Grown children in China must visit their parents or potentially face fines or jail, a new law that came into effect on Monday says.

The law says adults should care about their parents "spiritual needs" and "never neglect or snub elderly people".
本周一生效的《老年人权益保护法》规定,成年子女必须经常回家看望父母,否则,将有可能面临罚款或监禁。
该《老年人权益保护法》主要是想通过要求成年子女经常看望年老父母的做法,来解决当前日益严重的孤身养老问题。
该保护法中提到说,成年子女应当关心父母的“精神需求”,“不得忽视或冷落老年人”。
【讲解】
文中的Elderly Rights Law就是“《老年人权益保障法》”的意思。elderly是形容词,解释为“年老的”,与old同义,但比old用法上更礼貌。The elderly,即定冠词加上形容词构成名词化结构,解释为“老年人”,相当于senior citizen或elderly people。
另外,第二段中的ageing(或拼为aging),解释为“变老的”。“老龄化社会”就可以翻译成ageing society。
