    The asymmetries of both light-flavor antiquark dˉ(x)uˉ(x)\bar{d}(x)-\bar{u}(x) and strange-antistrange s(x)sˉ(x)s(x)-\bar{s}(x) distributions of the nucleon sea are considered with more details in the effective chiral quark model. We find that the asymmetric distribution of light-flavor antiquarks dˉ(x)uˉ(x)\bar{d}(x)-\bar{u}(x) matches the experiment data well and that the asymmetry of strange and antistrange distributions can bring about 60-100% correction to the NuTeV anomaly of sin2θw\sin^{2}\theta_{w}, which are three standard deviations from the world average value measured in other electroweak processes. The results on the correction to the NuTeV anomaly are insensitive to the inputs of the constituent quark distributions and the cut-off parameters. The ratios of dˉ(x)/uˉ(x)\bar{d}(x)/\bar{u}(x) and s(x)/sˉ(x)s(x)/\bar{s}(x) are also discussed, and it is found that the ratio s(x)/sˉ(x)s(x)/\bar{s}(x) is compatible with the available experiments with an additional symmetric sea contribution being considered effectively.Comment: 24 Latex pages, 8 figure
