Question

一句英语翻译，求教

so,too,did broader measures of unemployment which include marginally attached workers.marginally是少量，为什么marginally attached workers 是近期未就业人数呢？

Answer 1

marginallyadv. 少量地；最低限度地；在栏外；在页边

所以marginally不只有少量地意思，还有在什么边缘的意思，所以marginally attached workers有依附在（游荡在）工作者的边缘的意思，也可以理解为就要接近于成为工作者的人。

Those, in the bureau's words, who are "marginally attached to the labor force."(用统计局的话来说，这些人“游荡在劳动力市场的边缘”。)

这里 "marginally attached to the labor force."其实说的就是marginally attached workers，即未就业人员。
