The income levels of older working women are generally lower than those of men; many never worked outside the home until their children were grown and then only at unskilled, low-paying jobs. Others who worked all their lives typically received low wages, with lower social security and private retirement benefits as a result.
考点:income level:收入水平;typically:通常;low wage:低工资
句子结构:第一句话的句子主干是“(女性的)收入水平低于男性(的收入水平)”,“年龄稍大一些的工作女性的”是定语,可以用介词of表示;后面的“男性(的工资水平)”是省略,可以用those指代。“只有在孩子长大后”是时间状语,可用until表示。“工作了一辈子的”是定语,修饰“女性”,其中包含动词,可以用who引导定语从句。
