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。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。

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。British old man could not help children with children's traditional，Member to parents used please nanny to care for the children at home，Cost per hour for 6 to 10 pounds。

　　但近日一项调查显示，由于经济不景气，为了省去请保姆的费用，超过三分之一的家庭在学校放假时将孩子托付给家中老人照顾。四分之一的老人会选择带孙辈一起出游来度过假期，而野营等自助游尤为受欢迎。这一趋势如今被赋予了个新称呼“假日祖孙游”。

But recently a survey，Because of the economic depression，In order to save the cost of please nanny，More than a third of the family in the school holidays will be entrusted to the child in the home to take care of the old man。A quarter of the old man would choose to travel together with grandchildren to spend holiday，And such as camping self-help is especially welcome。This trend is now endowed with a new name“Holiday grandparent and grandchild swimming”。

　　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家长的理由之一。

but，Parents send children entrusted to the old man is not simple for economic considerations。A study says，Compared with the children in the nursery，The grandpa's grandmother took care of the children in vocabulary wait for a respect to want more。therefore，Hope children can get sufficient care is also one of the reasons why the parents。

　　重温童年 Revive childhood

　　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。

According to the survey，Nearly 3 years，Every 5 a 65 - year - old England over the old man in one people choose to travel。This year，55 years of age or older tourist YuDingLiang is increased by 8%，Most of them travel plan with grandchildren。but，Children save expenses，But the old man dig down。Survey data show，The old man's travel expenses increased by twenty percent。

　　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。

　　户外用品零售商哈尔福德斯公司的商务总监保罗·麦克莱伦说：“人们总是很怀念自己小时候的假期经历，老人们希望能将这种帐篷中的乐趣与孙辈分享。”

Outdoor retailer halford, the company's business director Paul McClellan said：“People always miss his childhood holiday experience，Old people would like the tents of the fun and grandchildren share。”
