Reset Generation重啟一代
Reset generation refer to young people who, when a situation becomes difficult or burdensome, quit and start over again in a different situation.
Resetgeneration(重啟一代)指遇到復(fù)雜、難處理的情況時(shí)就選擇離開那里,重新開始的年輕人。
This phrase was inspired by the "reset" feature that comes with most video or computer games. Choosing this feature gives the player a fresh start and is most often employed when the player gets into a mess from which he or she can't or won't escape.
這個(gè)表達(dá)的靈感來(lái)源于電腦游戲中的“重置”功能。選擇該功能后,玩家就可以重新開始;玩家陷入游戲僵局、無(wú)法破解時(shí)經(jīng)常會(huì)用到重置功能。
The word"reset" means that these young people simply choose to"reset" their "play" buttons by changing jobs, partners or friends, instead of trying to cope with and learn from their difficulties — a standard pattern for older generations.
Reset(重置、重啟)一詞就意味著這些年輕人往往通過(guò)換工作、換伴侶、換朋友來(lái)“重置”他們的“人生游戲”,而不是像老一輩人那樣努力去應(yīng)對(duì)遇到的困難并從中吸取經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
