中文摘要:

      乳母身份实等同于婢，但由于与所育儿女结下深厚的感情，她往往随该女出嫁，或随公子游宦各地，以致由主家为她养老送终。与妾一样，她可能成为上层社会家庭的一员。一些乳母取得主人的信任，甚至可能成为内务主管，在这个家庭取得较高的地位。而且，她与诸多下层女性相似，具有健康丰硕的体态，其性感往往会成为吸引男主人的因素，因此，在某种场合，她的身份甚至会与妾难以区分，为此，也会给主家的后代带来血缘上的困惑。

英文摘要:

      The identity of the nanny is somewhat like the servant-girl. Nannies, just like the concubines, could become one of the family’s members in the upper class. They could go with the girls they nursed when these girls got married and their masters would provide for the aged nannies. Some nannies would be promoted as majordomo for they had won their masters’ favor. Some nannies had well-developed figures. Their sexy bodies would attract their male masters and they would function as concubines, which would cause puzzles to their masters’ descendants.
