职场英语：在职场遭遇“瓶颈”
<p>最近的一项调查发现，中国的职业女性不仅渴求经济上的独立，同时也在寻找工作带来的成就感和满足感。尽管女性的地位在稳步提高，但是有66%的职业女性认为，在职业发展上女性依然受到歧视。</p><p>请看《中国日报》的报道：</p><p><span word="Women">Women</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="come">come</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="career">career</span> <span word="bottleneck">bottleneck</span>, <span word="Yang">Yang</span> <span word="Lan">Lan</span>, <span word="a">a</span> <span word="CPPCC">CPPCC</span> <span word="member">member</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="popular">popular</span> <span word="TV">TV</span> <span word="presenter">presenter</span>, <span word="said">said</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="interview">interview</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="cnr">cnr</span>.<span word="cn">cn</span>. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="number">number</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="women">women</span> <span word="decision">decision</span>-<span word="makers">makers</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="companies">companies</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="far">far</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="enough">enough</span>. <span word="It">It</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="because">because</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="don">don</span>'<span word="t">t</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="opportunities">opportunities</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="unqualified">unqualified</span>。</p><p>政协委员、著名电视节目主持人杨澜在中国广播网的访谈中表示，在职业发展中，女性职业有瓶颈。在企事业高管层面，女性的代表性还是远远不够。这并不是因为她们没有机会或能力不够。</p><p>在上面的报道中，<span word="career">career</span> <span word="bottleneck">bottleneck</span>就是“职业瓶颈”。<span word="Bottleneck">Bottleneck</span>的意思是“瓶颈”，喻指“僵局，阻碍进展的情况”，例如：<span word="a">a</span> <span word="bottleneck">bottleneck</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="production">production</span>(生产上的障碍)。<span word="Bottleneck">Bottleneck</span>也可以作动词用，意思是“阻碍，堵塞”，例如：<span word="His">His</span> <span word="request">request</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="bottlenecked">bottlenecked</span> <span word="for">for</span> 2 <span word="months">months</span>。(他的要求已被搁置两个月了。)</p><p>在形容女性在工作中的发展瓶颈时，我们还可以经常见到一个词，就是<span word="glass">glass</span> <span word="ceiling">ceiling</span>(玻璃天花板)，通常专指女性在工作升迁中所遭遇的一种无形的障碍，使其不能到达较高阶层。在全世界范围内<span word="gender">gender</span> <span word="discrimination">discrimination</span>(性别歧视)依然存在。在承认<span word="gender">gender</span> <span word="gap">gap</span>(性别差异)的前提下，我们要致力于实现<span word="gender">gender</span> <span word="equality">equality</span>(性别平等)。</p>
