the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese.
(89) For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside
their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard
decision. Perhaps the easiest choice has to do with economics.
One husband said, "Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her
to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldn’t afford".
(90) With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that
with babysitters, transportation, and increased taxes, rather than having more
money, they might actually end up with less. Economic
factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most
important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the
emotional needs of each member of the family. (91) It is in this area that
husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting
feelings. (92) There are many women who find that
homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with
a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who
think that homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction. From
my own experience, I would like to suggest that sometimes the decision to go
back to is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret
more. I wasn’t mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. (93)
I regret my impatience to get on with my career; I wish I had allowed myself
the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.
