圣诞“姥”人惨遭吐槽

What if Santa was a woman - could she do the job? That's the question an advertising agency posed.
假如圣诞老人是个女的，她能胜任这个工作吗？近日，一家广告公司抛出了这个问题。

The answer, according to the four to ten-year-olds they asked, was a resounding 'No'.
在采访了一些4至10岁的小朋友后，该公司得到的答案是一个响亮的“不能”。

Faced with this light-hearted Christmas quiz, the little ones wilted under the pressure of predictable gender stereotypes.
面对这么轻松的圣诞小测验，孩子们都在琢磨该怎么答（其实已经可以预见他们幼小的心灵里住着的刻板的性别歧视观点啦）。

One boy claimed a lady Santa wouldn't be strong enough to carry the sack ('She would need to go to the gym first'); another said she would 'get lost in the sky'.
一名小男孩认为圣诞“姥”人不够强壮，因此拿不动装礼物的袋子（原话是“她得先去健身房锻炼一下”）；还有一个说圣诞“姥”人可能会“在天空中迷路”。

A little girl said Mrs Claus wouldn't be able to wrap the presents because her baby would get in the way and, more worryingly, one claimed a woman would fail because she would 'just get a headache'.
有个小女孩表示，圣诞“姥”人可能会没时间包礼物，因为她的孩子一直过来打扰她；还有个更操心的小朋友，觉得圣诞“姥”人成为不了圣诞老人是因为孩子们让她“太伤脑筋了（译者注：可能妈妈在训斥她时，说过这样的话）”。

The one comment that could make women cross, though, was the child who reckoned a woman Santa would be good at 'bossing around the elves'.
还有一个可能会让众女性们抓狂的回答——这位小朋友认为圣诞“姥”人一定会对手下的精灵们“颐指气使”。
