女人应不应该当兵英语作文
这是一篇有关女人服兵役的文章,解释详细论点清楚.希望对你有帮助.
Most of the recent discussions have centred on whether women should serve NS, and we should first ask why we want them to serve. It is not difficult to identify the main underlying reasons most people seem to agree on. The first is that the men suffer, therefore to be fair, the women should suffer too. The second is a variation on the first, although not so vindictive: so the women will be more understanding of what the men go through. A third newer reason is that women are patriotic too and should be given the choice to serve NS. This is somewhat similar to a trend in other countries, where women are taking on more roles in the military for gender equality.The latest suggestion is to let women decide whether to serve NS (Photo Credit: The Straits Times via guanyinmiao)
To address the first point of equal suffering, the crux of the issue is really why we conscript the men and not the women? I think it boils down to how many people we need in the SAF, because taking women out of the workforce as well would double the drain on the economy, and the training and deployment of twice the number of NSmen would greatly increase defence expenditure. For example, we would need at least one more BMTC, more camps, more equipment, more trainers and more training space; possibly reclaim another Pulau Tekong? It is not impossible, but is that what we really want to do with our national resources?On the second point for better understanding, I do agree women should be given a better understanding of what the men go through, but again I don't think an extreme measure like conscripting them is the best way to use national resources. Movies like Ah Boys to Men are a great way to get a conversation going, and perhaps we could encourage more NSF to talk openly about their experiences, both good and bad. I have often seen comments on the SAF Confessions that it has opened up a woman's eyes to NS. I feel the key to solving this is communication and not conscription.
Third, I think it is a joke to suggest that women should be given a choice. NS is not Outward Bound school, and the men don't get a choice. If a woman feels patriotic and wants to get a taste of SAF life, she can sign on. When I was an NSF more than 10 years ago, I had an ex-classmate who signed on and she went through BMT and OCS alongside us. But eventually, she decided the life was not for her and pulled out midway through OCS. To offer the choice to serve NS to any woman looking for ways to kill time before university would be a severe drain on the SAF's resources - resources which should be dedicated to strengthening the defence of the nation. It is wonderful that today many women are looking for ways to contribute, and this should definitely be encouraged. But we shouldn't confuse it with NS.
Women who want to experience Army life can always sign on! (Photo Credit: Army Recruitment Centre)Find out more about what women do in the SAF from Flickr.
Question 2: Can women serve NS?
This is not a question of legality, because in the first place the Enlistment Act oes not distinguish between genders. Rather the question here is whether women are physically able to serve NS? Do they make good soldiers? Is there a difference between male and female?
In my years in the SAF, I have worked with some excellent female regulars. In fact, I would say that on average, the women in the SAF are more patriotic, more intelligent and more capable than the men. They have no lack of courage or determination and have excellent work ethic. There are many roles in which these women can perform as well if not better than the men. And women have shown they can excel even in traditionally male roles, such as that of Regimental Sergeant Major. However, there are some key differences, and this boils down to physiology and psychology.

I had my first close encounter with women in the military when I was training in the US. As the sole Singapore trainee, I always tried to represent the country with pride, including for fitness. By the end of the course, I was in the top 10%, and I will never forget one particularly difficult test for which I had to run 2 miles (3.2 km) in less than 12 minutes. And I will also never forget that one of the few people in front of me was a woman. The other incident I remember was not a personal one; it was the news coverage and public response to the capture of Jessica Lynch (more on that below).
The U.S. DoD’s recent Jan 2013 decision to rescind the direct combat exclusion rule has re-ignited the debate on what roles women are physically capable of in the armed forces. Because women already serve in most parts of the US military, most of the discussion has been about how well women will perform ground combat roles, in particular in the Marines/Infantry. At the moment, the approach that the military is taking is that women will not be excluded from any role based on gender – but they would be subjected to the same physical standards as the men. And as a result, women are still effectively excluded (e.g. they must do 3 chin ups to join the Marines, same as the men, andno woman has passed the officer course), although there is currently a review underway to ensure that these standards are accurate proxies for operational requirements and not artificial barriers. In summary, the findings so far suggest that the majority of females cannot meet the physical demands of Infantry/Guards/Armour-type combat, which is the core of what our NSmen do. This is pretty much what I would say from my own experience as well.There will always be a few women of exceptional physical strength, but these are exceptional (Photo Credit: MilitaryTimes blog)
There is also a psychological dimension to this which is less discussed and has been losing ground. In the words of US Presidential candidate Rick Santorum, “men have emotions when you see a woman in harm's way”. The concern is that the protective instincts that men feel for women might compromise their mission if their female comrades become casualties. Apparently, it is more difficult to leave an injured comrade behind to complete the mission, if that comrade is female. It is not just the men directly around the female casualty, but even the public reacts differently, as evidenced by the case of Jessica Lynch, who was captured in Iraq in 2003 and eventually rescued in a special forces raid. I don’t think any male private ever warranted that in recent times. However, as thisForeign Policy article discusses, the number of armed forces that put women in harm’s way is on the increase, as women take on a variety of roles closer to the front line (the definition of "front line" is also becoming increasingly blurred). Hence it would appear that the psychological objection is now of less concern around the world than the physiological one. And anyway, it's not really the fault of the women what the men think.

求英语寓言小故事最好带翻译,
Making His Mark “刻舟求剑”
A man from the state of Chu was taking a boat across a river when he dropped his sword into the water carelessly. Immediately he made a mark on the side of the boat where the sword dropped, hoping to find it later. When the boat stopped moving, he went into the water to search for his sword at the place where he had marked the boat. As we know, the boat had moved but the sword had not. Isn’t this a very foolish way to look for a sword?
楚国有个人坐船渡江时,他不小心把自己的一把宝剑掉落江中.他马上掏出一把小刀,在宝剑落水的船舷上刻上一个记号.船靠岸后,那楚人立即从船上刻记号的地方跳下水去捞取掉落的宝剑.他怎么找得到宝剑呢?船继续行驶,而宝剑却不会再移动.像他这样去找剑,真是太愚蠢可笑了.
To Pull up the Seedlings to Help Them Grow “拔苗助长”
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who planted a plot of rice. After he planted the seedlings, every day he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day, but still, he thought they were growing too slowly. Eventually he got impatient with the young plants and suddenly he hit upon an idea that one by one, he pulled up the young plants by half an inch. The next early morning, the young man couldn’t wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
从前,有个农夫,种了稻苗（seedlings）后,便希望能早早收成.每天他到稻田时,都发觉那些稻苗长得非常慢.他等得很不耐烦.想了又想,他终于想到一个“最佳方法”,他将稻苗全都拔高了几分.第二天,一早起身,他迫不及待地去稻田看他的“成果”. 哪知,却看到所有的稻苗都枯萎了.
Plugging One’s Ears While Stealing a Bell “掩耳盗铃”
Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to steal his neighbor’s doorbell. However, he knew clearly that the bell would ring and catch the other people’s attention as long as he touched the bell. So he thought hard and suddenly hit on a clever “idea”. He plugged his ears with something, thinking that everything would go well when he stole the bell. Unfortunately to his disappointment, the bell still rang loudly and he was caught on the spot as a thief.
从前,有一个人想偷邻居门上的铃,但是他知道一碰到铃,铃就会响起来,被人发现.他想啊想,终于他想出一个“妙极”,他把自己的耳朵用东西塞起来,就听不见铃声了.但是当他去偷铃时,铃声仍旧响起来,他被别人当场抓住
The Fox and the Crow “狐狸和乌鸦”
One day a crow stood on a branch near his nest and felt very happy with the meat in his mouth. At that time, a fox saw the crow with the meat, so he swallowed and eagerly thought of a plan to get the meat. However, whatever the fox said to the crow, the crow just kept silent. Until the fox thought highly of the crow’s beautiful voice, the crow felt flattered and opened his mouth to sing. As soon as the meat fell down to the ground, the fox took the meat and went into his hole.

Draw a Snake and Add Feet to It “画蛇添足”
Long long ago, several people had a jar of wine among them and all of them wanted to drink it by himself. So they set a rule that every one would draw a snake on the ground and the man who finished first would have the wine. One man finished his snake very soon and he was about to drink the wine when he saw the others were still busy drawing, so he decided to draw the feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, another man finished and grabbed the jar from him, saying, "Who has ever seen a snake with feet?” The story of "Draw a snake and add feet to It.” tells us going too far is as bad as not going far enough.
古时几个人分一壶酒.他们都想独自喝完那壶酒,所以就定了一个规矩：每人在地上画一条蛇,谁画得最快,这壶酒就归谁.有一个人很快就把蛇画好了.他正打算喝这壶酒时,看见别人都还在忙着画,就决定给蛇再画上几只脚.结果,他的蛇脚还没加完,另一个人已经把蛇画好了.那人一下把酒壶夺了过去,说：“有谁见过长脚的蛇?”.这个故事告诉我们这样的道理：做得过分和做得不够都是不对的
