What does the word family mean to you? An American study in 2006 showed that people today 39. Over 99% of the
people who were interviewed agree that a husband, a wife, and a child are a family. At the same time, 94% see a parent with a
child as a family, 91% say a husband and a wife, without children, are a family, and 81% think a man and a woman, with a child,
but not married, are a family too.
The study also found that 40_ is very important in the modern thinking on family. Though 81% think a man and a woman,
not married, with a child, are a family, the percentage (%) drops to 40% if the couple doesn't have a child. This is also true with
same-sex couples. About 60% see two men, or two women, with a child, as a family, but only 32% think so when the couple
| doesn't haveachild.
In the study, those who see two men or two women that live together as a family often find it OK for same-sex couples to get
married. 41. However, not everyone opens their arms to same-sex couples: the study said 30% have no problem seeing pets
as part of one's family, but they do not think a same-sex couple is a family.

「家庭」這一詞對你來說意義是什麼呢?一份美國 2006年的研究指出,現代人對於組成一個家庭有著不同想方
超過99%的受訪民眾認為,一個家庭是由一個丈夫,一個妻子與一個孩子組成的。同時,94%的民眾認為,單親
母與一個孩子的組合,也是家庭的一種.91%的民眾說,一個丈夫與一個妻子,沒有小孩的組合,也算是家庭。
研究發現,現今看法中,有無養育小孩成為了是否構成家庭的重要因素。雖然81%的人認為一個男人、一個
人,沒有結婚卻養育孩子也是一種家庭,但當一對未婚男女而沒有養育小孩時,將其視為家庭的比例便跌至40%
這同樣可套用在同性伴侶上,約60%的民眾將有養育小孩的兩個男人或兩個女人視為一種家庭,但只有32%的民
把未養育小孩的同性伴侶視為家庭。
