Lesson: 课文

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

歧视是指因种族、性别、肤色、宗教、原国籍、年龄、身体、精神障碍或性别倾向而不利地或不公平地对待某人。

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.

如果说歧视存在的年头还没有几千年之久，那么也有好几百年的时间了。不过很多国家正在逐步制订法律法规以消除歧视。接下来是让所有人都意识到歧视行为，并使人们确信当他们停止歧视他人，这个世界将会变得更美好。

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.

帮助人们停止歧视他人最行之有效的方法之一是让他们亲身体会被他人歧视。一旦你真正受到歧视，很有可能你就不会再去歧视他人了，因为你真正明白了歧视带给了你什么样的感受。

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.

另一种预防歧视的好方法是积极地教导孩子正确地接人待物。当孩子对待别人的方式仅仅基于他们的相貌或言语时要加以阻止。在非歧视行为上受到良好教育的孩子能够教导其他人，包括他们自己的孩子，这样最终人们就一起停止歧视他人。

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.

如果你认为你受到了歧视，那么你应该怎么做?首先，告诉歧视你的人为什么你认为他们的行为是错误的。如果他们不努力去改变，多数公司和国家有针对歧视的强硬法律法规，向人事资源经理或律师咨询看看你是否可以得到赔偿或通过法律手段来解决。

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.

消除歧视是全人类的利益所在。我们必须一起努力停止这种有害的做法。所有人出生平等。任何形式的歧视均是无知与嫉妒的产物。
