谢谢楼上的书友参加。
据我所知，还有stay-at-home的说法，曾有两会宝宝的英文版如此。
就怕stay-at-home可能会引起误解。
Cambridge 的解释：someone who does not like to go to parties or events outside the home and is considered boring
Longman的解释：staying at home, rather than working somewhere else, usually in order to take care of children
Merriam-Webster的解释：: remaining in one's residence, locality, or country; especially : remaining at home especially to tend to children and domestic duties while a spouse is at work
例子：
# Elizabeth was a stay-at-home mother who did many years of voluntary work with the church.
Courier, Sunday Mail (2004)
# Stewart was brought up in a working-class New Jersey home, where her father ruthlessly dominated her stay-at-home mother.
Times, Sunday Times (2002)
看来stay-at-home主要是指不爱交际的、呆家里的、家庭妇女之类的意思。 |
