genderWays of talking about men and women表示男女的说法

Jobs职业
- The suffix -ess in names of occupations such as actress, hostess and waitress shows that the person doing the job is a woman. Many people now avoid these. Instead you can use actor or host (although actress and hostess are still very common), or a neutral word, such as server for waiter and waitress.
- Neutral words like assistant, worker, person or officer are now often used instead of -man or -woman in the names of jobs. For example, you can use police officer instead of policeman or policewoman, and spokesperson instead of spokesman or spokeswoman. Neutral words are very common in newspapers, on television and radio and in official writing, in both British English and North American English.
- When talking about jobs that are traditionally done by the other sex, some people say: a male secretary/nurse/model (NOT man) or a woman/female doctor/barrister/driver. However this is now not usually used unless you need to emphasize which sex the person is, or it is still unusual for the job to be done by a man/woman: My daughter prefers to see a woman doctor.我的女儿喜欢让女医生看病。They have a male nanny for their kids.他们有个男保姆照料孩子。a female racing driver女赛车手
Pronouns代词
- He used to be considered to cover both men and women: he 过去被认为既指男性也指女性：Everyone needs to feel he is loved.人人都需要有被爱的感觉。 This is not now acceptable. Instead, after everybody, everyone, anybody, anyone, somebody, someone, etc. one of the plural pronouns they, them, and their is often used: Does everybody know what they want?人人都知道自己需要什么吗？Somebody’s left their coat here.有人把外衣落在这儿了。I hope nobody’s forgotten to bring their passport with them.希望没人忘了随身带上护照。
- Some people prefer to use he or she, his or her, or him or her in speech and writing: 有人在口语和书面语中喜欢用 he or she、his or her 或 him or her：Everyone knows what’s best for him- or herself.人人都知道对自己来说什么是最好的。 He/she or (s)he can also be used in writing: If in doubt, ask your doctor. He/she can give you more information.如有疑问请向你的医生咨询，他／她会给你更多的信息。 (You may find that some writers just use ‘she’.) These uses can seem awkward when they are used a lot. It is better to try to change the sentence, using a plural noun. Instead of saying: A baby cries when he or she is tired婴儿累了就会哭 you can say Babies cry when they are tired.婴儿疲倦时会哭。
