　　One study focused on, coincidentally, a playground fire pole, is particularly revealing. It was published in The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology and showed that parents cautioned their daughters about the dangers of the fire pole significantly more than they did their sons and were much more likely to assist them. But both moms and dads directed their sons to face their fears, with instruction on how to complete the task on their own.

　　词汇突破：coincidentally 碰巧

　　Revealing 发人深省

　　Fire pole 游乐场滑杆

　　Direct 要求

　　Caution 担心

　　解析：The study is particularly revealing.这项研究发人深省。

　　with instruction on how to complete the task on their own. 最后的介词短语在翻译的时候可以翻译为一个句子：指导他们如何独立完成任务。

　　参考译文：一项恰巧关注游乐场滑杆的研究，尤其发人深省。这篇发表在《应用发展心理学杂志》(The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology)上的文章显示，比起对儿子，父母更加担心女儿玩滑杆会遇到危险，而且更倾向于帮助她们。但父母都要求儿子直面恐惧，指导他们如何靠自己完成这项挑战。
