大作文练习--- 汉译英--- 夫妻是否应该平分家务

In many countries nowadays, more and more women have full-time jobs as men, so it is logical that men and women should share housework tasks equally(like cleaning and looking after children).To what extent do you agree or disagree?


观点：部分同意，男性应该分担，但不一定平分。
body1：
过去女性不工作，男性工作挣钱→女性应该承担更多家务
但如今 女性走入职场→对家庭有经济贡献，同时分散精力给工作→男性应该分担家务
这样双方都能达到工作和家庭的平衡。
body2：
虽然这样做是合理的，但不一定要平分家务。
因为：完全平分家务劳动不切合实际。
应根据夫妻双方工作强度和优势分担家务。
结尾：
总结观点

An increasing number of women are indeed entering the workforce and some argue that this modification entitles wives the right to share their housework with husbands. I would agree with the idea that men and women should undertake household duties together but in a more practical way rather than equally distributing the tasks.

While a higher proportion of women are stepping forward in their own careers, it is justifiable to make men contribute more to housekeeping. There was a time that when most females stayed at home and cared for other family members in all the respects were firmly connected with domestic affairs, while their counterparts taking charge of issues mostly outside the house. Today, however, the roles have changed by women transforming to another breadwinner of the family. With women's vigor being partaken by workplaces and their financial contribution to the domestic income, their obligations of house chores should also be allocated to, in most circumstances, their spouses. Therefore, both genders of the families would enjoy a balanced life between work and home.

Although liberating women from heavy trifles at home is reasonable, it does not necessarily mean equal distribution. It is unpractical impractical to separate daily household tasks precisely into two same parts for the spouses to share. In my opinion, a more plausible way to tackle the issue would be an assignment based on people's workloads and their strong points, which means the amount of housework on one's schedule could be decided by how much time and energy one could set aside for home and whether the allocated items match his or her merits. For this reason, I believe the housework-sharing issue should not be regulated in a uniform pattern but suiting suited to individual situations.

To recapitulate, while I am partially in favor of assigning more family responsibilities to men, it would be a more legitimate solution to make it a private decision rather than a social problem.
