Marry-upon-graduation is a new expression which refers to those young people who marry immediately after graduating from college.
"畢婚族"主要是指一畢業(yè)就結(jié)婚的一類群體。在一些大城市,越來越多的大學畢業(yè)生選擇了一畢業(yè)就結(jié)婚。
University students in major cities are increasingly choosing to get married soon after graduation. This is in sharp contrast to the 1990s and 1980s when many urban youngsters put off marriage until they were "old enough"一in their 30s or even 40s. Many spent their time looking for spouses with good economic backgrounds or attractive faces, instead of looking for love.
當今的"畢婚族"與二十世紀八九十年代的年輕人形成了明顯的對比。八九十年代的年輕人一般都會選擇在30歲,甚至40歲左右結(jié)婚。他們選擇配偶也格外地謹慎,長相、經(jīng)濟條件都是他們考慮的因素,而不像"畢婚族",僅僅是為了愛情而結(jié)婚。
The marry-upon-graduation get a family upon graduation, however, they need more time and experience to wean off the pampering of their parents. They are looked after by their parents, as the "babies" are still figuring out how to live as a family, meanwhile they get money from parents to cover their expenses.
對于"畢婚族"而言,雖然一畢業(yè)就有了自己的家庭,但是仍然需要更多的時間才能慢慢脫離對父母的依賴,他們依然需要父母的照顧,像小孩子一樣學習如何融入家庭。同時,父母在物質(zhì)上也要給予他們支持以保證家庭的基本開銷。
