在托福考试中，词汇量的多少对于英语考试的听力、写作、阅读等每个环节都有影响，因此今天小编为各位托福考生介绍一下“generation pause”这个词。

Generation pause refers to young adults who are not able to do things previously typical for their age group such as buy a home, start a family and have kids because they are short of money.

　　“暂停的一代”指到了一定年纪，却因为没有钱而无法像前辈人那样买房、结婚生子的年轻人群体。

　　The research, conducted by Research Plus, found that:

　　由Research Plus组织的这项研究发现：

　　Of those aged 25 to 34 years old…

　　-One in five are postponing their marriage plans for more than two years

　　-One in 10 say they could never afford to marry

　　25到34岁的年轻人当中：

　　-五分之一将结婚计划推迟两年以上

　　十分之一表示他们可能永远都结不起婚

　　Of those aged 35 to 44 years old..

　　-One in seven had or would put off starting a family for at least four years

　　-One in four delayed starting a family for two years because of lack of savings

　　-One in 12 think they’ll never be able to afford children

　　35到44岁的年轻人当中：

　　-七分之一已经或者打算将成家的时间推迟至少4年

　　-四分之一曾经因为存的钱不够而推迟两年结婚

　　-十二分之一认为他们可能永远都养不起孩子

　　For example:

　　A new study released last week revealed a quarter of Brits believe they’ll never own a property, leading them to be dubbed ‘generation pause’ – an entire generation trapped in a kidult lifestyle not being able to afford to do the ‘grown-up’ stuff, like buying property, getting married and having kids.

以上就是与generation pause相关的内容，希望对大家有帮助。
