Women might be on a more even footing at work but at home their careers tend to take a back seat to their husband's job with women most likely to quit when both are working long hours, according to a U.S. study.
美國一項(xiàng)研究顯示，如今女性在職場中的地位可能有所提高，但在家里，她們的事業(yè)相比于丈夫而言仍處于次要地位。當(dāng)夫妻雙方的工作時(shí)間都很長的情況下，女方辭去工作的可能性更大。
這里的"take a back seat"就是"允許他人領(lǐng)先,甘愿居于人下,退居幕后"的意思.
To allow somebody else to play a more active and important role in a particular situation than you do.
After forty years in the business, it's time for me to take a back seat and let someone younger take over.
在商海中拼殺了40年,現(xiàn)在我該退居二線,讓年輕人來接班了.
