  Not Enough Time To Enjoy Life, or NETTEL, refers to the risingpool of
households headed by two high-income-earning, full-time-working parents with
dependent children.
          NETTEL(Not Enough Time To Enjoy
Life,无暇享受生活,简称“奈特尔”)指夫妻为高收入全职人员、家中又有孩子需要照顾的家庭。
          Here are two parents working full-time earning lots of moneybut struggling
to balance the commitments that come with a demanding job and an even
moredemanding family life. In many families it's a case of got enough money but
hasn’t got enoughtime to enjoy life. These stressed-out Nettel parents are
forever scheduling, scheming anddiarising about how to execute the next day's
events.
          这样的家庭中,父母全职工作,收入也不少,但无法同时兼顾工作职责和家庭生活。很多家庭都是有钱却没时间享受生活。这些压力重重的“奈特尔(NETTEL)”父母永远都在排日程、列计划,记录着要怎样完成第二天的事务。

          And, by some bizarre twist of logic, many of these parents seem to revel in
the scheduling frenzy.In a materialistic go-getter world, a couple's ability to
juggle and to control life's commercial andfamilial demands merely confirms
their superior "alpha" status.
          而且,基于某种奇怪的逻辑,这些父母似乎很享受这种日程堆积的状态。因为在崇尚物质第一的世界里,一对夫妇调节和掌控财务及家庭需求的能力就能够证明他们超级“强者”的地位。
