22. Pottery is For Girls 陶器是女人们玩的

Sharon Carter wanted to take a pottery class. She didn't want to go alone. She invited her husband to go with her. "I don't want to do that!" said Mr. Carter. "Pottery is for girls!"

卡特沙伦想参加陶器课程，但她不想一个人去。她邀请她的丈夫跟她一起去。卡特先生说，“我才不想去呢！陶器是女人们玩的”

This made Sharon very angry. She could not believe he said that. "That's a sexist thing to say!" yelled Sharon. She argued with him for hours. Mr. Carter was tired of fighting. He agreed to go just to shut Sharon up.

这让沙伦非常生气，她不敢相信他说了那种话。沙伦喊道，“你这是性别歧视！”她跟他为此吵了几个小时。卡特先生厌烦了争吵，为了让沙伦闭嘴，他同意去了。

Their first class went very well. Mr. Carter was really good at making pots. The instructors loved him. "You are very talented!" they all said. Mr. Carter went to pottery class every week after that. He loved it!

他们的第一次课上的非常好，卡特先生很擅长做陶盆。指导员们都很喜欢他，他们说他非常有天分。从那以后卡特先生每周都去陶器课，他爱上它了！
