Question

这句英文是什么意思？点解！

we have made old women invisible so that we do not have to confront our society's myths about what makes life valuable or dying painful.
这句话是大学英语教材里面的一句话，就算是把它翻译成中文我都有些费解这句话的意思。所以请高手点解！
2.What is awful is how society treats old women and their problems. To the degree that we accept and allow such treatment we buy the ageist assumptions that permit this treatment.
后面这个句子的语法怎么分析？

Answer 1

翻译大概是这样：
我们故意忽视那些年老的女性，这样我们就不需要认同社会那些关于生命意义（或终于太深或轻于鸿毛）的价值观。

问题补充：
如果这句话写成这样就好看懂了
we buy(这里译为：赞同) the ageist assumptions to the degree that we accept and allow such treatment that permit this treatment.

Answer 2

我们已经看不见老年妇女，使我们不必面对什么使生命有价值，我们的社会痛苦死去的神话。
