如果你活成了你爸妈的样子，或按照你爸妈希望的方式去生活，你就成了“复印的一代”。

People who follow the same path or live up to the same expectations as their parents are called generation xerox.

追随父母的足迹或按照父母期待的方式去生活，这样的人就被称作“复印的一代”。

来看一下例子：

They've just bought a house in the suburbs, with space for an au pair, and he's just been headhunted to the city. Total generation xerox.

他们刚在郊区买了个房子，房子里还留出了给互惠生的房间，而这名互惠生不久前受聘去城里工作了。完全是“复印的一代”。
