在封建社会，家里生了个男孩儿就高兴得手舞足蹈，生了个女孩就唉声叹气的，这就是重男轻女。可是，时代不同了，早已过了封建社会，早就不应再是“重男轻女”了。然而，现在仍有一些家庭还有着重男轻女，男尊女卑的思想。

有一年，我和奶奶一起回了趟老家，老家已经大有改观了。从前破旧的楼房建成了“小高层”;学校也是一所又一所……

有一天，我从家里跑出来玩耍时，遇到了一个小女孩。她大约有八、九岁，个子不高，瘦瘦的，眼睛在削瘦的脸上显得好大好大，眼睛虽大但一点神也没有，目光呆板。我惊呆了，愣了好久才跑过去问:“你叫什么名字?为什么不去上学?”她咬着下嘴唇，声音十分颤抖地说:“我叫翠儿，家住在农村。我有一个小弟弟，家里又不富裕，再加上我父母都是“重男轻女”的人，所以只让弟弟上学。可我又非常想上学，妈妈却说‘女孩子上学有什么用，还是早点养家糊口吧!……”说着说着，她已经泣不成声了。我听了十分难过，便飞快地跑回家抓了一把糖塞给她。她不停地谢我。我却摆摆手说:“没什么，小事一桩!”她笑了，笑起来真好看，嘴巴一抿一抿的，可爱极了!

过了一会，我突然对她说:“跟我来!快点!”说完我就跑了。翠儿紧跟着我。我们来到一个沙地边。我捡起一根小树枝，在沙地上写了几个字，念了起来。翠儿愣了一下，眼睛里闪过一丝喜悦的光芒，又连忙跟着我一块念。翠儿学的一丝不苟，不一会就学会了我教她的所有字。

时间过得很快，不一会儿天就暗了下来。我便对她说:“翠儿，天快黑了。我得回家了，我家人都在等我呢!明天下午我再来教你。拜拜!”翠儿听了连连点头，目送着我远去的背影。回家的路上，我感叹道:“唉，翠儿真可怜!”

现在，时代正在发展着，社会正在进步着，早就不应该重男轻女了。

我们应该提倡“男女平等”。

英语翻译

In feudal society, when a boy was born in the family, he danced with joy, and when a girl was born, he sighed. This is patriarchy. However, the times are different, feudal society has long passed, and it should no longer be "patriarchal" long ago. However, there are still some families with the idea of valuing sons over daughters and inferiority to women.

One year, my grandma and I went back to our hometown, which has changed a lot. The old dilapidated buildings have been built into "small high-rises"; schools are also one after another...

One day, when I ran out of my house to play, I met a little girl. She was about eight or nine years old. She was not tall and thin, and her eyes looked so big and big on her thin face. Although the eyes were big, they were not at all divine, and their eyes were dull. I was stunned. I ran over for a long time and asked, "What's your name? Why don't you go to school?" She bit her lower lip and said with a trembling voice, "My name is Tweet and I live in the countryside. I have one. Little brother, the family is not rich, and my parents are both "patriarchs", so I only let my brother go to school. But I really want to go to school, but my mother said, "What's the use for girls to go to school? Come on!..." As she talked, she couldn't cry anymore. I was very sad when I heard it, so I quickly ran home and grabbed a handful of candy stuff for her. She kept thanking me. But I waved my hand and said, "It's nothing, it's a trivial matter!" She smiled. She smiled so beautifully, her mouth was squeezed, so cute!

After a while, I suddenly said to her: "Come with me! Hurry up!" I ran off after speaking. Tweety followed me closely. We came to a sandy ground. I picked up a small branch, wrote a few words on the sand, and read it. Tweet was stunned for a moment, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly followed me in reading. Tweety learned meticulously, and in a short while, she learned all the words I taught her.

Time passed quickly, and the sky darkened after a while. I said to her, "Tweet, it's getting dark. I have to go home, my family is waiting for me! I will teach you again tomorrow afternoon. Bye!" Tweet nodded and watched me away. Going back. On the way home, I sighed: "Oh, Tweety is so pathetic!"

Now that the times are developing and the society is progressing, it shouldn't be patriarchal long ago.

We should promote "equality between men and women."
