房价太高，租金太贵，生活费不够用，这些因素导致越来越多的成年子女不愿意离开父母独立生活。他们在家里享受着各种便利，而且有时还会让父母用退休金补贴自己。
The combination of high property prices and laziness has left many parents with the surprise — one that is not always welcome — of finding their thirtysomething children are not in a rush to leave.
高企的房价和惰性使得很多父母面临一个不太乐观的境地，家里三十多岁的孩子并不着急出去独立生活。
They are “kippers”, an acronym for “kids in parents' pockets eroding retirement savings”.
这些孩子就是“奇葩族”，英文kippers就是kids in parents' pockets eroding retirement savings（在父母兜里蚕食他们退休金的孩子）的缩略形式。
Of those adult children who live at home, 30% don't work at all and 49% are in full-time employment. Of those in work, 58% live at home rent-free and only one-third are charged rent, averaging at 95 pounds per month.
跟父母住在一起的成年子女中，有30%根本不上班，有49%全职上班。全职上班的人当中，有58%住在家里享受免租金待遇，只有三分之一会支付租金，平均每月95英镑。
