RECENT years have seen more men working in what were considered "female" occupations, such as nursing, kindergarten teaching and nail technicians.
近年來(lái)看到越來(lái)越多的男性在被認(rèn)為是“女性”職業(yè)的崗位上工作,，如護(hù)士、幼師和美甲師,。

A trip to the nail bar is a popular girly outing among Shanghai women; an opportunity to relax, get your nails done and catch up on gossip with friends. But nowadays, it's not unknown for customers of this most female of institutions to find themselves greeted by a male nail technician, eager to shape, shine and buff.
在上海女性中去一趟美甲藝術(shù)軒是一項(xiàng)很受女孩歡迎的外出活動(dòng),；一個(gè)放松的機(jī)會(huì)，把指甲做好看并補(bǔ)上朋友的八卦新聞,。但如今,，顧客不是不知道這項(xiàng)擁有大多數(shù)女性的機(jī)構(gòu)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己正受到一個(gè)男性美甲師的歡迎，（她們）渴望有型,、閃閃發(fā)亮以及拋光保養(yǎng),。

That men are now working in what was almost a woman-only preserve is indicative of changes in the city workplace in recent years, which have also seen males take up positions in professions such as nursing, kindergarten teaching and secretarial work.
那些現(xiàn)在正工作于只有女性存在行業(yè)的男人暗示了近年來(lái)城市勞動(dòng)力的變化，從男性從事著諸如護(hù)士,、幼師以及秘書(shū)的工作中也看到此類現(xiàn)象,。

Traditionally, women were perceived as being more patient, considerate and sensitive than males, and deemed more suitable for "feminine" professions requiring these qualities.
傳統(tǒng)上，女性被認(rèn)為比男性更耐心,、體貼,、敏感，更適合女性的職業(yè)需要這些品質(zhì),。

But in recent years such distinctions have faded, with males being accepted in these roles. Many experts hold this up as the development of Chinese society, with people becoming more open-minded.
但在最近幾年這種差別已經(jīng)消失,，男性在這些角色正被接受。許多專支持這種現(xiàn)象,，由于中國(guó)社會(huì)的發(fā)展,，人們變得更加開(kāi)放。

"Men do jobs dominated by women; women do jobs dominated by men. Both trends illustrate the progress of society and should be viewed as natural," says Gu Xiaoming, sociologist and professor in Fudan University.
“男性從事女性主導(dǎo)的工作；女性從事男性主導(dǎo)的工作,。這兩個(gè)趨勢(shì)說(shuō)明了社會(huì)的進(jìn)步,，理應(yīng)被視為當(dāng)然，” 社會(huì)學(xué)家以及復(fù)旦大學(xué)教授顧小明說(shuō),。

Being shocked by this or misunderstanding it reflects a prejudice of male-dominated society.
被這震驚或誤解,，它反映了男權(quán)社會(huì)的一種偏見(jiàn)。

"However, this does not mean that we can push men to do feminine jobs or take their success for granted. Development in any career depends on many elements," adds Gu.
“然而,，這并不意味著我們可以強(qiáng)迫男人做女人的工作或者把他們的成功認(rèn)為是理所當(dāng)然,。任何職業(yè)發(fā)展都取決于很多因素，”顧補(bǔ)充道,。
