Being a good parent is harder now than it has ever been before. In pressurized modern lives, demands to be a fulfilled individual, and a good parent. We haven't left space for the nurturing parents expect to provide and children need. As a result, many families in the western world just don't work.
Something will have to change. With luck, people in the future will only have children if they really want them. And that should mean that parenthood is seen as a much more positive commitment than it is now, and that parents are socially supported, and admired for doing a good job.
做一名好父母如今比以往任何时候都更难。在充满压力的现代生活中，人们既要追求个人价值的实现，又要履行好父母的职责，两者的要求交织在一起。我们既没有为父母们想要给予的关爱留出空间，也没有满足孩子们所需的滋养。因此，西方世界的许多家庭（在育儿与自我平衡上）难以维系。
必须做出一些改变。幸运的是，未来人们只有在真正想要孩子时才会选择生育。这就意味着，为人父母将被视为一种远比当下更积极的责任担当，父母们也会获得社会的支持，并因育儿得当而受到赞誉。

语义精准转化：
- “pressurized modern lives” 译为 “充满压力的现代生活”，比 “高压现代生活” 更贴合书面语规范；“fulfilled individual” 译为 “个人价值的实现”，而非字面的 “满足的个体”，契合学术文本对抽象概念的表达需求。
- “nurturing parents expect to provide and children need” 采用拆分译法，译为 “父母们想要给予的关爱”“孩子们所需的滋养”，避免直译导致的生硬，同时通过 “关爱”“滋养” 的差异化表达，体现语义层次。
-
句式优化调整：
- 原文 “demands to be a fulfilled individual, and a good parent” 省略主语，译文补充 “人们”，并添加 “两者的要求交织在一起”，使逻辑更完整，符合汉语 “主语明确、语义连贯” 的表达习惯。
- “many families in the western world just don't work” 结合语境译为 “（在育儿与自我平衡上）难以维系”，而非 “不起作用”，精准传达 “家庭在育儿压力下无法正常运转” 的深层含义。
-
语域适配：
- “positive commitment” 译为 “积极的责任担当”，“commitment” 在学术语境中表 “责任、承诺”，比 “义务” 更具主观能动性，契合原文强调 “主动育儿” 的态度。
- 结尾 “admired for doing a good job” 译为 “因育儿得当而受到赞誉”，将 “doing a good job” 具体化为 “育儿得当”，避免模糊表达，体现学术翻译的精准性。
博士阶段翻译需注重 “语境深度解读”，尤其是社会类文本，需结合文化背景（如西方家庭育儿压力的社会根源）调整表达；积累抽象名词（如 “commitment、nurturing”）的精准译法，避免字面化翻译，同时通过句式拆分与重组，兼顾学术严谨性与汉语流畅性。
