對80后的議論還沒有褪去,針對90后的種種說法又襲來了?!八麄兊乃刭|(zhì)都很不錯,可就是承受不了打擊,太容易受傷害了?!边@話聽著是不是很耳熟呢?是啊,大概因?yàn)?0后和90后這樣的情況太普遍了吧,所以人們用了一個很生動的比喻來指代他們——Strawberry Generation。

草莓族 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".

他們看起來時尚又世故。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”這個說法是由一位臺灣作家在她一本關(guān)于辦公室法則的書中創(chuàng)造出來的,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(hù)的環(huán)境中長大的,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.

這個說法現(xiàn)在在中國大陸也很流行,指剛剛參加工作一兩年的獨(dú)生子女一代。他們大都受過良好的教育,但多以自我為中心,過分注重外表和物質(zhì)享受。
