生活英语|小留学生 parachute kids

来源:www.nuecuan.com 2024-10-16

留学生这个词大家并很熟悉,而且都了解是指那些成年将来到别国深造学习的学生。不过,仿佛目前有愈加多的父母想让孩子从小就到海外同意教育,这类被送到海外的孩子子就被叫做parachute kids。

Parachute1 kids are children sent to a new country to live alone or with a caregiver while their parents remain in their home country, also called parachute children.

Parachute kids(降落伞儿童),也叫做parachute children,指那些被送到另一个国家一个人生活的孩子。他们的生活起居有人照顾,但爸爸妈妈仍然留在本国。

这种现象以前在香港和台湾区域经常见到。这类孩子的爸爸妈妈常常奔波与港台和孩子所在国家,就像空中飞人一样,所以这些爸爸妈妈让人戏称为astronaut parents。由此,被空中飞人爸爸妈妈空投到某国生活的孩子被叫做parachute kids也就不奇怪了。
