They have been dubbed "parasite singles" by researchers. Sociologist Masahiro Yamada coined the term in 1997. 日本於2016年據估計有450萬失業、半失業及未婚的35歲至54歲人口仍住在家中。他們被研究人員稱為「單身寄生蟲」。社會學家山田昌弘在1997年創造了這個名詞。 "During the 'bubble economy' until the mid-1990s, the 20-somethings were happily amusing themselves. They thought by the time they were in their 30s, they'd be married," Mr Yamada told Reuters. "But one-third never married and are now around age 50." 「在直到1990年代中期的『泡沫經濟』時代，當時的20幾歲年輕人快樂地自娛，認為自己 30幾歲時就會結婚。」山田先生告訴路透：「但有3分之1從未結婚，現齡已是50歲左右。」 "About 20 percent of middle-aged stay-at-home singles rely solely on parents for support. When their parents pass away they could become a burden on the state. Once they use up inherited assets and savings, when nothing is left, they will go on the dole," Mr Yamada said. 山田先生表示：「約有20%的中年單身人口待在家裡，僅仰賴他們父母的支持。當他們的父母過世，他們可能成為國家的負擔。一旦他們用完繼承的資產和存款，當一無所有，他們將開始領救濟金過活。」新聞辭典 underemployed：形容詞，半失業的，未充分就業的。例句：He was underemployed and not satisfied with his work.（他屬於半失業，並且不滿他的工作。） dub：動詞，把…稱為，給…取綽號。例句：The murderer was dubbed by the newspapers "the Angel of Death".（該名兇手被報紙稱為「死亡天使」。） go on the dole：動詞片語：開始領救濟金。例句：If I can't find any work within a month, I'll have to go on the dole.（如果我一個月內無法找到任何工作，我將必須開始領救濟金。） 4.完整新聞連結 (或短網址): https://tinyurl.com/y9eohc9z 5.備註: Welcome to NHK -- 　　　　　　　　／￣￣￣ㄟ |　　｜　　　　　　　　　　／　　　ㄟ |　　　　｜　　　　　　　 |　　（> )（ <）＜ XD　　｜　　　　　　　　　 | /// （_人_） |　　　　｜　　　　　　　　　　 |　　　 \__/ ! |　　　　｜　　　　　　　　 |　　　　　ㄟ \＿＿＿＿| -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 118.169.37.93 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Gossiping/M.1511887764.A.FFE.html
