　短对话：

　　A:Does your wife work?

　　你的妻子工作吗？

　　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。她做饭，打扫屋子，看孩子，对吗？

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

　　哦，不。大多数时间是我干这些活。她是个作家。

　　A:You are reallya hen-pecked husband.

　　你可真是个“妻管严”呀。

 

　　重点单词

　　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“妻管严”类似。

　　支持范例：

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

　　他是个“妻管严”，家里事无巨细全由老婆说了算。

　　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请示他老婆—他是个十足的“妻管严”。

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

　　对呀，大家都知道他家有母老虎。
