都說(shuō)80后的青年男女都流行“閃婚”，這個(gè)勢(shì)頭還沒(méi)有過(guò)去，又來(lái)了一個(gè)“閃孕”的趨勢(shì)。據(jù)說(shuō)是好多女白領(lǐng)擔(dān)心在經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)期間丟了工作而采取的應(yīng)對(duì)措施。可是，小編有點(diǎn)不解的是，下一次經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)的時(shí)候她們?cè)趺崔k呢？

They are female white-collar workers. They didn't have any plan to have a child until the economic crisis struck. Then they decided to get pregnant - as quickly as possible.

在這個(gè)群族之列的都是女性白領(lǐng)員工。她們一直沒(méi)有生育計(jì)劃，而經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)來(lái)臨的時(shí)候，她們突然決定要快速懷孕。

They are afraid of getting fired. China's labor law stipulates that a company should not fire a pregnant employee unless the company is insolvent. "Get pregnant as soon as possible" became a mantra at the height of the economic crisis. Indeed, so many female employees made this choice that they were collectively dubbed "the rush-to-get-pregnant tribe".

因?yàn)樗齻兣卤怀呆滛~(yú)。我國(guó)勞動(dòng)法規(guī)定除破產(chǎn)情況以外，公司不得解雇懷孕員工。這使得“盡快懷孕”成了經(jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)高漲時(shí)的一個(gè)護(hù)身符。因?yàn)橛泻芏嗯詥T工選擇快速懷孕，所以就出現(xiàn)了一個(gè)新的群體，被稱為“閃孕族”。
