　　美国一项研究显示，如今女性在职场中的地位可能有所提高，但在家里，她们的事业相比于丈夫而言仍处于次要地位。当夫妻双方的工作时间都很长的情况下，女方辞去工作的可能性更大。

　　Researcher Youngjoo Cha, from Cornell University, found that working women with a husband who worked 50 hours or more a week found themselves still doing most of the housework and the care giving and were more likely to end up quitting their job.

　　康奈尔大学的研究人员查英珠发现，对于丈夫每周工作时间超过50个小时的职业女性而言，她们需要承担大部分家务和照顾家人的任务，所以更有可能辞掉工作。

　　An analysis of 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 nonprofessionals from dual-earner families showed that if women had a husband who worked 60 hours or more per week it increased the woman's odds of quitting her paid job by 42 percent.
