　　Many men are happiest when making an equal contribution to household chores, according to a University of Cambridge study that concludes what many women might have considered unimaginable.

　　男人在與妻子分擔同等家務活時是最快樂的——這個來自劍橋大學的研究結果可能是許多女人難以想象的吧!

　　“Contrary to expectations, they found that men, not women, benefited from a less traditional gender role divide in household chores,” the introduction to the study reads.

　　這項研究的介紹說，“出乎大家意料的是，他們發現，恰恰是男人，在從事家務活方面減少了性別不等的觀念。”
