Creating lesson...
1
Today, we will talk about a very famous Chinese word.
2
男主外,女主内.
3
You heard it?
4
主 means to be a member or to be a member.
5
男主外 means to be a member of the outside work.
6
For example, working, social media.
7
女主内 means to be a member of the outside work.
8
For example, to do housework, to do food, to do children.
9
照顾父母等等 比如说爸爸每天去公司上班 妈妈每天在家做饭
10
很多传统的中国家庭 尤其是老年人家庭 都是这样的分工
11
所以从表面上看 这句话其实非常简单 它说的是一种分工
12
一个人负责外面的东西 一个人负责里面的东西 并不是在说谁更重要
13
谁更不重要 只是说每个人负责的事情不一样 但是在现代社会里 这句话又不只是分工
14
有更多别的意思 你可能同意也可能反对 Hello 你们好
15
欢迎来到我的频道 很招心认识你们 我是Stella 你们也可以叫我溜溜 在这里我会和你们一起用最地道的方式 学习中文 说到男主外女主内
16
那我可以先用自己的家庭来举一个例子 我没结婚
17
所以我说我的家庭是我和我的爸爸妈妈 我的家庭不算是特别传统的中国家庭 但也不是完全现代的
18
是在传统和现代的中间 我的爸爸妈妈他们都有工作
19
而且在我们小县城里 他们的工作也是比较体面的 雖然工资不太高 但社会地位还可以
20
所以从这个角度看 他们两个人其实都会工作 都会赚钱 但是在家里的分工
21
就会有一点不一样 比如说做家务照顾孩子 我妈妈会做得更多 当然不是说我爸爸完全不错 但可能是70%是我妈妈
22
然后30%是我爸爸 在外面的工作 I think it's the same.
23
70% is my father, and 30% is my mother.
24
My father is working more, and he is more money.
25
So you will find that in a more modern family,
26
the male and the male are not a perfect idea.
27
Two people will do things together, But the two people are not the same.
28
Actually it's not just my home.
29
I have a lot of friends and friends.
30
They are the same.
31
Father is more than a job.
32
I have more money.
33
Mother is more than a family.
34
So in many situations, we can also say this is a type of a type of a type of type.
35
Of course, there are some different kinds.
36
For example, the family is Mother, working more, money more, and father working more, and help children more.
37
We can say, women are in the same way, men are in the same way.
38
There is another way, which is now more than the young people like the way.
39
Two people work, all money, and also work together, and help children.
40
It's also two people, both in the same way, and in the same way.
41
So I think these methods are not correct.
42
It's just that different families chose different ways and different ways, but they're the goal of the same way.
43
It's for the way to make the family better.
44
I want to ask you, if you haven't married, your father and mother has a different way of doing what kind of a different way?
45
If you have a married, what time is your family?
46
Please the Chinese in the comments section.
47
When you think about these issues, you may also find a thing.
48
In many families, who do what do what do you do?
49
Sometimes it will affect who do what do you do.
50
Now we think about a very simple question.
51
If a family is a person working on a job, a person is doing a job,
52
That's how to make some small decisions.
53
For example, to where to eat food?
54
Or to buy a more expensive thing?
55
To buy a car or a house?
56
To buy a lot?
57
To go to what place?
58
These things are usually who decide to decide.
59
Of course, the family is together to decide.
60
But in some cases, You may be more than happy to hear the people outside working.
61
Because he is every day working and spending money.
62
So many people think that his opinion is more accurate and less.
63
So it's more important.
64
So there will be a very interesting question.
65
In many families, who do what are the most important things will become the most difficult decision.
66
Now let's think about what is the most important thing.
67
What is the most important thing about the most important things?
68
Or are they also the most important thing about the different people's family?
69
Who said it?
70
I'm going to say that my family is the most important thing.
71
Um, just like we said, my family is almost like a male-wide, female-wide.
72
My father works more and more money.
73
That's not a different time for my father's time.
74
Their family's position is not quite different.
75
So my father's position is more than my mother's position.
76
If we need to make some important decisions, we almost all hear my father's word, very rarely hear my mother's word.
77
And my mother also very accept this one There are times when she has different ideas
78
But I will listen to my father For example, when I graduated from college
79
I would choose to graduate I know I like to speak
80
But my mother and my father have different ideas
81
My father would think I think that the children should be a professional with the financial management.
82
At that time, I didn't really keep my thoughts on my own, so I still listened to my father.
83
Of course, I'm now more and more.
84
I'm not listening to my father.
85
I'm with who I am, what I want to do, what I want to do, what I want to live in which city.
86
I think
87
it's a big thing.
88
I will say that they will be more connected to their thoughts.
89
If I get married, if I get married, I hope that I and my wife,
90
my future wife can be made to decide to be more connected to their thoughts.
91
没有谁比谁的家庭地位更高 也没有谁比谁更重要 所以你会发现不同的家庭差别很大
92
你们的家庭是什么样的分钟方式呢 欢迎你在评论区里告诉我
93
那为什么会出现这样的情况呢
94
为什么在很多的家庭里赚钱更多的人更容易做决定 我觉得第一个原因是钱真的很重要 中文里有一句很有名的话
95
I think the first reason is that money is really important.
96
In the English language, there is a very famous word, money is not possible, but no money is not possible.
97
This word means that money cannot solve all the problems, but if you have no money, many things you really do not.
98
For example, you have to eat, you have to住 a house, you have to go to school, you have to go to school,
99
甚至你只是想做一种很稳定而且很简单的生活 这些都离不开钱 所以在现实生活里
100
谁能更稳定的赚钱 赚更多钱 谁就更容易变成家里最重要的那个人
101
因为我们都很依赖钱 所以我们都很依赖这个人 即使一个人的想法再对
102
再好 再有意义 但是如果这个人没有钱 那他的想法就不可能实现
103
虽然我们一直在说钱不是最重要的 钱不是最重要的 但是它也真的很重要
104
对吧 这种重要有时候不是大家直接说出来的 而是大家心里会慢慢有一种感觉这个家里不开它 所以在做决定的时候 大家就更容易听它的
105
The second reason is that people always think that people work outside are more visible than the other.
106
They are always aware of the people who are with the friends, with the friends, with the boss, with the boss.
107
They also know the people who are in society and the rules.
108
They have seen the things too many.
109
They have seen the things that are all different.
110
They have seen the success or the失敗.
111
So many people will think that he can see more and more.
112
In the Chinese, there is a word called 見多識廣
113
意思就是
114
一個人看得多、經歷得多 他的知識和經驗也會更多 所以也更適合做決定 但這裡有一個很有意思的問題 這種想法不一定對 Because in the house,
115
to help children, to help children, to help them, to make decisions.
116
But in society, many people think that the experience of the outside experience is more valuable than the home experience.
117
The third reason I think is very important.
118
That is, we can see money.
119
We can see money.
120
But the work of the home is sometimes not visible.
121
For example, the person this year has got a lot of money, how much money, how much money, how much money, how much money, how much money, how much money,
122
how much money, how much money.
123
These are all numbers, numbers are very clear.
124
They are very clear.
125
So it is very easy to see and understand.
126
But as a job, a job, a job, a job, a job, a job of children, these things are very hard.
127
But it's hard to use a clear number to express
128
You can say that this month has been 200 hours of work So my value is what?
129
It's just that the outside work is more than seen And the home work is more than seen
130
And when we introduce a person, he is a teacher, he is a doctor
131
It's just that we are very used to use a job to introduce a person.
132
But we rarely say that he's a child every day.
133
So, you will get more and more affection, and you will get more and more attention to a job.
134
And you will not see a job in a family.
135
But actually, a family will be more and more.
136
It's not just because there are people who are paying money, but it's because there are people who are doing a lot of things.
137
So you will find that there are no people who are not not公平.
138
It's because we are not easy to see money and too easily rely on money.
139
It's not easy to see money.
140
In this situation, there are times some people will think that because they are paying money,
141
so they should be more than one of a decision.
142
You should have to say it.
143
In English, this idea is called ''大男子主義''.
144
In English, there is a similar word.
145
It's a simple word.
146
First, it's a good thing.
147
Second, it's not a good thing.
148
Here we have to figure out a thing.
149
The男主外, the女主内, is not equal to the男主主義.
150
If this is a choice of two people, and they are both loving each other, it is just a way to make a difference.
151
But in some cases, it may not be the same.
152
I have a friend, I think he is a very male-like man.
153
I would like to share these things with him.
154
But he said, no, don't do it.
155
Why do you do a woman's job?
156
Um, I have always said that I'm always a big fan of my father.
157
I have always said that I'm not tired of my father, but I'm always a big fan of my father.
158
I really have always a big fan of my father.
159
I have always been a big fan of my father and I'm tired of my family.
160
But it is my choice.
161
I hope my friends and family can be respected my choice.
162
Don't be a man-man-man-主義.
163
So here I am going to discuss that Men of women in this way, that this work is not a problem because every family has been different
164
There is a family that needs to be more active in the outside
165
There is a family that needs to be more active in the outside There is a family
166
that may be more active in the outside of your life So the problem is not in which one is out, which one is in which one is out And in order to be able to make this decision,
167
we are not going to be able to choose.
168
If you have both of them in a real discussion, and you feel it is more suitable for your family, that, if it's not in your family,
169
or not in your family, or even in your family, because this is their own choice.
170
But if you have a person who doesn't want to, It's because of the pressure of families and society,
171
they don't have to choose this.
172
This hour although it is normal, it is not fair, it is very fair.
173
It's not a respect for you.
174
Many people say it is a respect for you.
175
But it is a very specific thing.
176
You will be aware of the people's opinions.
177
You will not think that they're doing the things that they're very important.
178
You will not be able to get money from you.
179
You will feel that you have a higher position.
180
This time, not a few minutes, but a person is being ignored.
181
It's not a fair relationship.
182
So, to say, a family is important to see who is more than a lot, who is more than a lot, who is more than a lot.
183
而是要看这个家庭里的两个人 能不能互相理解 互相支持 互相尊重 也许有人主外
184
有人主内 不管怎么样都可以 最重要的是 不要让分工不同 慢慢变成地位不同 不要让赚钱更多 慢慢变成更值得被尊重
185
那最后我想问你两个问题 第一个问题 在你的家庭里 平时都是谁 做决定
186
第二个问题 你觉得这种方式是很自然的 还是是因为习惯或者压力

Practice Tips
To enhance your English speaking practice, try using a shadowing app or shadowing site while listening to the provided transcript. Focus on mimicking the speaker's tone, pace, and emphasis as you practice. Given the conversational nature of the video, listen carefully to the rhythm and pronunciation of key phrases like "家务" and "照顾孩子" as you repeat them. Start by pausing frequently after short phrases to match the speaker's intonation until you feel comfortable with the speed.
Moreover, take notes on the vocabulary mentioned and practice using them in your sentences. This not only improves your vocabulary but also helps you in creating meaningful sentences, a crucial aspect of speaking practice. Engaging with this content on YouTube allows you to learn English with YouTube effectively, as you can watch and listen simultaneously.
Finally, consider recording your voice as you practice shadow speech. Listening to your recordings can help identify areas for improvement in pronunciation and fluency. Consistent practice will lead to greater speaking confidence, especially when discussing cultural concepts and family dynamics in your English conversations.
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
