逐句中文翻譯

1. For example, in the vignette, a case study, Jaime immigrated first, leaving Maria and children behind, thus creating the need for changes in family strategies.

   ? 【翻譯】 例如，在這個個案研究（短篇故事/案例）中，Jaime 先移民了，把 Maria 和孩子們留在身後（墨西哥），從而產生了改變家庭策略的需求。

2. As a man on his own, Jaime had accomplished many tasks—such as laundry, cooking, and other chores—typically performed by his wife.

   ? 【翻譯】 作為一個單獨生活（獨自一人）的男人，Jaime 完成了許多通常由他妻子執行的家務——例如洗衣、做飯和其他家事。

3. In turn, Maria, who was the de facto head of the family’s household while in Mexico, had to perform many of the roles she previously shared with her husband (e.g. socialization and discipline of children) alone, as well as family tasks that had been her husband’s sole responsibility (e.g. managing the family’s finances).

    

   ? 【翻譯】 反過來說，Maria 在墨西哥時是實質上的家長（戶長），她必須獨自承擔許多以前與丈夫共同分擔的角色（例如孩子的社交引導與管教），以及原本完全屬於丈夫責任的家庭任務（例如管理家庭財務）。

4. When Maria and the children eventually arrived in the United States, Jaime’s and Maria’s roles had to be renegotiated, resulting in something entirely new.

   ? 【翻譯】 當 Maria 和孩子們最終到達美國時，Jaime 與 Maria 的家庭角色必須重新協商，進而產生了一種全新的家庭運作模式。
