亭主が女房の尻にしかれるのも当然だ。 No wonder he is a henpecked husband. 酔っ払っておそく家に帰ったかどで、怒った女房は亭主に食ってかかり、箒で亭主をひっぱたいた。 The angry wife was on the warpath; she hit her husband with a broom for coming home late and drunk. 女房の尻にしかれている亭主は、幸せな独り者に話してはじめて、自分の問題を認識することがたびたびだ。 Many times, a hen-pecked husband doesn't know his problems until he talks to a happy bachelor. 女房が映画に行きたがっていることがよくわかったので、いじわるな亭主は一計を案じ、くるあてもない来客を家で待つことにした。 Knowing very well that his wife wanted to go to a movie, the husband, who was a dog in the manger, cooked up a scheme whereby they had to stay at home waiting for a certain visitor who was not expected to come. うちの亭主は甲斐性がない。 My husband isn't quite the provider he should be. あの夫婦は共かせぎしている。だが亭主の給料のほうが女房の給料よりも低い。亭主が女房の尻にしかれるのも当然だ。 He and his wife both work and his salary is lower than hers, so no wonder he is a hen-pecked husband. あの家は女房が亭主をしりに敷いている。 She wears the trousers in that house.
