例如:
Not only do these boomerang kids think it's okay to hunker down with mom and dad, but many of them are actually doing so.
这些回归家庭的子女不仅认为与父母同住没什么不对,还有不少人其实就在这么做。
3. parasite singles
现在日本有大批的“中年啃老族”,最新调查显示,35至54岁和父母同住的日本人,2016年约有450万人。这些人不知道离开父母后如何生活,同时也对日本的老龄化社会构成了很大负担。
The country had an estimated 4.5 million unemployed — or under-employed — and unmarried 35- to 54-year-olds who still lived at home in 2016. They have been dubbed "parasite singles" by researchers.
2016年,有约450万失业或就业不充分的35岁至54岁的单身族与父母同住。他们被称为“单身寄生族”。
4. gnawing on the old
In the early years of the Great Recession, some American youth saw the grim job market as an opportunity for "funemployment," but China has coined a different term: "gnawing on the old."
在大萧条初期,一些美国年轻人把就业市场低迷视作当“失业快乐族”的机会,但中国有另外一个词:“啃老”。
The term refers to Chinese youth who don't earn enough to pay the bills, and thus end up "gnawing" through their parents' savings.
这个词是指中国年轻人入不敷出,于是要“啃”父母的积蓄。
