<< review queue entry 54105 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Are 18-year-olds in Tw in 2015 considered too young to be called strawberries? (since they were born around 1997) I wonder whether this term only applies to people who are now aged between 24 and 35? If so, add "(esp. those born in the 1980s)" Most of my nephews and nieces in Tw are strawberries, according to the current def. Will they still be called strawberries when they are in their 40s and 50s, though? Why 1991 rather than, say, 1990? Yves ~ it means sb who is pampered but bruises easily, oversensitive. K ~ ◊ {TW usage} the "strawberry generation"—people born in Taiwan in the 1980s (a humorous analogy to the strawberry, which is rough, full of personality, and attractive in external appearance, but soft, easily bruised, and delicate on the inside) Mair ~ young people who are as fragile as strawberries TP ~ 1) 正如「草莓族」一詞已成為現在年輕人的共同代名詞，形容他們外表及學歷光鮮亮麗，但抗壓力及挫折忍受力均低，好似草莓般一捏即碎 The term "strawberry tribe" is now synonymous with today's young people. It refers to their luster of both their appearance and their educational achievements, and to their low tolerance for difficulty and frustration. 2) "the strawberry set" (so soft they burst at the first pressure) 3) the "strawberry generation," soft and easily bruised in time of hardship because they have had such an easy time of it 4) 有人喜歡將七年級生冠上「草莓族」的大帽子 Some people think the children of the 1980s are fragile creatures who cannot endure hardship 5) The term "strawberry tribe" is now synonymous with today's young people. It refers to their luster of both their appearance and their educational achievements, and to their low tolerance for difficulty and frustration. Like strawberries, they are thought to be easily crushed. 6) Figures like this suggests that today's university students are anything but the easily bruised "strawberries" they have been made out to be. They want jobs, and more and more of them have already rolled up their sleeves, put their noses to the grindstone, and entered the workforce. 7) A lot of people think those of us born in the 1980s are the 'strawberry generation,' easily bruised and lacking perseverance, and that we can't make it in business. |
