生活英语|exercise widow 运动寡妇

Exercise widow refers to a woman who spends little time with her husband because of his frequent and extended exercise sessions.

运动寡妇是指由于老公频繁和长期进行训练而与之聚少离多的女人。

The exercise widow often wakes to an empty bed -- a sure sign of a morning workout -- and may find dinner plans spoiled by a sudden avoidance of anything heavy before a night run.

运动寡妇一般醒来就面对一张空空如也的床（这一定是老公晨练的标志），晚餐计划还可能由于老公夜跑前不想大吃大喝而忽然取消。

The male equivalent is, of course, the exercise widower^1.

当然啦，如果是有相同处境的男子，则称为运动鳏夫。
