半边天

Half the Sky

Up half the sky

顶半边天

Women hold up half the sky.

妇女能顶半边天。

Women of the new society 

新社会的妇女

They do not hold half the sky, but the whole sky.

不是顶半边天而是顶整个天。

Ever since I was a little girl,

在我们还是小女孩的时候，

we all held it as an indisputable truth

我们就懂得一条千真万确的道理：

that "women hold up half the sky",

女人能顶半边天，

that "women are just as good as men".

男女都一样。

There are a number of capable women who have the ability to create an impact in society.      不少能干的女性有“手遮半边天”的好本事。
