拼图家庭什么样? 《家有儿女》中的刘星一家大家都不陌生吧,他们家中的三个孩子,有两个是爸爸从之前的婚姻中带来的,另一个是妈妈从之前的婚姻中带来的。 像他们这样的家庭在英语中就叫做jigsaw family(拼图家庭)。 Jigsaw family is a household that includes two or more sets of children from the parents‘ previous relationships, in addition to any children they have together. Jigsaw family指夫妻双方带着各自之前婚姻中的孩子,以及他们自己的孩子共同组成的新家庭,即“拼图家庭”。 The traditional married couple with 1. 6 children was increasingly being replaced by “amalgamated” or “jigsaw” families where one or both of the couple have children from a previous relationship.
