<p> 什么是“豆竿家庭”</p><p> 四世同堂式的大家庭曾在中国很普遍，七大姑八大姨齐聚一个屋檐下也不足为奇。但随着社会的发展，家庭模式也有了新的变革。核心家庭（<span word="nuclear">nuclear</span> <span word="family">family</span>）、丁克家庭（<span word="DINK">DINK</span> <span word="family">family</span>）都是时下常见的家庭模式。其实，大家庭并没有消失，只是换了种模式，他们成了<span word="beanpole">beanpole</span> <span word="family">family</span>。 <span word="Beanpole">Beanpole</span> <span word="family">family</span>，一般译作“豆竿家庭”，指的是： <span word="A">A</span> <span word="family">family</span> <span word="whose">whose</span> <span word="living">living</span> <span word="members">members</span> <span word="come">come</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="many">many</span> <span word="generations">generations</span>, <span word="but">but</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="few">few</span> <span word="members">members</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="each">each</span> <span word="generation">generation</span>. 几代同堂，但是每一代人数都很少的家庭。 豆竿家庭不朝横向发展，而朝纵向传宗接代，像菜豆茎依附竹竿爬升一样瘦长。当家庭传宗接代的功能丧失，这种家庭就成为截断家庭，像豆竿断枝一样，无后了。 近年来，在很多国家都出现了这样的家庭，新生代的人数普遍减少，多为独生子女，而老一代 人的寿命又在延长，所以整个家庭的模式就像插在地上帮助豆秧向上攀爬的豆竿（<span word="beanpole">beanpole</span>）一样，又细又长。这种家庭最初在英国被称为 <span word="verticalized">verticalized</span> <span word="family">family</span>（垂直化家庭）。 <span word="The">The</span> <span word="rising">rising</span> <span word="divorce">divorce</span> <span word="rate">rate</span> <span word="partly">partly</span> <span word="explains">explains</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="growth">growth</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> '<span word="beanpole">beanpole</span>' <span word="family">family</span>. <span word="With">With</span> <span word="almost">almost</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="marriages">marriages</span> <span word="ending">ending</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="divorce">divorce</span>, <span word="many">many</span> <span word="adults">adults</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="least">least</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="families">families</span>, <span word="each">each</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="single">single</span> <span word="child">child</span>. 不断上升的离婚率是“豆竿家庭”产生的一部分原因。在大约每两段婚姻中有一段以离婚告终的情况下，很多成年人都至少有两个家庭，每个家里还都有一个孩子。</p>
