shift相当于中文里的“班”，早班，中班，晚班的班。to work the shift 就是"上班"

那work在这里是动词吗？ work the shift怪怪的哦

FYI:

Shift work is an employment practice designed to make use of the 24 hours of the clock, rather than a standard working day. The term shift work includes both long-term night shifts and work schedules in which employees change or rotate shifts

A related yet different concept, the work shift, is the time period during which a person is at work.

所以shifts是上班时间的意思...

这句话该怎样理解？：

A survey of 765 working women over eighteen years of age found that 60 percent of them worked 40 or more hours a week and 
                that married women with children under eighteen were more likely than other married women to work shifts different from their husbands'

their husband·s 和哪部分对应？
