大家好，欢迎收听六分钟英语，我是爱丽丝。
And I’m Neil.
我是尼尔。
Neil, how often do you do the washing up at home?
你多久打扫一次家？
Oh, you know, on special occasions – like after a Christmas lunch!
哦，只在特殊节日的时候，像圣诞节午餐后。
That’s terrible, Neil!
那太可怕了！
Well, domestic chores are the subject of today’s show.And you know what? I’m not very good at them.
家务琐事是今天节目的主题。你知道吗？我不是很擅长家务。
Domestic means to do with the family or home and a chore is a boring job that needs doing.Not being good at chores sounds like a bad excuse for avoiding housework, Neil.
Domestic是指处理与家庭相关的，chore是指需要做的无聊之事。用不擅长琐事做借口回避家务真的站不住脚哦。
I suppose you’re right.But I wasn’t surprised to learn that on average women spend several more hours a day doing chores at home than men.Maybe men have a higher threshold for dirt and untidiness.
也许你是对的。但不出所料的是平均每天女性做家务的时间要比男性多几个小时。也许男性对脏乱差的忍耐度比较高。
Do you have a high threshold, Neil? 【亲爱的小伙伴们，想了解更多吗？请下载“BBC六分钟英语”APP,随时随地学英语！】
