短對(duì)話：

　　A:Does your wife work?

　　你的妻子工作嗎？

　　B:Yes, she does. She works at home.

　　是的，她在家工作。

　　A:Oh, I understand. She cooks, cleans and takes care of children. Is that right?

　　哦，我明白了。她做飯，打掃屋子，看孩子，對(duì)嗎？

　　B:Oh, no. Most of the time I do these things. She is a writer.

　　哦，不。大多數(shù)時(shí)間是我干這些活。她是個(gè)作家。

　　A:You are reallya hen-pecked husband.

　　你可真是個(gè)“妻管嚴(yán)”呀。

　　重點(diǎn)單詞

　　hen-pecked表示“受老婆虐待或怕老婆的人”，所以a hen-pecked husband指的是“怕老婆的人”，和中文的“妻管嚴(yán)”類似。

　　支持范例：

　　He is a hen-pecked husband and his wife wears the trousers on all the matters.

　　他是個(gè)“妻管嚴(yán)”，家里事無(wú)巨細(xì)全由老婆說了算。

　　He never does anything without asking his wife first—he's a completely hen-pecked husband.

　　他做任何事都要首先請(qǐng)示他老婆—他是個(gè)十足的“妻管嚴(yán)”。

　　Yes, everyone knows he is a hen-pecked husband.

　　對(duì)呀，大家都知道他家有母老虎。
