Three quarters of women in the country are happy
Tá trí ceathrúna de mhná sa tíre sásta sona
She’s dependent on her husband
Tá sí spleách ar a fear célibe
Begging Seán to speak to her
Ag impí ar Sheán labhairt léi
Jumping from topic to topic
Léimeann sí ó ábhar go hábhar
She is looking to speak to another adult
Teastaíonn uaithi a bheith ag caint le duine fásta eile
Company
Comhluadar
Stuck in the house
Teannta sa teach
That’s the reason she spoke to the Survey woman
B’in an fáth ar labhair sí le bean an tsuirbhé
Seán annoyed her that morning
Chair seán an gomh uirthi
She was complaining that nobody had respect for the work of housewives
Bhí sí ag gearán nach raibh aon mheas ag daoine ar obair mná tí
The survey woman stands for the new life
Seasann bean an tsuirbhé don saol nua
Not certain about her role anymore
Nach bhfuil an bhean cinnte faoina ról a thuilleadh
Bitter

Sharp
Gear
She’s frustrated with seán
Tá frustrachas uirthi le Seán
He refuses to speak to her
Diúltaíonn sé labhairt léi
In the end someone listened to her
AR deireadh thug duine éigin éisteacht di
According to him the role of a married woman is in the house looking after the children
Dar leis, is é ról na mban pósta fanacht sa teach ag tabhairt aire do na páistí

He doesn’t care when she says she’s unhappy
Is cuma leis nuair a deir sí go bhfuil sí míshona
He doesn’t give her any support
Ní thugann sé aon tacaíocht di
Disrespectful
Dímheasúil
She has to tell him to lower his voice so he doesn’t wake the baby’s
Tá uirthi a rá leis a ghuth a ísliú go ndúiseoidh sé an leanbh
Honest
Macánta
Because the survey woman didn’t have a lie detector she accepted the answers
Toisc nach raibh lie detector ag bean an tsuirbhé, ghlac sí le freagraí bhean Sheáin
It could be said that three quarters of married women in the country are happy but that wouldn’t sell papers
D’fhéadfaidis a rá go bhfuil trí cheathrú de mhná pósta na tíre sásta sona ach ní dhíolfadh sé sin na páipéir
Telling lies
Ag insint bréag
Her name isn’t mentioned
Ní luaitear a hainm in aon chor
She’s sick and tired of her boring life
Tá bean sheain bréan den saol leamh leadrâineach atá a chaitheamh aici
She took the chance and chatted to her
Ghlac sí an seans agus rinne sí a lán cainte léi
He doesn’t understand why she wants to change her life
Ní thuigeann sé cén Fátima a mbeadh fonn ar an bean chéile saol a athrú
He’s not thankful for the work she does in the house
Níl sé buíoch di ach oiread as an obair a dhéanann sí sa teach

We have sympathy for the woman in the story

Believable
Sochreidte
We can imagine very clearly the man and woman beside the fire in the afternoon and the tension between them
Shamhlú go sóiléir cois tine um tráthnóna agus an teannas atá le breath eartharhu
He doesn’t show much interest in her
Is beag suim a léiíonn sé Ina cuid cainnte
