一說到“保姆”,你腦子里出現(xiàn)的是什么形象?溫和善良的中年女性?勤快活潑的小姑娘?這種想法有點(diǎn)過時(shí)啦。現(xiàn)在很多地方都開始培訓(xùn)男保姆了,據(jù)說燒菜、看孩子、搞衛(wèi)生,樣樣都不差呢。對了,他們還有個(gè)特形象的名字,叫manny。
Manny, male nanny, is the new name for young men who take care of other people's children for money.
Manny,也就是男保姆,用來指代為人家看小孩掙錢的青年男子。
Most of the nanny students are young, and the majority are women. Although it is still rare to find guys on traditional nannying courses, attitudes are fast changing. Men of all ages are graduating from nanny schools and snaring places in domestic agencies, they are called mannies.
保姆學(xué)校的大多數(shù)學(xué)員都是年輕人,而且多是女性。雖然在傳統(tǒng)的保姆課程班很少能看到男學(xué)員,但這種觀念正在迅速發(fā)生變化?,F(xiàn)在各個(gè)年齡段的男性正在從保姆學(xué)校涌出,并且在家政公司謀得差事, 他們就被叫做男保姆。
