老人帮忙 The old man to help

　　英国法律规定，如果孩子无人照看而受到伤害或发生意外，父母或其他监护人将被视作违反法律受到处罚。

British law，If no one to look after children by injury or accident，Parents or other guardians will be regarded as violation of law punished。

　　由于英国老人没有帮子女带孩子的传统，分身乏术的父母过去通常请保姆来照料放假在家的孩子，花费为每小时6至10英镑。

　　这一趋势如今被称为“假日祖孙游”。

充分关爱 Fully care

　　不过，家长把孩子托付给老人也并不单纯出于经济考量。一项研究称，比起托儿所里的孩子，由爷爷奶奶照顾的孩子在词汇量等方面要更胜一筹。因此，希望孩子能得到充分的关爱也是英国家长把孩子托付给他们爷爷奶奶的理由之一。

　　据调查，近3年里，每5位65岁以上的英国老人中就有一人选择自助游。而今年，55岁以上老年人的旅游预订量更是增长了8%，其中大部分计划携孙辈出行。不过，儿女省下的开销，却由老人掏腰包。调查数据显示，老人的旅游费用增长了两成。

　　但老人们似乎并不在意费用的增长。调查组织者称，老人在伸出援手“解救”忙于工作、经济上捉襟见肘的子女的同时，重温童年假期，留下了与孙辈的共同记忆。

But the old people don't seem to care about the growth of the cost。Investigation organizers say，The old man in a helping hand“save”Busy with work、Economic starved of children at the same time，Revive childhood holiday，Leave the grandchildren and the common memory。
