Let’s hear now from Professor Jonathan Gershuny, co-director at the Centre for Time Use Research at Oxford University,talking about why it’s important to protect your earning capacity – or ability to earn money.
我们听听牛津大学时间使用研究中心的主任Jonathan Gershuny的看法，他会讲述为什么维护好自己赚钱的能力很重要。
Nowadays, half of all marriages fail… you know…it’s not a reasonable expectation that you’re going to stay married to the same chap indefinitely. And if under these circumstances you’ve been out of the labour force looking after the kidswhile he builds up his earnings capacity by working long hours at work and then he runs off with his secretary, well he departs with his earnings power, and you’re left with the baby.
如今，一半的婚姻都是失败的，对于你想永远和一个人在一起来说，这个比例不是合理预期。如果你不工作，在家带孩子，而男性在外长时间工作，积累赚钱手段，之后他会跟秘书跑掉，带着他的赚钱能力离开，而你只能和小孩一起被抛弃。
Professor Jonathan Gershuny. But actually, these days, quite a few men take care of the children while their wives or partners work full time.
上述是Jonathan Gershuny教授的观点。但如今有很多男性照顾孩子，而女性在外全职工作。
And she might run off with her secretary. But the main issue here is that both partners – whether male or female – should protect their earnings capacity.Now, I think it’s time for the answer to today’s quiz question, Neil.I asked you: What percentage of men take responsibility for giving the house a weekly clean, according to a recent online survey by the UK organization, Mumsnet?Is it… a) 1%, b) 5% or c) 10%?
那她也许会和她的秘书跑掉。主要问题在于双方，不管是男性还是女性，都要维护好自己的赚钱能力。我觉得是时候公布今天问题的答案了。我问你：多少男性会负责每周打扫房子，根据英国Mumsnet机构的最新在线调查？a) 1%, b) 5% 还是 c) 10%?
I said c) 10%.
我选的是 c) 10%。
And you were wrong, I’m afraid, Neil! The answer is actually b) 5%.Mumsnet asked nearly 1,000 working mothers about the distribution of tasks in their homes.Now, can we hear the words we learned today, please?
恐怕你回答错了。正确答案是b) 5%。Mumsnet调查了1000名在职妈妈，关于她们在家的家务分配情况。现在我们再听一遍学到的单词吧？
