最近貌似“女主外男主内”的情形越来越普遍，我的朋友圈儿里好多对夫妻都是这种模式。丈夫在家洗衣做饭带娃，太太在外叱咤风云。

Recently it seems like situations in which wives go out to work and husbands stay at home are getting more and more common. In my circle of friends many couples follow this model. The husband stays at home and does the laundry, makes dinner and looks after the children, while the wife makes her mark in the working world.

对我们东方人来说，真正恐怖的应该是日韩的一些电影，这些电影没有很血腥的画面，但会在一些现实的环境中营造令人窒息的气氛，让我感觉一转身就能遇见鬼，代表电影有《鬼娃娃花子》、《午夜凶铃》等。

For us Easterners, real horror is the Japanese and Korean films, films that don't have scenes of gore, but rather involve certain real-life situations will create an atmosphere of suffocation, giving me the feeling that I'll see a ghost as soon as I turn around. Representative films include 'Hanako-san' and 'The Ring'.

现在生娃容易养娃难，养大一个孩子的成本太高了。网上有人做了统计，在上海把一个孩子抚养长大就要两百多万，孩子是“奢侈品”，生两个孩子拼的是经济实力。

Nowadays having a child easy, but raising it is hard. The cost of raising a child is too high. On the internet, someone came up with a statistic that raising a child in Shanghai requires more than 2 million RMB. Children are “luxury goods”. Having two children together is a sign of economic strength.
