凡事都有門檻,萬事開頭難,對于那些剛邁入成人門檻的年輕人來說,人生中處處是“門檻”,因而他們也被稱為“門檻者”—— thresholder。
Thresholder refers to a young person on the threshold of adulthood, especially one who is anxious or depressed about leaving home or taking on adult responsibilities.
“門檻者”指的是剛跨入成人門檻的年輕人,尤其是那些為離家或開始承擔(dān)成人義務(wù)而感到焦慮或抑郁的人群。
Thresholders are literally young adults ages 18-24, who appear as a hybrid, neither teenager nor grown-up, yet both. It's a time of pronounced turmoil and anxiety.
這些在18歲到24歲之間的年輕人是青少年和成年人的混合體,他們既不是青少年,也非完全的成年人,但又具有這兩者的特質(zhì)。這是內(nèi)心極度動蕩和焦慮的一個時期。
