很多媽媽為了照顧孩子，都會放棄自己的事業(yè)追求；女兒們也是一樣，父母老了以后，為了照顧他們，就會選擇“女兒職業(yè)道路”。

Daughter track is a career path where a woman reduces her chances of advancement by working flextime or fewer hours to look after her elderly parents.

“女兒職業(yè)道路”是指女性為照顧年老的父母，利用彈性時間工作或減少工作時長，從而減少了自己職業(yè)晉升機會的一種職業(yè)發(fā)展道路。

Daughter track這個詞與mommy track（母親職業(yè)道路）相對，后者指母親為照顧孩子而采取的同樣做法。

Example:

The survey found that women were more likely to shoulder responsibilities for caring for the elderly and take a so-called "daughter track" approach, in which their careers are slowed as they juggle work and parental care.

研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，女性更可能肩負起照顧老人的責任，走上所謂的“女兒職業(yè)道路”。她們力圖兼顧工作和照顧父母，但職業(yè)發(fā)展卻因此受阻。
