在开放二胎政策执行之后,很多家庭都迎来了二孩。 When China relaxed its four-decade one-child policy at the start of 2016, there were a variety of predictions on whether the change in family planning rules would encourage enough people to have a second child. 当中国于2016年初结束其长达40年的独生子女政策之后,关于这一家庭计划生育政策的改变是否会鼓励更多的人生养第二个孩子的各种预测就甚嚣尘上。 Some said there would be too few to offset the effects of an aging population. Others predicted a baby boom because, after all, Chinese people love babies. 有些人表示这一改变很难抵消老龄化人口的影响,而其他一些人则预测会有一个婴儿潮的出现,因为毕竟中国人还是喜欢小孩儿的。 Now the numbers are in: In the first half of 2016, the proportion of Chinese newborns who were second children grew to 44.7 percent of total newborns. 现在的数字是:在2016年上半年,我国新生儿中的二孩比例增至44.7%。 |
