小豬佩奇性別歧視？都是這個(gè)單詞惹的禍！

A London fire station's tweet calling out popular British kids' show "Peppa Pig" for using sexist language has spread like wildfire – and sparked a debate about gender specific wording.

倫敦一家消防局在推特上指責(zé)英國(guó)兒童節(jié)目《小豬佩奇》使用性別歧視語言，這條推特發(fā)出后迅速傳播開來，并引發(fā)了一場(chǎng)關(guān)于性別特定措辭的熱議。

In a "Peppa Pig" episode called "The Fire Engine," Peppa's mother is dressed up as a firefighter and the narrator says this:

"Mummy pig is dressed as a fireman."

在《小豬佩奇》的《消防車》一集中，佩奇媽媽穿著消防員的制服，旁白這樣說道：“佩奇媽媽穿成了消防員的樣子。”

That's when the London Fire Brigade chimed in on Sunday.

倫敦消防隊(duì)于周日介入這件事

“拜托@小豬佩奇，我們已經(jīng)不是fireman都30年了。你們的用詞對(duì)孩子有很大影響。使用過時(shí)的刻板詞匯會(huì)讓女孩不愿意當(dāng)消防員。”

The tweet has racked up more than 600 comments with mixed reviews of support and disgust.

這條推特已經(jīng)收到了600多條評(píng)論，評(píng)論褒貶不一。

"Fight fires, leave politics alone," responded @FroggattSteve.

“救火就行了，不要跟政治扯上關(guān)系”

"We agree! You have to see it to be it, and subtle language does influence choices," said @ntjustaprincess, which @LondonFire later retweeted.

“我們同意!你必須看到什么就是什么，微妙的語言確實(shí)影響選擇。”

小編在這里也對(duì)
