As the Taiping Rebellion continued to pull China apart, the British sent diplomats to negotiate a brutally one-sided piece.

随着太平天国运动继续分裂中国，英国派外交官就一份残酷的单方面的报复性文件进行谈判。

The failed Taiping Rebellion had left the Qing Dynasty's authority severely weakened, and external pressures from foreign powers were escalating.

太平天国起义的失败使清朝的权威受到严重削弱，来自外国列强的外部压力不断升级。

The Taiping Rebellion was ultimately suppressed, and the Qing Dynasty reinstated its rule, but the tremors of this rebellion were felt long after.

太平天国运动最终被镇压，清朝恢复了统治，但这场叛乱的震撼却是在很久之后才被感受到的。

But, it was just the beginning, and as the Taiping Rebellion progressed, women were to take on even more roles traditionally occupied by men.

但是，这仅仅是个开始，随着太平天国起义的进行，女性将承担更多传统上由男性承担的角色。

The Opium Wars, the Taiping Rebellion, and later, in 1900, the Boxer Rebellion, were constant reminders of government corruption and China's weakness against foreign intrusion and manipulation.

鸦片战争、太平天国起义，以及后来的 1900 年义和团运动，不断提醒人们注意政府腐败和中国在抵御外国入侵和操纵方面的弱点。

However, the Taiping Rebellion's significance lies in the fact that it introduced the possibility of an alternate role for women, sparking the early conversations about gender equality in Chinese society.

然而，太平天国起义的意义在于，它为女性引入了替代角色的可能性，引发了中国社会早期关于性别平等的讨论。

But eventually after another war and one of the most destructive civil rebellions in Chinese and possibly world history, the Taiping Rebellion, the situation was reversed, and Europeans, especially the British, became the dominant economic power in China.

但最终在另一场战争和中国乃至世界历史上最具破坏性的民间叛乱之一——太平天国起义之后， 情况发生了逆转，欧洲人，尤其是英国人， 成为了中国经济的主导力量。
