近日,網路搜尋龍頭Google前高管性騷擾卻拿天價封口費離職,全球員工抗議性別、種族不公。對照台灣11月底選舉,也將性別平等(gender equality)教育納入公投,儘管「適齡」有爭論,但提案合格率超過90%,已獲社會重視。
【性別平等淺談】

(你知道為何全球成千上百名Google員工發起出走潮嗎?)
B:Sure, in protest of sexual misconducts and in pursuit of gender equality.

■severance package 資遣費
A:The former executive even received a huge severance package after claims of sexual harassment.
(前高階主管被指控性騷後竟收到天價的資遣費。)
B:I think Google gets what it deserves for ignoring the benefits of its minority employees.

■transparency 透明化
A:That's why it's important we urge complete transparency in gender equality education.
(這就是為何全面促進性平教育透明化很重要。)
B:Right, hopefully people won't grow up thinking sexual exploitation might be acceptable.
(對啊,希望沒有人長大後認為性剝削或許是可接受的。)
