A study found that of Millennial men and women who work in an organization with a woman in a senior role,
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，在有一位女性高管的組織中，那些80后、90后的女性中，
only about 20 percent want to emulate her career.
只有20%想要在事業(yè)上與這位高管一爭高下。
This unappealing stereotype is particularly unfortunate since most women have no choice but to remain in the workforce.
由于大多數(shù)女性必須出來工作，這樣的女強人形象看上去就更不幸了。
About 41 percent of mothers are primary breadwinners and earn the majority of their family's earnings.
約有41%的女性承擔著養(yǎng)家重任，她們也是家庭的主要收入來源。
Another 23 percent of mothers are co-breadwinners, contributing at least a quarter of the family's earnings.
還有23%的女性要與丈夫共同養(yǎng)家糊口，她們至少要貢獻家庭收入的1/4。
The number of women supporting families on their own is increasing quickly;
承擔家庭生計的女性數(shù)量在迅速地增加：
between 1973 and 2006, the proportion of families headed by a single mother grew from one in ten to one in five.
在1973年到2006年之間，單親母親家庭的比例從10%上升到了20%。
These numbers are dramatically higher in Hispanic and African-American families.
這一數(shù)字在西班牙裔和非洲裔美國人家庭中更高：
Twenty-seven percent of Latino children and 52 percent of African - American children are being raised by a single mother.
27%的西班牙裔孩子和52%的非洲裔孩子正在由一位單親母親撫養(yǎng)。
Our country lags considerably behind others in efforts to help parents take care of their children and stay in the workforce.
此外，歐洲女性也越來越多地挑起養(yǎng)家糊口的大梁。
Of all the industrialized nations in the world, the United States is the only one without a paid maternity leave policy.
女性在努力照顧孩子的同時，仍繼續(xù)留在職場打拼，在這一點上，美國跟有些國家相比是落后的。在工業(yè)化國家里，美國是唯一一個沒有帶薪產(chǎn)假的國家。
As Ellen Bravo, director of the Family Values at Work consortium, observed, most "women are not thinking about 'having it all,'
正如“家庭價值與工作聯(lián)盟”的理事埃倫·布拉沃所寫的那樣，“大多數(shù)女人從沒想要‘擁有一切’，
they're worried about losing it all—their jobs, their children's health, their families' financial stability,
而是擔心失去一切，包括他們的工作、孩子的健康還有家庭經(jīng)濟的穩(wěn)定性，
because of the regular conflicts that arise between being a good employee and a responsible parent."
因為做一個好職員和一個盡責的母親之間經(jīng)常會發(fā)生沖突”。
