wǒ juéde nánrén nán shì yīnwèi tā yào gù zhe zhěng yī gè jiā ma.
我觉得男人难是因为他要顾着整一个家嘛。
I think being a man is harder, because he needs to take care of the whole family.
ránhòu yālì huì bǐ nǚrén dàyī diǎn.
然后压力会比女人大一点。
So men have greater pressure than women.

zhèxiē dōu shì wéirào zài nánrén shēnshang de.
这些都是围绕在男人身上的。
All these burdens are on men.

nà nǐ de… jiùshì nǐ de qīzi yǒu méiyǒu gōngzuò ne?
那你的…就是你的妻子有没有工作呢？

kěndìng shì yǒu gōngzuò de
肯定是有工作的
Sure, she has a job.
ránhòu rúguǒ qīzi bù gōngzuò dehuà,

ránhòu wánle hái yào děi dài háizi, hái yào děi zuò jiāwù,
然后完了还要得带孩子，还要得做家务，

hái yào děi zhèngqián.
还要得挣钱。
At the same time, they need to make money.
nánrén tā zhǐgù zhèngqián jiù xíng le.
男人他只顾挣钱就行了。
Men only need to make money.
nánrén jiù zhǐ gù zhèngqián jiù kěyǐ le ma?
男人就只顾挣钱就可以了吗？
Men only need to make money, and that’s it?
duì! suǒyǐ nǐ bù juéde shì nǚrén nán yīdiǎn ma?

Can you tell us why they are almost the same?
jiùshì gēnjù gèrén de xìnggé ba, háiyǒu nánxìng de xìngbié ba
就是根据个人的性格吧，还有男性的性别吧
Well, it depends on the person’s personality and gender
nánxìng zhèbiān ne, jiùshìshuō tā juéde…
男性这边呢，就是说他觉得…
If it is a man, he feels that…
nán dehuà, tā kěnéng yě bùhuì tǔlù chūlái
男的话，他可能也不会吐露出来
as a man, he might not tell people the difficulties he has
tā zài wàimiàn dǎpīn
他在外面打拼
when he’s out there struggling for money.

First, let’s talk about why being a man is hard.
nánrén jiùyào zhuànqián yǎngjiā, dāngrán nǚrén yě yào,
男人就要赚钱养家，当然女人也要，
Men need to make money and support the family, sure women do too.

就她有一些特殊的责任会比男人的还更多
have some special responsibilities which are more than men.
yīnwèi tā shēng xiǎohái dehuà,
因为她生小孩的话，
Because after women give birth to a baby,
tā nǚshēng lái zhàogu huì bǐjiào duō yīdiǎn,
她女生来照顾会比较多一点，
the women usually need to take care of them.
qíshí hěn lèi de, nà duàn shíjiān
其实很累的，那段时间
And it can be very tiring during that period.
quèshí! nà nánde ne?
确实！那男的呢？
Indeed! So what about men?
nánde kěnéng yě jiù tūxiǎn zài jiātíng nàxiē,
男的可能也就突显在家庭那些，
The difficulties men have are mostly from having to care for a family.
kěnéng jīngjì láiyuán de zérèn bǐjiào dà yīdiǎn.
可能经济来源的责任比较大一点。
They have greater responsibilities financially.
nà jiùshì xiàng nǐmen èr wèi a, bǐrú shuō zài jīngjì fāngmiàn,
那就是像你们二位啊，比如说在经济方面，
So you guys, for example, regarding financial pressure,
nǐmen shì liǎng gè rén dōu yīqǐ chéngdān,
你们是两个人都一起承担，
do you two both share the responsibility?
háishi zhǐshì nánfāng chéngdān de duō yīdiǎn?
还是只是男方承担的多一点？
Or just the man?
yīqǐ
一起
Both

是妻子还是女朋友？
Is she your wife or girl friend?
qīzi
妻子
Wife
huìbùhuì bāngzhù nǐ de qīzi zài jiā lǐmiàn zhàogu xiǎohái a,
会不会帮助你的妻子在家里面照顾小孩啊，
Do you help your wife take care of the kids

怎么说呢？
How should I put it?
Zhōngguó de nàge… dàbùfen láishuō ba,
中国的那个… 大部分来说吧，
In China, generally,
dōu shì nánde bǐjiào dà nánrén zhǔyì yīdiǎn,
都是男的比较大男人主义一点，
men are chauvinist.
nǚde ne tā jiù huì shāowēi, zěnme shuō ne?
女的呢她就会稍微，怎么说呢？
And women are a little bit… How do I say this?
zài jiātíng dìwèi bǐjiào dī yīdiǎn
在家庭地位比较低一点
Women have a lower status at home.
suǒyǐ wǒ juéde dàbùfen nǚde doū huì bǐ nánde yào nán yīdiǎn.
所以我觉得大部分女的都会比男的要难一点。

那就需要很庞大的经济实力，还有文化基础。
This requires massive financial resources and education.
tóngshí zài gōngzuò zhī yú,
同时在工作之余，
At the same time, besides work,
hái yào zhǎodào nǐ xǐhuan de bànlǚ, duì ba?

Nowadays, there is Didi (similar to Uber),
shénme hěn duō duì nǚshēng ānquán zàochéng…
什么很多对女生安全造成…
you know, a lot of safety issues for woman.
jiùshì nǚshēng chūqù de shíhou, chūxíng de shíhou huì bǐjiào bù ānquán?
就是女生出去的时候，出行的时候会比较不安全？
So you are saying that’s it’s not very safe for women to go out?

男人就没有这方面的问题吗？

As a man, I feel it’s harder to be a man.
wèishénme ne?
为什么呢？

yīnwèi wǒ běnlái jiùshì nánrén ma!
因为我本来就是男人嘛！
Because I am a man myself!
nà nǐ juéde yǒu nǎxiē fāngmiàn ràng nǐ juéde nán ne?
那你觉得有哪些方面让你觉得难呢？
So what are the things that you think are hard?
mǎidōngxi a, chūqù a, gòuwù a, dōu hěn nán, wǒ juéde
买东西啊、出去啊、购物啊，都很难，我觉得

选择也很难啊！
It’s also hard to make decisions.

你指的决定哪些事情呢？
What are the things that you’re talking about?
bǐrú shuō: qù nǎlǐ wán, zěnme gòuwù, mǎi shénme dōngxi,
比如说：去哪里玩、怎么购物、买什么东西、
For example: where to go, what to buy,
duōshao qián, shénme juédìng nàxiē…
多少钱、什么决定那些…
how much money, and so on…
jīběnshang dōu shì nánrén juédìng de, wǒ juéde

all the decisions are basically made by men, in my opinion.
jiùshìshuō nǐ gēn nǐ nǚpéngyou chūqù guàngjiē de shíhou,
就是说你跟你女朋友出去逛街的时候，
So you are saying that when you go shopping with your girlfriend,
huòzhě qù wán de shíhou, dōu shì yóu nǐ lái juédìng zhèxiē shìqing, shì ba?
或者去玩的时候，都是由你来决定这些事情，是吧？
