校门口聊全职爸爸:stay-at-home dad

校门口,家长聊起马特:他是「妈妈堆里唯一的爸爸」。有人提到 househusband(家庭主夫),马上被纠正:他们更愿意被叫 stay-at-home dad(全职爸爸);聊到他辞职带娃,又一句 save someone's butt(帮人解围/救场)。家长寒暄、纠正称呼都用得上。

发生了什么

学校门口,家长们聊起马特:他是「妈妈堆里唯一的爸爸」。有人用 househusband(家庭主夫)这个词,有人马上纠正,说他们更喜欢 stay-at-home dad(全职爸爸)这个叫法;又提到他当年辞职带娃,用一句很口语的 save someone's butt(帮人解围/救场)说这忙帮大了。随后有人请朱尔斯为聚餐带牛油果酱,还预设她没时间做。后半段一句反问把话题带到对职场妈妈的挑剔。家长寒暄、委婉请求、替人解围,都能从这几句里学到说法。

关于这一章的问题

stay-at-home dad 是什么意思?

指全职在家照顾孩子的爸爸。台词里有人说,他们更愿意被叫作 stay-at-home dad,而不是 househusband(家庭主夫)。

「帮人解围」英语怎么说?

可以说 save someone's butt。台词里聊到马特辞职带娃时,一句 Totally saved our butts 就是「帮人解围/救场」。

not sure if 在句子里起什么作用?

它用来委婉地说「不确定是否」。台词里先来一句 not sure if you got our e-Mail,再接着说聚餐安排,比直接追问更客气。

「都什么年代了」英语怎么说?

台词里 It's 2015 接在「走正道真累」之后,用年份表示「都什么年代了」,觉得这种事早该过时;换到今天就说 It's 2026(都 2026 年了)。

a sea of 在句子里是什么意思?

字面是「一大片海」,台词里 a sea of moms 指「一大片妈妈」,也就是妈妈人数非常多,马特是其中唯一的爸爸。
