留美老师带你每日说英文 第672期:电影所传达的讯息

台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是：

Are they absorbing the story that a male hero's job is to defeat the villain with violence and then collect the reward, which is a woman who has no friends and doesn't speak? Are we soaking up that story? You know, as a parent with the privilege of raising a daughter, like all of you who are doing the same thing, we find this world and this statistic very alarming and we want to prepare them.
他们正在接收这个故事所传达的讯息吗？男主角的任务就是使用暴力打败坏蛋，然后接受奖励，而奖品就是一个既没朋友又不会说话的女人？我们要接受这样的故事吗?你们知道的，身为一个有幸能养育到女儿的家长，就跟你们在座所有人正在做的一样，我们觉得这个世界和这样的统计数据非常令人忧心、我们想要协助她们做好准备。
