Reset Generation重启一代

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

Resetgeneration(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。
