丁克家庭之后的奈特爾家庭

　　Not Enough Time To Enjoy Life, or NETTEL, refers to the rising pool of households headed by two high-income-earning, full-time-working parents with dependent children.

　　NETTEL（Not Enough Time To Enjoy Life，無(wú)暇享受生活，簡(jiǎn)稱“奈特爾”）指夫妻為高收入全職人員、家中又有孩子需要照顧的家庭。

　　Here are two parents working full-time earning lots of money but struggling to balance the commitments that come with a demanding job and an even more demanding family life. In many families it's a case of got enough money but hasn’t got enough time to enjoy life. These stressed-out Nettel parents are forever scheduling, scheming and diarising about how to execute the next day's events.

　　這樣的家庭中，父母全職工作，收入也不少，但無(wú)法同時(shí)兼顧工作職責(zé)和家庭生活。很多家庭都是有錢(qián)卻沒(méi)時(shí)間享受生活。這些壓力重重的“奈特爾（NETTEL）”父母永遠(yuǎn)都在排日程、列計(jì)劃，記錄著要怎樣完成第二天的大小事兒。

　　And, by some bizarre twist of logic, many of these parents seem to revel in the scheduling frenzy. In a materialistic go-getter world, a couple's ability to juggle and to control life's commercial and familial demands merely confirms their superior "alpha" status.

　　而且，基于某種奇怪的邏輯，這些父母似乎很享受這種日程堆積的狀態(tài)。因?yàn)樵诔缟形镔|(zhì)第一的世界里，一對(duì)夫婦調(diào)節(jié)和掌控財(cái)務(wù)及家庭需求的能力就能夠證明他們超級(jí)“強(qiáng)者”的地位。
