你大概想表达的意思:
我发现在公园里一群孩子在滑滑梯时,家长们对男孩和女孩的态度截然不同。
对女孩子会叮嘱滑滑梯的风险,甚至不让她玩。男孩子却被鼓励去滑滑梯,父母也会较他们怎么独立滑。
这个现象传递的信息就是:女孩子是脆弱的,应该谨慎甚至胆小,而男孩子应该勇敢。
这是我们小时候就接受的观念,我们在成长中对这个观念也耳濡目染,以至于所有人都觉得这就是对的,然后我们把这个观念传递给了下一代。
不会组织语言的人说的:
I find that in the park, when kids play on the slide, parents treat boys and girls differently. Girls are told about the risk and even not allowed to play. Boys are encouraged to slide, and parents teach them to do it alone.
This teaches us that girls are weak and should be very careful , but boys should be brave. We learned this when we were kids and we will also teach our children one day.

I noticed that when a group of children were playing on the slide in the park, parents had strikingly different attitudes toward boys and girls.
我发现,公园里一群孩子在滑滑梯时,家长对男孩和女孩的态度截然不同。
Girls were very likely to be warned by both their moms and dads about the risk of the slide, and even restricted from sliding. And if the little girls still wanted to play on the slide, a parent was very likely to assist her.
小女孩很可能会被父母双方提醒滑滑梯的风险,甚至被限制滑滑梯。如果小女孩仍想玩滑滑梯,家长很可能会在一旁协助。
But the little boys? They were encouraged to play on the slide despite any trepidations that they might have, and often the parents offered guidance on how to use it on their own.
但小男孩呢?尽管他们可能会有恐惧,仍会被鼓励去玩滑滑梯,而且父母常常会指导他们如何独立使用滑滑梯。
trepidation /ˌtrepɪˈdeɪʃn/n. 恐惧;不安;疑虑
So what message does this send to both boys and girls? Well, that girls are fragile and more in need of help, and that boys can and should master difficult tasks by themselves. It says that girls should be fearful and boys should be gutsy.
那么,这给男孩和女孩传递了什么信息呢?那就是女孩是脆弱的,更需要帮助;而男孩能够也应该独自完成困难的任务。这意味着女孩应该胆小,男孩应该勇敢。
fragile /ˈfrædʒaɪl/adj. 易碎的;脆弱的;虚弱的
This is the message that we absorb as kids. This is the message that fully permeates as we grow up.
这是我们小时候就接受的观念。这是我们在成长过程中完全耳濡目染的观念。
permeate /ˈpɜːmieɪt/v. 渗透;弥漫;扩散
We women believe it, men believe it, and guess what? As we become parents, we pass it on to our children—and so it goes.
我们女性相信它,男性也相信它。你猜怎么着?当我们成为父母后,又会把它传递给我们的孩子,如此循环往复。
