work against nature

As the scholar Silvia Federici put it in 1975, the unpaid nature of domestic work reinforces the assumption that "housework is not work, thus preventing women from struggling against it."

正如学者西尔维娅·费德里奇在1975年指出的那样，家务劳动的无偿性强化了“家务劳动不是工作，因此阻止了妇女与之抗争”的假设。

Surrender is hard work. In our case, it is intense warfare against our self-centered nature.

降服是一件艰巨的事，对我们来说，这是一场与我们的自我中心的剧烈争战。

If you go against nature and do things at the wrong time of year, you will have to do more work and the results will no be so good.

假如你违反自然规律，做事每年在错的时间，你就得付出更多的工作，结果将不那么好。
