华罗庚做饭_现代的“女孩”不会做饭？-CSDN博客

华罗庚做饭

This article based on a survey taken by the Guides Association tells us the dreadful news that girls today don’t know how to boil an egg.

本文是根据指南协会（Guides Association）进行的一项调查告诉我们的，可怕的消息是当今的女孩不知道如何煮鸡蛋。

I appreciate that the article is based on research done by an all-female organisation, but surely the emphasis should be that young people (regardless of gender) are not gaining important life skills – like the ability to feed themselves cheaply. Of course ‘mothers going out to work’ is cited as one of the reasons for this problem. Working mothers can be conveniently blamed for most things I find, those that cannot can always be blamed on single mothers – as a working, single mother I am glad to know that I am probably responsible for almost all problems in modern society!

我赞赏这篇文章是基于一个全女性组织的研究而得出的，但可以肯定的是，重点应该是年轻人（不论性别）没有获得重要的生活技能，例如廉价养活自己的能力。当然，“母亲外出工作”被认为是造成这一问题的原因之一。我发现大多数事情都可以被归咎于在职母亲，而不能总是归咎于单身母亲–作为一个工作，单身母亲，我很高兴知道我可能对现代社会的几乎所有问题负责！

When I was at school 10 years ago, the cooking skills taught in home economics revolved around victoria sponge cakes and strange creations made by melting mars bars, not in creating good food on a budget – something that would have been more useful in the relatively deprived area of the country the school was in.

十年前，当我在学校时，家庭经济学教授的烹饪技能围绕着维多利亚海绵蛋糕和熔化的火星棒制作的奇特作品，而不是预算外的美食–在相对贫困的人们看来，这本来会更有用学校所在的国家/地区。

I rarely eat any processed food, I love to cook and cook at least one meal from scratch every day, my parents cook but I have taught myself as it really isn’t difficult! I have also taught myself to fix washing machines, carpentry, how to do my own taxes and a myriad of other things that this report thinks that ‘girls’ are incapable of doing due to their education… none of these things were taught in my school.

我很少吃任何加工过的食物，我喜欢每天从头开始做饭，至少做一顿饭，我的父母做饭，但是我自学了，因为这并不难！我还自学了修理洗衣机，木工，如何做自己的税以及许多其他事情，本报告认为，“女孩”由于受过教育而无能为力……我学校没有教过这些事。

Perhaps they should be, to be self reliant and not need to ‘get a man in’ to do simple jobs is a great strength. To be able to make a nice meal when you only have a few quid can make all the difference, to know how to budget, not be scared of your tax return and know how to deal with banks can save a lot of stress… but these apply to both men and women particularly as we are living in a time when more people than ever before are living alone – either by choice or circumstance – and need to be able to take care of all aspects of their life.

也许他们应该做到自力更生，而不需要“雇一个人”来做简单的工作，这是一个很大的优势。在只有几笔钱的情况下就能吃一顿美餐可以改变一切，知道如何预算，不怕退税，知道如何与银行打交道可以节省很多压力……但是这些适用于男人和女人，尤其是当我们生活在一个比以往任何时候都孤单的人们（无论是选择还是根据情况）并且需要能够照顾到他们生活的各个方面的时代。
