大行其道的“拼爹游戏”
英语课
Competition of family background, competition:比赛,竞赛;family background 是家庭背景的意思。那么仅从字面意思,我们就可以理解 competition of family background 拼爹游戏了。
大家一起看下面的解释:
Some young people of poor families who are usually very frugal 1 and work hard to help their dependents overcome impoverished 2 conditions complain that they are currently being judged in society on their family background rather than capability 3 and knowledge。
They believe the children of rich families, known as the "second rich generation," can always get decent jobs and social status ahead of the poor。
这个“拼爹游戏”可不是我们平常说的拼车、拼房这样拼的意思,而是指比拼老爹,“拼爹游戏”,它不是一种游戏,而是指当今青年在上学、找工作、买房子等方面比拼的不是自己能力,拼的是各自父母。
在现在这个贫富差距越来越明显的社会,子女的贫富意识也越来越明显,这就造成了子女比拼各自的自己的父母,例如:经济能力、社会地位等等,这些人认为自己学得好,有能力,不如有个“成功”的老爸。这个词和富二代、穷二代这两个词紧密相连。
