单词 karoshi
释义

karoshi

/kaˈrəʊʃi /
noun [mass noun]
(In Japan) death caused by overwork or job-related exhaustion: [as modifier]: karoshi victims...
  • Newly released karoshi figures from Japan's Health, Labour and Welfare Ministry, covering 2002, show a record 317 deaths that were directly attributable to long hours in the office.
  • A conservative estimate puts the number of karoshi cases in Japan at 10,000, though the real figure may be nearer 30,000 and some even say 50,000.
  • The jump was due largely to a redefinition of karoshi to encompass up to six months of accumulated work-related stress and fatigue instead of the previous standard of just one week.

Origin

Japanese, from ka 'excess' + 'labour' + shi 'death'.
