Only two decades ago in China, cohabitation was regarded as a corrupt and decadent Western lifestyle, and the adjective "illegal" accompanied any mention of it.
在20年前的中国,“同居”还被认为是一种腐化堕落的西方生活方式。人们提起它时，总会在前面加上“非法”一词。
It couldn’t be more different now: Only about 3 percent polled are opposed to couples living together with a vast majority taking a very lenient attitude.
但如今可大不一样了。调查显示，仅有约3%的人反对同居，绝大多数人对此持十分宽容的态度。
