Reset generation 重启一代

分类: 趣味英语 

Reset generation refer to young people who, when a situation becomes difficult or burdensome, quit and start over again in a different situation.

Reset generation(重启一代)指遇到复杂、难处理的情况时就选择离开那里,重新开始的年轻人。

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.

这个表达的灵感来源于电脑游戏中的“重置”功能。选择该功能后,玩家就可以重新开始;玩家陷入游戏僵局、无法破解时经常会用到重置功能。

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、重启)一词就意味着这些年轻人往往通过换工作、换伴侣、换朋友来“重置”他们的“人生游戏”,而不是像老一辈人那样努力去应对遇到的困难并从中吸取经验。
