 私人專(zhuān)屬時(shí)間 me time

老聽(tīng)人說(shuō)：“做女人難，做個(gè)職業(yè)女性更難。”這句話道出的事實(shí)估計(jì)很多人都會(huì)贊同。現(xiàn)代社會(huì)，到處都講“男女平等”，男人要掙錢(qián)養(yǎng)家，女人也要分擔(dān)經(jīng)濟(jì)壓力。可是，家庭中的很多傳統(tǒng)活計(jì)仍然是需要女人們來(lái)操持的，男人們周末在運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)上跟朋友撒汗的時(shí)候，女人可能在家里擦地板。難怪越來(lái)越多的女性雜志開(kāi)始呼吁me time了，忙不完的活計(jì)讓女人們連善待自己的時(shí)間都找不到了。
Me time is a term which has been popularized by all forms of the media geared towards issues of female interest, in particular women's magazines. The idea is that, amidst the stress of 21st century life, a woman finds it increasingly difficult to spend time which is exclusively for her and is not encroached upon by the non-stop demands of work and family.
Me time 是通過(guò)各類(lèi)關(guān)注女性權(quán)益話題的媒體，特別是女性雜志，迅速竄紅的一個(gè)說(shuō)法。它傳遞的思想是，在21世紀(jì)的生活壓力下，女性想要有一段時(shí)間可以專(zhuān)屬于自己，并且免受工作和家庭中無(wú)休止的任務(wù)擺布，是越來(lái)越困難了。
Me time, then, is a period of time when a woman can put herself first and do something that she particularly enjoys to aid relaxation and revitalization. This might be as simple as having a bubble bath or sitting down with a cup of tea, or going on a trip to the gym or a weekend away.
由此，me time就是一段可以讓女性把自己放在首位，可以做一些自己喜歡的事情來(lái)放松自己并幫助自己重新煥發(fā)活力的時(shí)間。這段時(shí)間可做的事情可以是一次泡泡浴或者坐下來(lái)喝杯茶這樣簡(jiǎn)單的小事，也可以是去健身房鍛煉或者周末出行這樣的活動(dòng)。
