"Empty nest syndrome" = hiệu ứng chiếc tổ trống -> nghĩa là hiện tượng khi các "empty nester" (cha mẹ có con cái chuyển ra ngoài sinh sống) cảm thấy cô đơn và buồn bã. Con cái một tay cha mẹ nuôi nấng, đến tuổi trưởng thành là vỗ cánh bay đi, cha mẹ nào cũng buồn cả.
Ví dụ
When interior designer (nhà thiết kế nội thất) Jean Stoffer and her husband became empty-nesters, they realized it was time to downsize.
After tying the knot (kết hôn) last week, Katie ( Sarah Gordy) and Ralph (Leon Harrop) moved in together – leaving Louise (Pooky Quesnel) struggling with empty-nest syndrome.
She has taken away my son to Ireland!’ The woman in front of me cribbed (giam kín). I tried to give her solace (an ủi) in my small ways. I knew she was stressed and depressed. There was a feeling of grief and loneliness. She was suffering from the empty nest syndrome.
We parents, however, are finding it harder to adapt. First we grumbled (cằn nhằn) about the time-consuming bother of home-teaching. Yet now that it’s over, and our son is back at school, we feel oddly bereft (bị tước đi). We’ve got empty nest syndrome, at least 12 years too early. We even miss the terrible YouTube videos about computer games he loves watching.
