全職媽媽

英文:stay-at-home mom (n.)

說明:stay-at-home 可當名詞和形容詞用,前者意為「深居簡出者,老是留在家裡的人,不愛出門的人,戀家的人」,後者意為「不愛出門的,戀家的」,這裡是用作形容詞。Stay-at-home mom 與 working mom 相對,後者意為「在職媽媽;上班族媽媽」,亦即有孩子的職業婦女或回家還要照顧小孩的職業婦女。

  • Most stay-at- home moms aren’t rich. Sometimes it’s cheaper to stay home than to pay for daycare. (大多數全職媽媽並不富裕。有時自己在家顧小孩比日間托育的花費來得低廉)
