近年来,日本媒体上经常出现“过劳死”(苦劳死)一词。“过劳死”,是指因过度劳累而死亡,医学上称“疲劳综合征”。出现这个名词的原因是,不少事业有成的中壮年人,因过度劳累而英年早逝。 In recent years, the word “overwork” (hardship) has often appeared on the Japanese media. “Overworked to death” refers to the death due to overwork, medically referred to as “fatigue syndrome.” The reason for the emergence of this term is that many successful middle-aged and young adults die young due to over exertion.
