引句:
The term "sandwich generation" was coined in 1981 by social workers. What I also see in my clinic is what Carol Abaya, an elder care expert, calls the "club sandwich generation". This refers to adults who are supporting their ageing parents, their adult children and young grandchildren. This also includes a section of young people, who are supporting their parents, their grandparents and their own children.

「三明治世代」這個詞是由社工人員於1981年所創造。我在自己診所裡也看到老年護理專家卡羅‧阿巴亞 (Carol Abaya) 所說的「總匯三明治世代」。這是指扶養年邁父母、成年子女和年幼孫輩的成年人。這也包括一部分年輕人,他們扶養父母、祖父母和自己的孩子。
