In domestic life a great deal of service is done by children, the girls acting as nursemaids and general servants, and the lads as errand boys.
在家庭生活中,很多活都是由孩子干的,女孩得当好保姆和仆人,而跑腿的活则落到了男孩头上。
He was the first royal to marry a commoner, and he allowed the empress to raise their children herself instead of packing them off to nursemaids.
他是第一位与平民婚配的天皇,同时他还允许皇后亲自抚养自己的儿女,而不是把他们打包托付给保姆。
Our health, cleanliness, and safety fell within the province of the nursemaids' responsibilities, and so those women hovered over us like ewes over newborn lambs.
