Probably. Yeah. And that’s no bad thing.Go the revolution!
也许，也不是坏事！改革万岁！
Sarah and Geoff there.In their household, Geoff does more chores because Sarah finds them boring and she also does more paid work.She thinks people should do the minimum amount of housework – or least amount needed – to get by.
上述是Sarah和Geoff的对话。在他们家，Geoff做的家务更多，因为Sarah觉得家务很无聊，而且她的工作薪资更高。她觉得过得去就行的事应该尽可能的少做。
And to get by means to achieve something with difficulty.
get by是指完成有困难的事。
So Geoff does most of the cooking and cleaning in their house– which as we discussed earlier on, isn’t usually the case for men.He doesn’t seem to mind, though, does he?
所以Geoff在家里承担了大部分的做饭和打扫工作。就像我们之前讨论过的，不像是男性经常会做的事。他看起来并不介意，不是吗？
That’s right.He says switching roles is no bad thing – in other words, it’s a good thing!
没错。他说角色转换也不是坏事。换句话说，就是好事！
Yey. Go the revolution! Just don’t include me, because I’m with Sarah.I hate housework.
是的！改革万岁！不要算上我，我是站在Sarah一边的。我讨厌家务。
OK, well let’s assume that Sarah and Geoff aren’t typical of most families,and consider the serious implications of women doing more of the household chores.Some domestic tasks can be strongly gendered – or specific to one sex.For example, doing the laundry, organizing your children’s school and social lives are often jobs that women do.
我猜Sarah和Geoff这种并不是典型的家庭模式，想想人们通常暗示女性要做更多的家务。一些家务有很强的性别倾向，也就是专门适合一个性别。例如，洗衣，送孩子上学，社交，大部分都是女性来做。
But putting the rubbish out or fixing a leaky tap – those are work many people still see as men’s jobs.
但是倒垃圾，修漏水的水龙头，这些人们通常认为是男性应该做的。
Well, I put the rubbish bins out in my household, Neil.Anyway, this means women often spend significantly more time doing chores at home, juggling this with paid work.
在我家都是我倒垃圾。总之，这是指女性经常会花费大量时间做家务，同时还要兼顾自己的工作。
Yes, that sounds like a lot. I can see I’m going to have to get my pinny on a bit more at home, Alice.
没错，听上去很多都是这样。看来我也应该多点时间在家围上围裙做家务了。
I hope you do, Neil, because a bit more give and take at homecould help improve a working mum’s prospects of getting promoted at work and earning more.And for those of you unfamiliar with the word, pinny – or pinafore – means apron.
希望如此，因为在家多一点妥协，这会帮助在职的妈妈们提高晋升和加薪的可能。也许你不太熟悉这些词，pinny 或者说pinafore是指围裙。
And give and take means compromise.
give and take是指妥协。
