Question

matron n.女总管；护士长；主妇；保姆 (1) 我想，那里现在大概有一位胳膊粗壮的女管家了吧。(2) 目中无人的女霸王第三次完全不理睬他。(3) 她是我们医院的一位护士长。(4) 护士长告诉我不要为手术担心。(5) 她会像家庭主妇指责孩子尿了床似的指责你。 In a wedding, you can have a maid of honor (the bride’s unmarried attendant) or a matron of honor (one who’s married). Matron includes the Latin root mater, "mother" — as in “maternal,” “maternity,” and “matrimony.” You may imagine matrons as gray-haired and stern, like Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and to avoid negative stereotypes, the title matron, for the woman who runs a nursing home or boarding school, is often replaced with the gender-neutral “director.”
