毕竟，任何人都可以在广告中打出“弹性工作”招牌。但是，如果人际关系网上的熟人告诉你，她已经几个月没能准时回家哄孩子睡觉了，那你就得悠着点儿了。

Anybody can toss the word "flexibility" into a job AD, after all, but if someone you know on LinkedIn tells you she hasn't been home in time to tuck her kids into bed in months, beware.

现在她已经不见踪影，睡觉去了，我又沉思了一两个钟头，虽然我的头和四肢痛得不想动，可是我也得鼓起勇气去睡觉了。

And now that she is vanished to her rest, and I have meditated for another hour or two, I shall summon courage to go, also, in spite of aching laziness of head and limbs.

我希望有这样一个妻子，在我的客人们到来之前，为了不让孩子们打搅我们，她已经妥为安排，让孩子们吃过饭准备睡觉了。

I want a wife who will have arranged that the children are fed and ready for bed before my guests arrive so that the children do not bother us.
