Letztens sollte ich einen Text übersetzen und ich verstand nicht was 'adult peers' heißen soll.
Ich habe es mit 'erwachsene Gleichgesinnten' übersetzt, da Gleichaltrige hier ja keinen Sinn macht wegen dem adult.
Mein Lehrer meinte, dass es das Gegenteil hier bedeuten würde, jedoch kann ich mir darunter nicht wirklich was vorstelle im nachhinein.
Hier der Absatz in dem es vorkam:
Pollina thinks that the computer curriculum must undergo a similar user-friendly retooling,
and also believes the number of female computer science graduates could improve if their adult peers change their expectations.
Yale freshman Kaitlyn Trigger, who studied under Schleunes, says that girls must learn programming
if they are to have a successful technology career.
Falls Kontextprobleme sein sollten hier der gesamte Text: ( http://technews.acm.org/articles.cfm?fo ... 0122w.html )
"Where the Girls Aren't"
New York Times--Education Life (01/12/03) P. 35; Stabiner, Karen
Opinions are divided as to why computer programming is unpopular among girls: One camp subscribes to the theory that girls are socially conditioned to avoid computer science, while another reasons that they are naturally disinclined toward the field. "The wanting to know how things work, that's often what boys want to know," observes Hope Chafiian, director of technology and curriculum at Spence. Westover School principal Ann Pollina estimates that women account for fewer than one-third of all computer and information science bachelor's degrees, and just 18 percent of advanced degrees; the ratio of male computer programmers to female programmers in industry is four to one. Girls' reluctance to study programming could threaten the U.S. domination of the programming industry, according to Kurt Schleunes of the Marlborough School in Los Angeles. He believes that a lot of women are put off by the Advanced Placement curriculum, and suggests that it be revamped so that it is more girl-friendly--such revisions include a de-emphasis on mathematics and a greater concentration on practical applications. Pollina thinks that the computer curriculum must undergo a similar user-friendly retooling, and also believes the number of female computer science graduates could improve if their adult peers change their expectations. Yale freshman Kaitlyn Trigger, who studied under Schleunes, says that girls must learn programming if they are to have a successful technology career.
