   如今,越来越多的人突破城市界限,工作生活双城化、房子两地买、婚姻周末化,社交网络多城交叉,原有的单一城市生活工作模式被打破,“钟摆族”应运而生。


  请看相关报道:
  Many white-collar workers like Zhang commute 1 every week between the two cities, earning themselves the moniker, "pendulum 2 clan 3".
  有很多像张先生这样的白领每周往返于两座城市之间,这样的人群被形象地称为“钟摆族”。
  文中的pendulum clan就是指“钟摆族”。你可能已经猜到了它的意思,就是指“工作在此城,生活在别处”的“跨城际”就业人群。这种人的生活模式被形象地称为5+2,每到周末便赶回另一城市的家中。如果夫妻中有人成为了pendulum clan,那么就要归属新派的weekend couple(周末夫妻)了。
  Clan这个词现在常用来指称某一类具有一定特征的人群。有时候我们还用tribe来表示这一特性。除了大家熟知的moonlight clan(月光族)、NEET group(啃老族)等等,clan家族里正不断新添普普通通、但却脚踏实地生活的Mcdull clan(麦兜族)、聚居在市郊的ant tribe(蚁族)、熟练操作键盘的thumb tribe(拇指族)等等新成员。

vi.乘车上下班;vt.减(刑);折合;n.上下班交通
  • I spend much less time on my commute to work now.我现在工作的往返时间要节省好多。
  • Most office workers commute from the suburbs.很多公司的职员都是从郊外来上班的。
n.摆,钟摆
  • The pendulum swung slowly to and fro.钟摆在慢慢地来回摆动。
  • He accidentally found that the desk clock did not swing its pendulum.他无意中发现座钟不摇摆了。
n.氏族,部落,宗族,家族,宗派
  • She ranks as my junior in the clan.她的辈分比我小。
  • The Chinese Christians,therefore,practically excommunicate themselves from their own clan.所以,中国的基督徒简直是被逐出了自己的家族了。
