????世上幾乎沒(méi)有比獲得諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)更高的殊榮了,。1895年，諾獎(jiǎng)創(chuàng)立者阿爾弗雷德·諾貝爾在他的遺囑中寫(xiě)道,，獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)摺岸紤?yīng)在此前一年為人類做出了最偉大的貢獻(xiàn)”,。

????今年有兩位女性獲得諾獎(jiǎng)，中國(guó)藥學(xué)家屠呦呦因發(fā)現(xiàn)抗瘧藥青蒿素獲得了諾貝爾生理學(xué)/醫(yī)學(xué)獎(jiǎng),，捕捉到蘇聯(lián)時(shí)代個(gè)人聲音的白俄羅斯作家斯維特蘭娜·阿列克謝耶維奇獲得了諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng),。

????單純來(lái)看，有兩位女性榮獲諾獎(jiǎng)讓人覺(jué)得難以置信,。但對(duì)比另外八位男性獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)邅?lái)看就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn),，在縮小諾獎(jiǎng)得主的男女差距方面，還有很大的提升空間,。

????自1901年諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)首次頒發(fā)以來(lái),，女性共獲獎(jiǎng)49次，男性獲獎(jiǎng)825次,，團(tuán)體組織獲獎(jiǎng)26次,。如果只比較男女獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)撸垣@諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)次數(shù)占5.6%,。

????There are few greater honors than winning the Nobel Prize. The Prize is given “to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind,” as Alfred Nobel, the founder of the prize, wrote in his last will in 1895.

????This year, two women have received the award: China’s Tu Youyou received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her work on finding a malaria cure, while Belarus’ Svetlana Alexievich was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for capturing the voice of the individual during the Soviet-era.

????On one hand, two women getting the top honor is is incredible. Yet when you compare the number to the eight men that received the Prize, it shows that there is still more work to be done to close the gender gap.

????Since the first Prize was awarded in 1901, women have won it 49 times, men 825 times, and organizations 26 times. Comparing just women to men, the former has received the honor 5.6% of the time.

????同時(shí),，就獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)咝詣e而言，并不是在所有的獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)上男女比例都是均勻的,。在六個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)中,，女性得主占比最高的是諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)（12.5%），其次是諾貝爾和平獎(jiǎng)（12.4%）,；諾貝爾物理學(xué)獎(jiǎng)的女性得獎(jiǎng)?wù)弑戎刈畹停s為1%）,。

????Not all categories of the Prize are created equal, however. Of the six categories, the Nobel Prize for literature has had the most female representation (12.5%), with the Nobel Peace Prize following closely behind (12.4%). Physics has had the least female recipients (around 1%).

????盡管這些數(shù)字確實(shí)不高，但截至目前情況一直在顯著改進(jìn),。在諾獎(jiǎng)問(wèn)世后的頭20年里,，只有四次頒發(fā)給了女性，其中居里夫人拿到了兩次,。

????而在接下來(lái)的60年中,，情況開(kāi)始稍有好轉(zhuǎn),，每20年里，都有五位女性獲獎(jiǎng),。到了20世紀(jì)最后20年,，情況有了明顯改善。從1981年到2000年,，女性11次奪得諾獎(jiǎng),。如今，21世紀(jì)的女性取得了真正的突破,。過(guò)去15年中,，19位女性拿到了這個(gè)獎(jiǎng)項(xiàng)。

????While this is indeed low, there have been drastic improvements. In the first twenty years of the Prize’s existence, women only received the honor on four occasions—and Marie Curie accounted for two of those times.

????The next 60 years were only slightly better: five women received the Prize during each 20-year period. It was only in the last two decades of the 20th century that progress was palpable: From 1981 through 2000, women were honored 11 times. Now, in the 21st century, women are truly making progress. Over the last 15 years, 19 women have received the honor.

????希望這樣的趨勢(shì)延續(xù)下去,，不斷加速,。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）
