“家庭妇男”的英语详解
　　你知道丈夫的含义吗？——丈夫、丈夫，一丈之内乃夫也！你知道英文husband是怎么来的吗？husband=house+band房屋栓牢！(band的含义就是Somethingthatconstrainsorbindsmorallyorlegally约束：在道义上或法律上受到限制或约束的事物。比如说thebandsofmarriageandfamily婚姻和家庭的约束)。这当然有玩笑的成分，不过也表明了丈夫和家庭的密切联系。我们都知道housewife是“家庭妇女”的意思，那么，你知道“家庭妇男”用英语该怎么说吗？
　　“家庭妇男”的说法很简单，就是由house房子和husband丈夫组成的，即house-husband。说“家庭妇男”多多少少都带点贬低色彩，而“全职爸爸”则是一个比较中性的说法，指没有负担家庭经济责任的父亲，在现实中，他们生活重心以料理家务、照顾子女或自我休闲为主。

　　Housemaker是house-wife和house-husband的统称。当强调在家照看孩子职责的时候，我们也可以称house-wife为stay-at-homemom，称house-husband为stay-at-homedad。还有一种"domesticengineer"的委婉说法，不过这种说法多少对居家者有种讽刺挖苦的味道，所以一定要慎用。与之类似的"housekeeper"这个词也要小心使用，因为它同样用于挖苦居家者。
