第 95 课:Role Reversal Increases chances Of Heart Attack 角色互换引发心脏病-1

Is your household one where mom stays at home and dad goes out to bring home the bacon, or are you a part of an increasing number of non-traditional families, where the roles have been reversed? New research shows this role reversal may, in fact, be stressful for the heart. 你的家庭是属于母亲留在家中操持家务、父亲出外赚钱养家的呢,还是那种势头渐增的非传统家庭? 在这样的家庭里父母的角色转换了。新研究发现,角色转换实际上可能会给心脏造成压力。

Sean Greene left his career as an architect to stay home with his two sons. Wife, Regan, is an attorney. The idea of Mr. Mom, characterized in the 1980's movie, husbands and wives switching traditional roles. 萧恩曾是一名建筑师,后来辞职在家照看两个儿子。妻子里根是一名律师。奶爸的概念出现在80年代的电影中, 丈夫和妻子交换传统角色。

But don't make the mistake of calling these men Mr. Mom. Sean is a member of the Dad-to-Dad playgroup of Atlanta, and they take their roles very seriously. Matsimo Mariano has a daughter. 千万别错把这些住家男人称为奶爸。萧恩是亚特兰大父亲俱乐部的一员,这些父亲都非常认真地看待自己的责任。马特西默·马利艾诺有一个女儿。

MATSIMO MARIANO 马特西默·马利艾诺
Makes dads feel better because they have a way to talk with other dads. 因为有机会同其他父亲交流, 父亲们感觉好多了。

Men who choose to exchange business cards for strollers and diaper bags may need that kind of support. Findings from a major heart study show that men who have been stay-at-home dads for at least 10 years have an 80 percent-that's right-80 percent greater chance of dying than men who traditionally work outside the home. 那些选择把商业名片换成婴儿车和尿片儿的男人们,也许正需要支持。据一项重要的心脏研究结果:在家时间超过10年的住家父亲,比传统在外工作的男人死于心脏病的机率高80%。没错,高80%。

This finding about househusbands as far as we know has never been examined and it's really an unanticipated finding. 据我们所知,这项关于住家男人的调查结果尚未被证实,但它确实是一项意料之外的发现。

Researchers speculate stress may be the cause of the grim statistic. 研究者推测压力可能是这一可怕统计结果的原因。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE 男被访者
Since we were kids, we were raised to, you know, be the breadwinner, you know take care of the family you know financially and you know, be the macho male guy.
从我们还是小孩子起,就要被培养成将来赚钱养家的人,在经济上照顾家庭,成为有气魄的男人。

ROWLAND 罗兰德
So you weren't really cultured to think that this is what you were going to be doing? 这样说来,你们并非从小就认为照看孩子是你们将来要做的事情?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE 男被访者
No boy grows up thinking you know someday I'm going to stay at home with the kids. 没有哪个男孩认为自己将来会呆在家中照看孩子。
