談戀愛等於砸錢?00後的愛情觀
今天給大家帶來的是一則閱讀材料——
年齡最大的00後已經17歲了,一些有關他們的感情問題也逐漸浮現了出來,這些孩子們對愛情到底抱有什麼樣的態度?
Li Hui (Pseudonym), a high school junior in Beijing born in 2000, recently transferred 520 yuan ($75.4), a number commonly used in China as the abbreviation for "I love you," to his girlfriend"s WeChat account in order to end a disagreement between them.
小李是北京一名高三學生,出生於2000年。最近他向女友微信賬戶里轉了520塊錢(約合75.4美元),諧音「我愛你」,希望能結束和她的爭吵。
"[However], not just any amount of money; a few bucks could never work," he said.
「不是隨便多少錢都可以的,幾塊錢根本沒用。」
He got himself a girlfriend six months ago, and since then, he has spent as much as tens of thousands of yuan on her.
小李6個月前找到了現在的女友,自那以來他就已經在女友身上花了幾萬塊錢。
Li is one of the post-00s, young people born from 2000 to 2009, who have not only already gotten into a romantic relationship, but also tend to keep the spark alive in a luxurious way.
小李是標準的「00後」,但他不僅已經開始談戀愛,還試圖用一種奢侈的方式讓這段戀情持續下去。
The way post-00s show love is astonishing adults. According to an article from the China News Agency in November 2013, a boy about 1.4 meters tall and possibly a fifth-grade pupil, knelt down in front of a girl about the same age in Jiangsu Province before holding her in his arms, leaving many passersby stunned.
00後表達愛意的方式讓成年人很震驚。據中國新聞社2013年11月的一份報道,江蘇一個身高1米4的男孩(可能才五年級)跪倒在一個同齡女孩面前,隨後將其摟入懷中,此事件讓許多路人都倍感驚訝。
An article from New Weekly magazine in March noted that a deputy to the National People"s Congress proposed to lower the legal minimum age for marriage to 18 years of age to cope with China"s low birth rate problem. If that becomes true, the oldest post-00s, aged at 17, are reaching the marriageable age.
《新周刊》雜誌3月份一篇文章指出,一名全國人大代表反對用將法定結婚年齡降低到18歲的辦法來解決中國出生率低的問題。而如果那提案成為現實的話,那麼年齡最大的00後(17歲)馬上就要達到適婚年齡了。
A junior high school student told Yangcheng Evening News that around a quarter of the students in each class at the school he attended were in a relationship with students from their own class or those from neighboring classes. He was seen as an outsider because he was single, according to the article from New Weekly.
一名初中生對《羊城晚報》透露說,他們學校每個班四分之一的學生都在談戀愛,對象既有自己班的、也有其他班的。據《新周刊》的文章表示,因為他沒有談戀愛反而被邊緣化了。
A "Post-00s falling in love" group on Baidu Tieba, a Chinese online communication platform, has attracted more than 600,000 followers. In the group, there are nearly 30 million posts where many post-00s express their intention to find a boyfriend or a girlfriend and share their love stories.
百度「00後早戀吧」會員超過了60萬,在該貼吧里00後孩子找男/女友、或者分享自己愛情故事的帖子約有3000萬之多。
Besides the curiosity for romance, another major reason why some post-00s are eager to get a romantic partner is that they are afraid to be single in their late 20s or early 30s and labeled as "leftover" women, like what happened to many post-80s and post-90s generations.
除了對愛情的好奇心之外,另一個00後渴望找到另一半的原因是他們害怕20或30歲時仍然單身、然後被貼上剩男、剩女的標籤——就像許多80後、90後一樣。
However, the opinion on the matter is mixed. While some believe love knows no age, some remain more critical.
但是,社會對這個現象的看法並不統一,有些人認為愛情無關年齡,而有些人則更嚴厲一些。
Opulent wealth
1、愛情=砸錢?
For some of the post-00s born into affluent urban families, money is an approach to express their affections - something they have learned from their environment.
對某些出生於富裕城市家庭的00後來說,錢是一種表明自己心意的辦法——而這是他們耳濡目染學來的。
Li conceded that transferring 520 yuan to his girlfriend whenever she is in a bad mood is nothing compared to the amount he usually transfers to her when there is a special occasion, like their one-week, one-month or three-month anniversary.
小李坦陳,女朋友心情不好時給她轉個520和自己在特殊日子(比如他們相識一周、一個月或者三個月紀念日)里的花費來說,簡直不值一提。
"At the beginning of the year, I gave her a red envelope with 1,000 yuan in it to wish her a happy New Year," he said.
他說道:「年初,我給她發了一個1000塊拜年紅包。」
He added that he also uses other costly ways to make his girlfriend happy.
小李表示,自己還用過其他昂貴的套路來哄女朋友開心。
For example, since she is a big fan of shopping online, he logs onto her account on various shopping websites on a regular basis and pays for all the items she has put in the basket.
舉例來說,因為小李的女朋友很喜歡網購,小李就會定期登陸她各個網購網站的賬戶,幫她清空購物車。
"I empty her shopping basket twice a month, and spending thousands each time is quite usual," he said.
小李說道:「我每兩個月幫她清空購物車一次,每次花費上千元都是很稀鬆平常的事兒。」
Moreover, since they became boyfriend and girlfriend, he has bought her two iPhones, an iPad tablet and a MacBook notebook that total more than 20,000 yuan.
此外,自從他們兩人確定關係之後,小李已經給女朋友買了兩部iPhone、一台iPad平板電腦、以及一台Macbook筆記本電腦,花費超過了20000元。
Eager to love
2、害怕成為剩男/剩女!
Feng said that a main factor that drives her to eagerly get herself a boyfriend is related to what happened to her cousin who is a 32-year-old white-collar worker in Beijing.
小馮表示,促使自己如此急切想要找男朋友的原因和自己在北京當白領的表姐(32歲)有關。
She explained that although her cousin is a beauty, she had been single her entire life as a student, because she always focused on studying. She graduated with her master"s degree at 27 years old. "Since she has no experience in the romance field, it is very difficult for her to talk to a man romantically, let alone find a boyfriend," she said.
小馮解釋說,儘管自己表姐很漂亮,但是整個學生時代都是單身,因為她總是專心學習,27歲時碩士畢業。小馮說道:「因為她從沒談過戀愛,所以很難撩動男人,更別說找男朋友了。」
Her cousin"s parents have set her up on several blind dates, and she did go out with some of the men, but nothing romantic happened after.
她父母給女兒安排的好幾次相親,而她也的確和一些男人出去過,但是任何風月都沒有發生。
Her cousin told her that she has no idea what went wrong, and that she is almost about to be driven crazy by parental pressure.
她的表姐向她坦白稱,自己根本不知道問題出在哪兒,而自己也幾乎要被父母壓力給逼瘋了。
"Every time she calls her parents or they call her, they ask her whether she has found a boyfriend and then push her after she says no," Feng said.
小馮說道:「每次她給父母打電話、或者父母給她打電話的時候,他們都會問她有沒有找男朋友,而如果答案是『沒有』的話,那麼就又是一場逼婚大戲了。」
Feng believes that the reason why her cousin experiences romantic difficulties is that she lacks relevant experience, so she decided to try to have as many boyfriends as possible while she is young.
小馮認為,她表姐之所以在愛情方面遇到困難,是因為她沒有經驗,所以她決定趁自己年輕,儘可能多找幾個男朋友。
