全職做母親是一項(xiàng)報(bào)酬最高的工作之一，因?yàn)樗玫氖杖胧羌兗兊膼邸?/FONT>不談別的，養(yǎng)育子女就是愛的表露。一般人可以理解到一個(gè)事實(shí)，在多數(shù)的社會(huì)里，論養(yǎng)育兒童，女人要比男人扮演更大的角色。這一點(diǎn)，倒不是因?yàn)楦笎坌∮谀笎郏且驗(yàn)槟笎鄞_實(shí)有所不同。

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest paid jobs since payment is pure love. More than anything else, parenting is about love. It can be understood as a reality that women, rather than men, play the greater role in raising children in most societies, not that paternal love is less but that maternal love is different.

造成這種事實(shí)的部分緣故在于時(shí)間與耐心，兩樣條件都是女人勝過男人。再說，若說要促進(jìn)和支持一個(gè)小孩的成長，好多方面都必須要顧及得到——生理上的，智力上的，社會(huì)上的，還有最要緊的是親情上的。說來也奇怪，母子連心互動(dòng)的愛是來自直覺反應(yīng)，這種現(xiàn)象并不限于親生母親。更有趣的,母愛又像獨(dú)特又像平凡，全然似非而是。部分的解釋可以這么看，母親時(shí)而親熱，時(shí)而責(zé)罵，其實(shí)在孩子的記憶里一樣都是愛。如此看來，父愛真是有點(diǎn)不一樣了。

Part of that reality is that parenting requires time and patience, both of which women have more than most men do. Besides, to promote and support the development of a child, it is essential to be engaged in many a way—physically, intellectually, socially, and last but not least, emotionally. Curiously, mother-child interactive emotions are inspired by love through natural instinct, often beyond biological relationships. The emotional connection between a mother and her child is is such that maternal love is almost like destiny. It is interesting to note, too, that maternal love is not only both unique and universal but also paradoxical(矛盾的,詭論的,似非而是的). This paradox may in part find expression in that some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, love being the same as remembered. For that matter, fatherly love seems to be somewhat different.

互比之下，父愛通常代表嚴(yán)父的形象，比較偏于管教的價(jià)值，教導(dǎo)孩子將來怎樣能夠生存與發(fā)達(dá)于浩浩緊迫的世界里。先提一件事，多數(shù)當(dāng)父親的都是一家生計(jì)的主要來源，這樣一來陪孩子的時(shí)間也就少于母親，因?yàn)橐话隳赣H照顧孩子，不談放假。總之，從哪一方面看，父親養(yǎng)育子女的工作接近于兼差或季節(jié)性。再舉一個(gè)經(jīng)典實(shí)例來證明此事，單身母親的成績好過單生父親。論結(jié)果，如果沒有額外因素，幾乎可以肯定女人單親勝于男人單親。這種情況不會(huì)有很大的改變，即使當(dāng)母親的人也像父親一樣需要在外工作討生計(jì)。

In comparison, the image of paternal love is more typical of a strict father placing a strong value on discipline as a means to survive and thrive in a usually harsh world. For one thing, most fathers are principal bread-winners in the family and thus may spend less time with their children than does the average mother who enjoys no holidays in raising kids. After all, in all appearances a father's work in parenting tends to be part-time and seasonal. The situation of single parenting is a classic example to prove that a woman is better than a man as a parent. For results, chances are that a single mother can outdo a single father, other things being equal. This situation has not changed dramatically even though more women are having paid jobs like men.

回頭作結(jié)論，論養(yǎng)育兒女，母親好過父親的道理主要在于天生的親情連貫，可以說是自然界的一種真相，而這種表現(xiàn)又與許多野生動(dòng)物的母愛相同。所以，雖說小孩對(duì)父母都愛，只是養(yǎng)育之責(zé)，就以直覺感受而言，女人勝過男人。現(xiàn)實(shí)具體也可以證明，每當(dāng)慶祝母親節(jié)總是比父親節(jié)來得帶勁，這也是表率母親的工作比較獻(xiàn)身，所以也應(yīng)該比較得到更多愛的補(bǔ)償。

To conclude, women are better parents than men chiefly because of the difference in emotional connection and such difference seems to be part of Nature, being true also of many species of female animals in the wildlife. Such kinds of things as nurturing the kids are instinct in females rather than in males, given that children are of course equally loved by fathers and mothers. The phenomenon in which Mother's Day seems to be more heartily celebrated than Father's Day may just symbolize that a mother's work is surely more sacrificing and therefore more rewarding, for pure love's sake.
