坊間對80后的議論還沒(méi)有褪去，針對90后的種種說(shuō)法又襲來(lái)了。“他們的素質(zhì)都很不錯，可就是承受不了打擊，太容易受傷害了。”這話(huà)聽(tīng)著(zhù)是不是很耳熟呢？是啊，大概因為80后和90后這樣的情況太普遍了吧，所以人們用了一個(gè)很生動(dòng)的比喻來(lái)指代他們——Strawberry Generation。
They look chic and sophisticated. They are soft and get hurt easily. They seem unbearably spoilt and can't take much pressure. They are the so-called "Strawberry Generation". 他們看起來(lái)時(shí)尚又世故。他們軟弱也容易受傷。他們好像被寵得一塌糊涂，承受不了什么壓力。他們就是所謂的“草莓族”。 The term was coined by a Taiwan writer in one of her books about office rules. It refers to the post-60s generation of office workers, who grew up in a protected environment and got easily dented - just like strawberries - by life's lightest knocks. “草莓族”這個(gè)說(shuō)法是由一位臺灣作家在她一本關(guān)于辦公室法則的書(shū)中創(chuàng )造出來(lái)的，它指的是60年代后出生的辦公室職員，他們像草莓一樣是在多方保護的環(huán)境中長(cháng)大的，生活中輕微的碰撞就能讓他們受到傷害。 This expression is now finding its way into the mainland, and refers to young workers, of only child families, who have been active in the workforce for just a year or two. They are generally well educated but are self-centered and give too much importance to appearance and material comforts. 這個(gè)說(shuō)法現在在中國大陸也很流行，指剛剛參加工作一兩年的獨生子女一代。他們大都受過(guò)良好的教育，但多以自我為中心，過(guò)分注重外表和物質(zhì)享受。 |
