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。 |
