近幾年，隨著技術產品的更新換代，大家都用上了有“雙核”處理器的電腦。可是，你知道嗎？我們身邊同時也出現了越來越多的“雙核家庭”呢。

Dual-core family refers to a family where both husband and wife are the only child or the single “core” of their own families before they got married. The new family, of course, has two “cores” as neither of the couple knows how to behave not as a “core” in a family.

“雙核家庭”指夫妻雙方均為獨生子女的家庭，雙方在婚前都是各自家庭中的“核心”，因此稱為“雙核家庭”。在兩人建立的新家庭中，雙方都不知道該如何以“非核心”的方式行為處事，于是，家里就出現了兩個“核心”。

For example:

The number of dual-core families has been growing in recent years since more and more post-80s are getting married.

隨著越來越多的80后走入婚姻殿堂，雙核家庭的數量在近幾年不斷攀升。
