　　英語四級閱讀200篇：要智慧還是苗條

　　Smart or Thin

　　Women still have a complex and contradictory relationship with their own image according to a pol1 released on Tuesday that found 25 percent of those questioned would rather win the "America's Next Top Model" TV show than the Nobel Peace Prize.

　　And although 75 percent of women surveyed said they'd be willing to shave their heads to save the life of a stranger, more than a quarter of those taking part admitted they would make their best friend fat for life, if it meant they could be thin.

　　As for that age-old dilemma of whether to marry for wealth or looks, half of the 18-to 24-year-olds questioned said they would marry an ugly man if he were a multimillionaire.

　　The poll for US television network Oxygen, which is targeted at young women, also found that 88 percent of 18-to 34-year-old women would happily give up their cell phone, jewelry and makeup to keep a friendship.

　　"This survey proves an interesting dissection of today's woman and how she relates her personal image with what she values in her life," said Dr. Jenn Berman, psychotherapist and judge of the upcoming new Oxygen series Pretty Wicked.

　　"As shown in several results, women today are a complex combination of altruistic and materialistic, vain and insecure, loyal and self-serving. This survey highlights the dichotomy in all of us," Berman said.

　　More than 2,000 women aged 18-34 were interviewed for the poll.

　　要智慧還是要苗條

　　一項于本周二公布的民調顯示，女性對自身形象問題仍然持一種復雜而矛盾的心態。25%的受訪者稱，與獲得諾貝爾和平獎相比，她們更希望在"全美超模大賽"中獲勝。

　　盡管75%的受訪女性稱，如果能夠挽救一個陌生人的生命，她們愿意剃光頭，而超過四分之一的人坦稱如果能讓她們自己變苗條，她們會讓最好的朋友變胖。

　　在找對象是看重財富還是外表這一由來已久的問題上。18歲至24歲的受訪女性中有一半的人稱她們愿意嫁給一個相貌丑陋的男子，如果他是百萬富翁。

　　這項針對年輕女性的調查由美國 Oxygen電視臺委托開展。調查還發現，在 18歲至34歲的女性中，有88%的人表示愿為保持一段友情而放棄手機、珠寶和化妝品。

　　精神治療師、Oxygen電視臺將推新劇《Pretty Wicked》的評委簡·伯曼博士說:"該調查對現代女性進行了一種有趣的剖析，揭示了她們如何將自己的個人形象與她們覺得人生中重要的東西聯系在一起。"

　　"幾項結果顯示，如今的女性是利他主義和物質主義、虛榮與不安全、忠誠與自私的復雜結合。這項調查揭示了我們所有人身上所存在的‘二元'現象。"

　　共有兩千多名18歲至34歲的女性參與了該民調。

　　句型講解：

　　1. And although 75 percent of women surveyed said they'd be willing to shave their heads to save the life of a stranger, more than a quarter of those taking part admitted they would make their best friend fat for life, if it meant they could be thin.

　　本句是一個復合句，主句是more than a quarter...could be thin，其中包含了一個省略了引導詞的賓語從句they would...for life和一個if引導的條件狀語從句。although引導讓步狀語從句，其中said后面是省略了引導詞的賓語從句，作said的賓語。

　　語法重點：賓語從句，條件狀語從句，讓步狀語從句

　　2. "This survey proves an interesting dissection of today's woman and how she relates her personal image with what she values in her life," said Dr. Jenn Berman, psychotherapist and judge of the upcoming new Oxygen series Pretty Wicked.

　　本句是一個復合句。引號內的內容作said的賓語。其中of today's woman...in her life介詞短語作后置定語，修飾dissection，其中how引導的名詞性從句作of的賓語， what引導的名詞性從句，作with的賓語。 psychotherapist and judge of the upcoming new Oxygen series是Dr. Jenn Berman的同位語。

　　語法重點：賓語從句，名詞性從句，同位語
