光怪陸離的世界裏,生活著各式各樣的我們。新奇的人越來越多,每個人都有自己的生活形態,每個人也都能找到自己的同類。又到了盤點時間,讓我們來

看看新的族群有哪些吧。

Sunflower Clan 向日葵族

Meaning: Used to refer to people who, just like a sunflower, always look on the bright side of life and are resilient【有複原力的】 to pressure as they easily forget about unhappiness.

“向日葵族”指的是一群像向日葵一樣的人,他們總能看到生活積極的一麵,坦然麵對各種壓力,對於不快樂的經曆能夠轉眼就忘記。

在這個物欲橫流的時代,像“向日葵族”們的人真的很少見,他們沒有太大的野心,把“知足常樂”作為人生的座右銘之一。或許大多數人都應該考慮一下這種生活態度呢。

e.g. People in the sunflower clan always believe that less desire can lead to more happiness.

向日葵族們通常相信欲望越少,越容易快樂。

Slow Traveler慢旅族

Meaning: Travelers who often do not travel by plane. They prefer to travel more gently, by train, bus, cargo ship, even bicycle. They want to luxuriate【沉迷(在),享受】 in the experience of a stress-free journey, not rush to a destination.

意大利人卡爾洛 佩特裏尼曾提出“慢食運動”的概念,而如今的“慢旅族”其實也是一種相似的表達,它所形容的這群人在出門時放棄搭乘飛機旅行,寧願選擇火車、公交車、貨輪,甚至自行車等慢條斯理的旅行方式。他們想要充分享受沒有壓力的自由旅途,不喜歡匆忙趕赴某一目的地的感覺。當你偶爾對生活產生困惑,對自己每天匆忙來去的原因表示不解時,可以采取這樣一種方式來反思。相信當你駐足的時候,會看到不一樣的風景。

e.g. Lots of work made Jenny want to be a slow traveler very much.

繁多的工作讓珍妮非常想做個“慢旅族”。

DINK Exit Clan悔丁族

Meaning: Used to describe those who opt out【退出】 of their earlier decision for a DINK (dual income no kids) family and decide to start a family. However, as many of them are well beyond their prime reproductive age, getting pregnant can be really painful.
