37. 剩女

“Leftover women”is a term that refers to women who remain unmarried in their late twenties and beyond. Some people regard leftover women as a social force to be reckoned with”, while others have argued that the term should be taken as a positive term to mean“successful women”. In a 2010 Chinese National Marriage Survey, it was reported that 9 out of 10 men believe that women should be married before they are 27 years old. In China leftover women are mostly well-educated middle class. Women today are more free and able to live independently in comparison to previous generations.

“剩女（leftover women）”這個詞被用來指那些在二十八九歲，甚至更大年齡仍未結(jié)婚的女性。有些人認為“剩女”是需要認真對待的社會力量，而另一些人則主張這個詞應被視為褒義詞，意思是“成功女性”。據(jù)2010年的中國婚姻調(diào)查（Chinese National Marriage Survey）報道，90%的男人認為女人應該在27歲之前結(jié)婚。在中國，大部分“剩女”都是受過良好教育的中產(chǎn)階級。跟以前幾代人相比，如今的女性更加自由，更能夠獨立生活。
