모든 학습의 후에는 반드시 내가 나중에 반드시 입으로 말해 볼 표현을 확실히 정리해야 합니다. 그렇지 않으면 밑 빠진 독에 물붓기는 같습니다!

 

* He is engaged in raising his kid. 그는 육아를 적극적으로 돕는다 => 육아를 잘 도와준다

   -  be engaged in : 적극적으로 관여, 참여

 

* here is the thing : 그런데 말입니다.

 

* Unfortunately : 안타깝게도

 

* in case : 혹시 ~ 일까 봐

# Guess what it was? Dad in a room by himself. According to the American Time Use Survey, mothers still do twice as much childcare as fathers, which is better than it was in Erma Bombeck's day, but I still think that something she wrote is highly relevant: "I have not been alone in the bathroom since October."

 

* is highly relevant (to the present day)

# But here is the thing: Men are doing plenty. They spend more time with their kids than their fathers ever spent with them. They work more paid hours, on average, than their wives, and they genuinely want to be good, involved dads. Today, it is fathers, not mothers, who report the most work life conflict.

 

* here is the thing : 그런데 말입니다\

 

* paid hours: 유급시간

 

* genuinely = sincerely 진심

 

* genuine 영영사전 뜻 => real (진짜), sincere(진심)

# Now, in a more progressive country, and forgive me here for capitulating to cliché and invoking, yes, Sweden, parents could rely on the state for support. There are countries that acknowledge the anxieties and the changing roles of mothers and fathers. Unfortunately, the United States is not one of them, so in case you were wondering what the U.S. has in common with Papua New Guinea and Liberia, it's this: We too have no paid maternity leave policy. We are one of eight known countries that does not.
