Women might be on a more even footing at work but at home their careers tend to take a back seat to their husband's job with women most likely to quit when both are working long hours, according to a U.S. study.
美国一项研究显示,如今女性在职场中的地位可能有所提高,但在家里,她们的事业相比于丈夫而言仍处于次要地位。当夫妻双方的工作时间都很长的情况下,女方辞去工作的可能性更大。
这里的"take a back seat"就是"允许他人领先,甘愿居于人下,退居幕后"的意思.
To allow somebody else to play a more active and important role in a particular situation than you do.
