刚刚迈入成人门槛的thresholder
凡事都有门槛,万事开头难,对于那些刚迈入成人门槛的年轻人来说,人生中处处是“门槛”,因而他们也被称为“门槛者”—— 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.
“门槛者”指的是刚跨入成人门槛的年轻人,尤其是那些为离家或开始承担成人义务而感到焦虑或抑郁的人群。
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.
这些在18岁到24岁之间的年轻人是青少年和成年人的混合体,他们既不是青少年,也非完全的成年人,但又具有这两者的特质。这是内心极度动荡和焦虑的一个时期。
