　　迷你对话：
A: More and more women don’t want to stay at home and keep house now.
现在越来越多的女人不想呆在家里做家务了。
B: This is the result of women’s liberation¹.
这是女性解放的结果。
A: Now, many people think that women’s liberation is a kind of civilization, but children are getting less love from their mother because of that. What is your opinion?
现在许多人认为女性的解放是一种文明，但因此孩子得到的母爱越来越少。你的看法呢？
B: I have no idea.
我不知道。
地道表达：keep house
解词释义：keep是“保持”，引申为“收拾，料理”。例如：keep a lawn（养护草地），keep a farm（照料农场），那么keep house自然就是“持家”的意思了。
支持范例：
Many men don't appreciate how much work it takes to keep house and cook three meals a day.
许多男人不理解操持家务和一天做三顿饭要干多少活。
Lt's not easy work to keep house.
