Grammar Study In 1986, there were 445 stay-at-home fathers in the UK. Two decades later, that number has risen to over 21,000. And in June this year, the UKs Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) announced that 79 percent of men questioned said they would be happy to look after their young children while their wife went out to work. In a single generation, a behavior that was once considered eccentric has become mainstream. This is just one illustration of a big change in social attitudes in the western world. Formerly, a father would be refused entry to a delivery room; now he may be reproached for his absence. His traditional role in family life was that of breadwinner and disciplinarian, but today childcare manuals all urge a more loving paternal approach. The EOC report has received unexpectedly wide press coverage, because the trend for men to take on traditionally female roles is still controversial. Many people welcome it, but others fear that something is going badly wrong with the human race. Those who fear the rise of the new man condemn him as unnatural and assert that scientists will confirm their beliefs. That reassurance may once have been forthcoming, but now the opposite is true. 4. Suggested Translation 1) 于是这句话就成为我对全职父亲的最佳表述。这种职业体现了一种崭新的生活方式，不能简单地提提就算了。对，还得解释、辩护，甚至表现出极大的热情。 (要准确翻译这个句子，需要
