毕业生可能遭遇的quarterlife crisis

分类: 实用英语 
经常会听到年长的人说正在经历“上有老,下有小”的“中年危机”(mid-life crisis),自己累得一塌糊涂,结果还可能四处不讨好。而眼下在闹危机的似乎不仅是中年人了。刚走出大学校门的年轻人也在经历着属于他们的quarterlife crisis(青年危机):就业、考研、家庭、感情纠结着让他们找不到方向。Quarterlife crisis refers to feelings of confusion, anxiety, and self-doubt experienced by some people in their twenties, especially after completing their education. The term is named by analogy with mid-life crisis.Quarterlife crisis(青年危机)指二十几岁的年轻人,尤其在刚刚完成学业后,经历的迷茫、焦虑及自我怀疑等情绪。这是仿照mid-life crisis(中年危机)这个说法来定义的。The quarterlife crisis variation was popularized by a book called Quarterlife Crisis: The Unique Challenges of Life in Your Twenties, by Alexandra Robbins and Abby Wilner, which was published in May, 2001.Quarterlife crisis 这一说法在2001年5月由亚历山大•罗宾斯和艾比•维尔纳合著的名为《青年危机:你二十几岁时独特的生活挑战》的书出版后开始被广泛使用。例如:I struggled with anxiety, panic, and fear for some time, never knowing it was driven by my quarterlife crisis.我曾经一度在焦虑、恐慌和恐惧中挣扎,从未想到那是受青年危机影响的结果。
