求翻译，急！！！

Most people can measure their status at work by four P’s: paychecks, promotions, performance reviews, and perks (特殊待遇). For women, it is the paychecks that often speak the loudest about how employers value them --- or undervalue them. Despite gains, many women still earn, on average, just 74 cents for every dollar men earn, reports the U.S. Census Bureau.

Do the math: That’s 26 cents per dollar lost. Over a working lifetime, the potential income adds up to staggering losses. As one example, the Institute for Women’s Policy Research in Washington calculates that the average 29-year-old working woman with a college degree will lose 990,000 dollars to the pay gap over her career.

To emphasize just how much that income gap between men and women costs women, the Working Women’s Department of the AFL-CIO last week launched an unusual Web site --- www. aflcio.org/women/equalpay.htm --- for equal pay. A visitor to the site simply enters her current salary, age group, and education level. Then the screen shows how much the pay gap could cost her.

For a hypothetical 40-year-old college educated woman earning 40,000 dollars, the figure is 844,107 dollars. In real life, of course, some women’s losses will be lower --- or even nonexistent.

Wage discrimination has been against the law for 35 years. Yet systematic underpayment on the basis of sex and race still pervades the workplace. Since the Equal Pay Act was signed in 1963, the wage gap has closed at the rate of less than half a penny a year, giving new meaning to the term “snail’s pace.”

Women secretaries, for example, earn about 100 dollars a week less than male clerks, according to the National Committee on Pay Equality. For women lawyers, median weekly earnings are nearly 300 dollars less than those of male lawyers. Median pay for women professors is 170 dollars less than their male counterparts. The list of disparities goes on.

Two myths persist. The first is that women work for extras --- vocations, clothes, second cars. In truth, women work for the same economic reasons men do --- to pay the rent, buy food, finance college education, save for retirement, and yes, buy extras too.

The second myth holds that the pay gap is a women’s issue. Not true.

绝大多数人通过4P原则来衡量他们的工作地位：薪水、职位升迁、业绩评估、特殊待遇。对女性来说，老板是否正确评估或者低估薪金水平的争议最大。根据美国人口普查局的调查，尽管有收益，但许多女性的收入平均水平依然只有男性的74%。
做道数学题：每一美元中就有26分的损失。工作一辈子，隐性收入的损失将难以置信。举个例子，华盛顿妇女政策研究所计算了平均年龄为29岁的大专以上学历的职业女性在其职业生涯中因收入差距带来的损失达到了990000美元。
为了突出男女之间的收入差距如何导致女性的损失，为了呼吁同工同酬，AFL-CIO的妇女劳动部门上周建立了一个特殊的网站www. aflcio.org/women/equalpay.htm。网站访问者只需输入她的当前工资、年龄段以及教育水平。随后屏幕会显示出她的工资差距损失是多少。
对于一个40岁大专以上学历的女性来说，假设收入40000美元，这个数字实为844107美元。当然，在现实生活中，一些妇女的损失会更少或者没有损失。
工资歧视的违法现象已长达35年。然而建立在性别和种族基础上的低收入仍然普遍存在。从1963年同工同酬法案签署开始，工资差距以每年还不到一分钱的比率缩小，这也赋予了词语“蜗牛速度“新的含义。
比如，根据国家收入委员会的统计，女秘书一周大约比男性职员少挣100美元。女律师一周比男律师平均少挣300美元。女教授比她们的男性对手们少收入170美元。差距仍然明显存在。
两个误区应当指出。第一，他们认为妇女为额外的开支而工作，比如度假、服饰、二手车。实际上，妇女因为和男性同样的经济原因而工作——支付房租，购买食品，大学教育费用，退休养老，当然，还有额外的支出。
第二个误区是认为收入差距是女性的问题。这并不正确。

大多数人可以测量他们的地位在工作四P:工资、促销、绩效评估和色彩。对于女人来说,薪水是最大声的人们常说,雇主看重他们如何——或低估它的价值。尽管所得的,很多女人还是赚得,平均来说,只是74%的男人会赚得的每一美元,报告美国人口普查局的数据。

做这道数学题吗:那是26美分每美元丢失。在一个工作一生,潜在的收入共计惊人的损失。举个例子,学院为妇女的政策研究的平均华盛顿推测,29岁的工作的妇女大学学位会失去工资差距990,000美元在她的事业。

强调,是多么的男人和女人之间的收入差距成本妇女,职业妇女afl - cio系于上周发布了不寻常的网站——www. aflcio.org/women/equalpay.htm——因为同等的待遇。一个本网页的访客进入她的简单目前的薪水、年龄、教育程度。画面显示还有多少会使工资差距。

为假设的40岁女性受过大学教育的收入40,000美元,身材844,107美元。在现实生活中,当然,有些女人的损失会更低的——甚至不存在。

工资歧视已经违反法律为35年了。然而系统失业的基础上仍然性别和种族遍及整个工作场所。自从同等的待遇法》生效时于1963年,已经关闭的工资差异的速度在不到半便士一年,给新意义)本法所称的蜗牛。”

女人秘书,例如,赚到大约每周100美元少于男性职员说,根据国家委员会在付费的平等。律师,女性平均周收入近300美元低于男性律师。平均支付女性教授是170元低于男性。清单的差距仍在继续。

两种说法依然存在。首先,妇女的工作——临时演员职业、衣服,第二汽车。事实上,妇女的工作同样的经济原因人——对付房租,买食品,金融受过大学教育的人,储存退休金,是的,买额外的工作,也是。

第二个神话认为,收入差距一个女人的问题。不正确的。
