從「有家庭」到「以家庭為重」

man with a family · noun
A man who has a partner and children — used simply to say that he has a family to look after.
有家室的男人
Think of a man standing in a family photo — and of people pointing at that photo when they introduce him. The two words only mean a man who has a family, but they are rarely used just to report that. Most of the time they also say where his weight rests. So one sentence of he's a family man can be telling you his situation (there are people at home depending on him), and another can be praising his character (home is where he wants to be).
可以想成一個男人站在全家福照片裡，而別人介紹他的時候，指的就是那張照片。family man 字面只是「有家庭的男人」，但這兩個字很少只用來報告事實。多數時候它同時在說：他的重心就落在那張照片裡。所以同樣一句 he's a family man，可能是在講他的處境（他有家要養），也可能是在誇他的個性（他很顧家），由上下文決定。
