According to the survey, 21.6 percent of theleftover women and menare subject to long-term sexual repression, while only 17.6 percent have regular sex partners. Visiting prostitutes and having multiple sex partners have become two main causes of sexually transmitted diseases, such as AIDS.
该调查显示,21.6%的剩男剩女长期处于性压抑状态,只有17.6%的剩男剩女有固定的性伴侣。而嫖妓和多性伴是艾滋病等性传播疾病的两大根源。
上面的报道将“剩男剩女翻译成leftover women and men,带有明显的贬义,因为leftover一词的意思是“吃剩的食物,残羹剩饭,不过中文原词也是带有贬义的。“剩男剩女指的是大龄未婚男女青年,因为到了婚嫁年龄却还单身,所以被认为是“剩下了。那些接近expiry date的“准剩男剩女也有一个称号,就是doomed single(必剩客)。
不过,如果我们将一个二三十岁的大姑娘称为leftover woman,相信谁听了都不乐意。国外一般将大龄女青年称为3S lady,也就是Single(单身)、Seventies (大多数生于上世纪七十年代)、Stuck(被卡住了)。不过这个词用来形容新一代的“剩女就不大准确了。也有人用SAS来形容“黄金剩女,即single(单身)、attractive(迷人),successful(成功)。
