第四节

OK, so we've been looking at the attitudes of various social and cultural groups towards 好的,我们一直在研究各种社会和文化团体的态度

the management of their personal finances - how important they feel it is to save money, 个人财务的管理,为了省钱,他们觉得它是多么重要,

and what they save their money for. One aspect that we haven't yet considered is gender. 他们存钱。一个方面,我们还没有考虑性别。

So if we consider gender issues we're basically asking whether men and women have 如果我们考虑性别问题我们基本上要求男性和女性是否有

different attitudes towards saving money, and whether they save money for different 不同的态度存钱,他们是否省钱为不同 things:

件事:

Back in 1928 the British writer George Bernard Shaw wrote in his Intelligent Women's 早在1928年,英国作家乔治·萧伯纳在他聪明的女子

they're far more likely to put money aside for their old age than women are. 他们更有可能把钱为他们的年龄比女性。

Now this is rather disturbing, because in fact the need for women to save for their old age 这是相当令人不安,因为事实上女性需要保存为他们老有所依

is far greater than for men. Let's consider this for a moment. To start with, it is a fact that 远远大于男性。让我们考虑一下这个。首先,这是一个事实

throughout the world, women are likely to live many years longer than men, so they need 整个世界,女性可能比男性多活许多年,所以他们需要

money to support them during this time. Since women are likely to be the ones left 钱来支持他们在这段时间。因为女性很可能会离开的

they don't have a spouse to look after them. Furthermore the high divorce rates in North 他们没有配偶照顾他们。此外,在北高离婚率

America are creating a poverty cycle for women. It is the divorced women who will most 美国正在创造一个贫困循环。这是离婚妇女谁会最多

for women it takes a crisis to make them think about their future financial situation. But of 女性需要危机让他们考虑他们的未来的财政状况。但是,

course this is the very worst time for anyone to make important decisions. Women today 当然这是最糟糕的时间任何人做出重要的决定。今天的女性

need to look ahead, think ahead - not wait until they're under pressure. Even women in 需要向前看,未雨绸缪,而不是等到他们的压力。即使女性在

their early twenties need to think about pensions, for example, and with increasing 二十几岁需要考虑养老金,例如,和增加

numbers of women in professional positions there are signs that this is beginning to 在专业职位的女性人数有迹象表明,这是开始
