和在法学院录取考试(L.S.A.T.)中取得一个通得过的分数。
这项测试包括三个部分:首先是测试阅读理解、图形分类和书面材料评估等能力。
测试的第二个部分是考核对英语语法和词汇用法的掌握能力,组织书面材料的能力和文字编辑的能力。
第三个部分是检测学生的文学、艺术、音乐、自然科学和社会科学的一般知识。
显而易见,主修英语的学生参加法学院录取考试会得心应手。
至于医学院,入学要求主要的一条只是修满32个学时的理科课程。
这一要求对主修英语的学生来说肯定不成问题。
另外,许多医学院校要求学生必须在医学院入学考试中达到规定的最低分,这一测试对全面发展的文科学生来说又十分有利。
医学院入学考试检测四方面的能力:同义词、反义词和词语联想能力;从分数到立体几何学的基本数学知识;文学、哲学、心理学、音乐、艺术和社会科学的常识;以及熟悉中学和大学初始阶段教过的生物学、化学和物理学基本原理的程度。
理科基础扎实的主修英语学生完全有能力参加这一考试和医学院入学考试,他们的阅读、分析、阐述和准确交流的能力使他们更胜一筹。
学医和行医只会从对人的行为的洞察中受益无穷,而这种洞察却是文学研究才能提供的。
很明显,如此的洞察力对计划从商的学生来说也是很有价值的。
这样的学生应该考虑的是,挑选主修对商科有侧重的英语课程是有优势的:这种课程的目的在于在提供文科教育的同时,也为从商做职业准备。
对这种教育计划的需求是显而易见的:只有技术性资格的毕业生能找到从商工作,但却经常难以居其位。
《华尔街杂志》和《大学生就业杂志》都有报道,说越来越多的著名商学院的毕业生发现他们自己经常从一种工作或一家公司跳槽到另一个工作或另一家公司,在一个工作岗位上干不了十二个月。
雇主们抱怨说,这些表面上年轻有为的男女们根本不会有效地交流,因为他们的文字能力不够强;他们不能够从管理人员培训中学到东西;他们不能够进行有效的口头表达;他们不能用书面形式报告他们的工作进展或问题;他们不能够指导其他工作人员。
然而,分析和交流的技能却是管理的最根本的需要。
因此,偏重商业经营管理方向的主攻英语的学生,为未来从事商业管理做好了充分准备。
对涉及从银行、保险到通信乃至制造业等众多领域的将近400家公司进行的有关调查显示,针对是否聘用具有英语学位文凭却没有受过行业领域的专门培训的毕业生这一问题,百分之八十五的公司说他们聘用过。
拥有英语学位文凭的大学毕业生在营销、系统工程、人事管理、销售、编程、项目设计和劳资关系等领域都工作得十分出色。
主修英语的学生也正在各级政府提供的上千种岗位上工作。
就拿可以算得是美国最大的雇主的联邦政府来说吧。
从海军陆战队到矿务局,从商业部到国家公园服务处,联邦政府各种机构雇佣的劳动大军近三百万人。
主修英语的学生适合做其中的许多工作。
最近,向51个联邦政府机构调查了同一个问题:是否聘用有英语学位文凭而却没有受过专门行业训练的大学毕业生,88%的这些联邦政府单位的回答是肯定的。
主修英语的毕业生能胜任联邦政府的一系列工作,从索赔审议到外交官再到公路安全管理专家等等。
再说,那些要求高薪高位的人可能还需要参加一种考试,这就是,联邦政府每年都要举行的“业务和管理职业考试”借此对大约10 000种工作岗位的求职者进行考核,而测试的焦点仍然是语言技能:理解、分析、阐述、理解概念间逻辑关系的能力,以及解决用文字表述问题的能力。
毫不奇怪,主修英语的学生时常在这一考试中获得高分。
简而言之,英语的课程既无局限性又很实用:学习英语是对职业生涯的绝好准备。

In the US, there is no national language.Linan: While it may be t rue that there is no national language in America, it is also true that a graduate is more marketable if he is multilingual. But, to be multilingual is not enough. In today’s age, most multi-nationalcorporations require t heir employees t o speak, read, and write a common language. Most often, t hatlanguage is English.Dr Wilson: Linan is right, students. Like it or not, English is the predominant language in the world, especially in the business sector. If you want t o succeed in the world of business, then you must mast er English. Even if youdon’t want t o work in the business circles, English is still a big academic pursuit to be learnt with vigor. 十一。
