The rise of the so-called “boomerang generation” is laid bare in official figures showing that almost one in five graduates in their late 20s now live with their parents.

官方数据显示，目前（英国）有近五分之一年龄在20多岁的大学毕业生和父母同住，由此可见，被称为“回巢族”的一代正在兴起。

By contrast, only one in eight university graduates had failed to fly the nest by the same age 20 years ago, research from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows.

英国国家统计局的数据显示，二十年前的这一比例仅为八分之一。

It also found that grown-up sons are twice as likely as their sisters to still be living with their parents in their late 20s.

此外，调查发现，“奔三”男和父母同住的几率为“奔三”女的两倍。

With nearly a quarter of men approaching 30 still living at home, the findings are bound to lead to claims of a "generation of mummy's boys".

近四分之一的“奔三男”仍然和父母住在一起，这一现象催生了“离不开家的一代”这种说法。

Rising property prices, mounting student debts and the effects of recession on the job market have forced a wave of young people to move back into the family home at an age when they would normally be moving out.

不断上涨的房价、高筑的学生贷款以及经济衰退对就业市场的影响已迫使一大批年轻人在本应独立生活的年龄搬回到父母身边。

Young professionals in their late 20s or early 30s have been nicknamed the “boomerang generation” because of the trend toward returning to the family home having initially left to study.

那些“奔三”或三十出头的年轻职场人士被称为“回巢族”，因为这些人在离家求学后又重新回到父母身边。
