問題詳情:
I am a working woman with a secret life: I keep off-an-on lawyer and professor in public,in private I launder and clean,cook and devote serious time and energy to a domestic(家務的)routine,not so different from my grandmothers did as "housewives."When I want a good read,I reach for my collection of old housekeeping handbooks.I enjoy housekeeping and the comforts it provides.
I have almost entirely hidden this passion for housekeeping though I am writing a long story about one meeting me for the first time would doubt that I spend my time knitting and remembering household facts.I knew I would not want this information about me to get r all,I belong to the first generation of the women who worked more than they stayed home.
Being viewed as over domestic can get you socially I made hand-rolled pasta(義大利麵)for a dinner,I learned the hard way that some guests will find this annoying,as they do not feel comfortable eating a meal that they regard as the product of too much my son was in nursery school,I made the mistake of spending a few hours sewing for him a Halloween dressing,receiving hard stares of many fellow parents who had bought a Batman or Esmeralda times my courage in writing the story failed me when painful silences followed my confession(坦白)about the long book,"NO,not a history of housework,an explanation of it—a practical book on how you make the bed and make a comfortable home."I managed to hold on partly because not everyone responded with that stare;there was support as I was struck that no one responded with topic was clearly hot-too hot for some people to handle,heartwarming to others.
