Lesson: 課文

Discrimination means treating someone unfavorably or unfairly because of race, sex, color, religion, national origin, age, physical/mental handicap or sexual orientation.

歧視是指因種族、性別、膚色、宗教、原國籍、年齡、身體、精神障礙或性別傾向而不利地或不公平地對待某人。

Discrimination has been happening for hundreds, if not thousands of years, but slowly countries are making laws and policies to stamp it out. The next step is to make all people aware of discriminatory behaviors and to convince them that the world will be a better place when they stop.

如果說歧視存在的年頭還沒有幾千年之久，那么也有好幾百年的時間了。不過很多國家正在逐步制訂法律法規(guī)以消除歧視。接下來是讓所有人都意識到歧視行為，并使人們確信當他們停止歧視他人，這個世界將會變得更美好。

One of the most effective ways to help people stop discriminating against other people, is for them to actually experience discrimination themselves. Once you have been really discriminated against, it is highly unlikely that you will ever do it to others again because you have a real understanding of how it made you feel.

幫助人們停止歧視他人最行之有效的方法之一是讓他們親身體會被他人歧視。一旦你真正受到歧視，很有可能你就不會再去歧視他人了，因為你真正明白了歧視帶給了你什么樣的感受。

Another good way to prevent discrimination, is to actively teach children the right way to treat people and to stop them when they treat people simply based on the way someone looks or speaks. Children who get a good education in non-discriminatory behavior will be able to teach others including their own children and eventually stop it all together.

另一種預防歧視的好方法是積極地教導孩子正確地接人待物。當孩子對待別人的方式僅僅基于他們的相貌或言語時要加以阻止。在非歧視行為上受到良好教育的孩子能夠教導其他人，包括他們自己的孩子，這樣最終人們就一起停止歧視他人。

What should you do if you think you have been discriminated against? First tell the person who discriminated against you why you think their behavior was wrong. If they don't make an effort to change, most companies and countries have strong laws against discrimination, see your human resources manager or a lawyer to find out if you have a claim or legal case.

如果你認為你受到了歧視，那么你應該怎么做?首先，告訴歧視你的人為什么你認為他們的行為是錯誤的。如果他們不努力去改變，多數(shù)公司和國家有針對歧視的強硬法律法規(guī)，向人事資源經(jīng)理或律師咨詢看看你是否可以得到賠償或通過法律手段來解決。

Ending discrimination is in the interests of all human beings. We must all work together to stop this evil practice. All men (and women of course) are created, and born, equal. Discrimination, of any type, is simply the result of ignorance and envy.

消除歧視是全人類的利益所在。我們必須一起努力停止這種有害的做法。所有人出生平等。任何形式的歧視均是無知與嫉妒的產(chǎn)物。
