英语翻译
Over the past century,all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made illegal.But one insidious form continues to thrive:alphabetism.This,for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage,refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.
It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA cars has a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through their phone directories.Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has in life over Zo?Zysman.English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the alphabet.Yet a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.
Thus the American president and vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively; and 26 of George Bush’s predecessors (including his father) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half.Even more striking,six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Berlusconi,Blair,Bush,Chirac,Chrétien and Koizumi).The world’s three top central bankers (Greenspan,Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet,even if one of them really uses Japanese characters.As are the world’s five richest men (Gates,Buffett,Allen,Ellison and Albrecht).
Can this merely be coincidence?One theory,dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged,is that the rot sets in early.At the start of the first year in infant school,teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front,to make it easier to remember their names.So short-sighted Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row,and is rarely asked the improving questions posed by those insensitive teachers.At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape.Yet the result may be worse qualifications,because they get less individual attention,as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.
The humiliation continues.At university graduation ceremonies,the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ.Shortlists for job interviews,election ballot papers,lists of conference speakers and attendees:all tend to be drawn up alphabetically,and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.

在过去的一个世纪,各种不公平和歧视,都被它指责或非法的.但一个阴险的形式继续蓬勃发展：alphabetism .这一点,对于那些尚未意识到这种不利因素,是指受歧视那些姓氏字母开头在低一半的字母.
它长期以来一直被称为一个出租车公司的所谓aaaa车的一大优势超过十二生肖车的时候,客户拇指透过他们的电话簿.少知名,是个好处是亚当雅培公司已经在生活zo 佐兹曼.英文名字都是相当均匀地散布之间成两半的字母表.然而,形迹可疑,一大批拔尖人的姓氏开始与信之间和K
因此,美国总统和副总统的姓氏已开始与B和C分别为26和乔治布什的前任（包括他的父亲）曾姓,在上半年的字母表对刚刚16在下半年才推出.更引人注目的有六个,七个政府首脑,七大工业国的富裕国家也字母优势（贝卢斯科尼说,布莱尔,布什,希拉克,克雷蒂安和小泉首相） .世界上的三位著名的中央银行行长（格林斯潘,Duisenberg的会面,并速水优）都是接近顶部的字母表,即使其中一人,真的使用日语汉字.作为是世界上最富有的5个男人（盖茨,巴菲特,艾伦,艾里森和Albrecht ） .
可这只是巧合吗?有一种理论,梦到了所有闲暇时间享受由字母弱势,是因为腐套在早期.在开始的第一年,在幼儿学校,教师,学生的座位按字母顺序从前面,以使之更容易记住他们的名字.如此短视佐兹曼初级得到停留在后排,很少要求改进所提出的问题,这些不敏感的教师.当时该字母弱势可能认为他们有一个幸运逃脱.但结果可能会更糟资格,因为他们较少受到个别关注,以及缺乏信心,在谈到公开.
屈辱仍在继续.在大学毕业典礼,自动边防自豪地获得奖项第一,由当时他们到达zysmans绝大多数人都是从字面上有译成zzz .最后挑选参加面试,选举的选票上,列出了会议的发言者和参加者：所有倾向于制定字母,其对象失去兴趣,因为它们先灵葆雅通过他们.
