英语课
In Japan, 98% of those being adopted are actually adult men, aged 1 between 20 and 30.
日本98%的被收养人实际上是20-30岁的成年男子。
In Japan, there is a several-hundred-year-old tradition in which businesses adopt their executives so companies or institutions are "family-run" groups.
日本有一项延续了数百年的传统，即企业收养管理人员，这样一来，企业或机构就成了"家族运营"集团。
It all started hundreds of years ago when Japan's civil code dictated 2 how a family's wealth would be passed on after the death of the family elder.
这一切始于数百年前，当时日本民法典规定了家族长者去世后家族财富的继承办法。
If a family did not have any blood-related sons, the law said that adopted sons could carry on the family name, business, and receive the wealth.
该部民法典规定，如果家里没有任何有血缘的子嗣，养子可以延续姓氏、继承产业和财富。

Nowadays, legal adoption 3 of this kind is paired up with an arranged marriage of a daughter, meaning the adopted son becomes son and son-in-law at the same time because he changes his name to the wife's family name.
如今这类合法收养与女儿的包办婚姻相结合，即养子同时成为儿子和女婿，因为他会将自己的姓氏改为妻子的姓氏。
Studies have found that adult adoption is a very effective way of keeping family businesses healthy over long periods of time.
研究发现，收养成人是家族企业长期健康运营极有效的方法。
According to The New Economy, "adopting highly qualified 4 adults to head family businesses has the triple effect of displacing untalented blood heirs, eliciting 5 better performance from managers who stand to be placed on a fast-track to ownership by becoming an adopted son, and encouraging proactivity among blood heirs who live under constant threat of being replaced by a 'superior' adopted son."
《新经济》杂志称，“收养高素质成年人来领导家族企业具有一箭三雕的效果：取代无才的血亲继承人；促使有望通过成为养子而踏上拥有公司捷径的管理者表现更出色；激发处于随时可能被“更优秀”的养子取代的威胁中的血亲继承人的工作积极性。”
Today, there are a host of matchmaking companies and marriage consultants 6 specializing in recruiting adult adoptees for Japanese companies.
如今，有很多婚介公司和婚恋顾问专门为日本企业招收成年养子。
"There is definitely demand because the birth rate in Japan has been falling and many parents just have a daughter," says Chieko Date, the founder 7 of a matchmaking site for woman looking for husbands willing to get adopted by their families.
伊达千惠是一家婚介网站的创始人，该网站为女性寻找愿被其家族收养的丈夫。伊达千惠说，“因为日本的出生率一直在下降，而许多夫妻只有一个女儿，所以肯定有需求。”
"And many men are looking for opportunities to use their business skills outside the corporate 8 world because in this economy, climbing up the corporate ladder is much harder."
“许多男人都希望在企业世界之外的天空施展自己的商业技能，因为在这种经济体制中升迁要困难得多。”
