人大附中2021新高考高考英语外刊素材积累（阅读写作提升7） 25年过去了，我们离性别平等依旧遥远 导读 25年前，世界各国团结起来，确保地球上一半的人口获得与另一半人口相同的权利、权力和地位。但这并没有发生。 双语阅读 Addressing the opening session of a high-level meeting to commemorate the landmark 1995 U.N. women’s conference in Beijing, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said “this is fundamentally a question of power.” And in today’s more divided, conservative and still very male-dominated world, that power belongs overwhelmingly to men. 秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯在纪念1995年在北京举行的具有里程碑意义的联合国妇女大会高级别会议开幕式上说：“这从根本上来说，是一个权力问题"。而在今天这个更加分裂、保守、仍然由男性主导的世界里，这种权力绝大部分属于男性。   Guterres pointed to the frequent exclusion of women from peace negotiations, climate talks and decision-making roles of all kinds.
