前一阵,突然有个新词火了,那就是“积极废人”。
一时间,朋友圈像是街边的电线杆,被贴满了白纸黑字的小广告,而且贴的还是同一张图,就是这个:
01
Active Loser
An active loser is someone who loves to set goals but fails to achieve them.
These people have a lot of aspiration to be active but find it difficult to follow through in practical terms.
Often, active losers get caught in a cycle of inspiration, good intentions and then procrastination, which is immediately followed by guilt for being so lazy.
典型特征:间断性踌躇满志+持续性混吃等死。
会在间歇性享乐后恐慌,时常为自己的懒惰自责。心态上积极向上,行动上却宛如“废物”。
loser n. 失败者
procrastination [prəu,kræsti'neiʃən]:拖延
为了让大家更直观地
理解这个此人设,
下面给大家举几个例子
(请勿对号入座哦)
①积极废人谈【早睡早起】
今晚一定十点就睡觉,不玩手机!躺下后觉得还早。那就睡前刷一下淘宝朋友圈抖音吧,也不算浪费时间。完事吃个鸡,打个农药,哎哎哎,又两点了。
第二天起不来,每隔十分钟闹铃响一回,按了无数个闹钟,卡在上学/上班的最后一秒前到,还好没迟到.....
但是,说好的健康生活,早睡早起呢??
②积极废人谈【减肥/健身】
觉得自己实在是太胖了,花钱办了健身卡,立下flag,直接把微信头像换成「不减10斤,不换头像」的图片,对周围所有人宣誓:我一定要瘦!
然而事实是:运动10分钟,瘫痪2小时;跑步一圈,半个月不出门,健身卡压在抽屉的一角落满灰尘.....
周五和好朋友美食饭局一顿不落,夏天就是啤酒配小龙虾的季节啊~ 健身健身神马的以后再说....
嗯,积极废人式减肥无疑了。
③积极废人谈【阅读打卡】
决定培养每日读书的习惯,晚上早早洗好澡,躺在床上读书,读着读着,诶~等反应过来手机已经玩了一小时。
却发现买了一堆习题课外书却根本没动过,学英语背单词百某斩不会坚持超过三天,复习复习着就拿着手机玩起来......
嗯,积极废人式学阅读打卡,合格。
④积极废人谈【学英语】
一直扬言说要练出一口伦敦腔,也曾多次在公开场合对英式口音发表溢美之词。然而现实中,连续背单词的最高纪录只有3天,光abandon就背了800遍......
花几千块钱报的口语课程最后也不了了之,被半价挂到了闲鱼上,学了20年英语,但能流利讲出的也只有——Fine, thank you, and you?
嗯,积极废人式学英语,没毛病。
④积极废人谈【存钱】
早已意识到自己与贫穷只有一线之隔,终于下定决心要开始存钱。
不过这个月还是把工资的3/4贡献给了——10个网红淘宝店主+5家网红餐厅+星巴克的新品+爱豆演唱会门票。月末依旧月光族.......
嗯,积极废人式存钱,鉴定完毕。
是不是一言难尽,好是上头?
短短4个字的概括力简直不要太强大!
积极废人
总的来说,就是那些爱立flag,
却又“嘴勤屁股懒”的人(说的是你吗)
现实生活中,除了积极废人外,
冒出来的新人设还真不少,
再来随小编一起,我们来数一数:
02
邋遢洁癖=Messy Mysophobic
人前干净整洁又精致,私底下就是脏乱差。
A messy mysophobic is someone who only appears clean and well-presented in public, but in private they can be a total mess.
mysophobic [,maɪsə'fəʊbɪk]:有洁癖的;有洁癖者
mysophobia [,maɪsə'fəʊbɪə]:不洁恐惧症
messy:脏乱的
男的发型清爽,白T恤发光,身上还有好闻的肥皂味;女的妆容完美,衣服上没有一个褶子,还做了法式美甲。但他们家里通常乱得像战场,被子是直接堆在床上的,衣服是随便乱放的;只要不出门,他们可以不洗头、不洗脸、不刮胡子。
Males may have that clean-cut hair style and brilliant white T-shirt; females may have flawless makeup and perfect nails – but their homes could be a total tip, with clothes all over the floor and dirty dishes in the sink left for days on end.
家里的那道大门对他们来说不是一扇普通的门,而是一个跨越两个世界的传送门。
The front door to these homes are no ordinary doors, they're portals between two very different worlds.
03
隐形贫困人口=Invisible poor
这些人看起来每天有吃有喝有玩,生活质量还挺高,但实际上非常贫穷。
The invisible poor are people who appear to live an affluent lifestyle, but are actually impecunious.
affluent ['æfluənt]:富裕的
impecunious [,ɪmpɪ'kjunɪəs]:没钱的;贫穷的(有时为幽默用法)
他们花30块喝一杯咖啡,他们花300块去网红餐厅打卡,他们花500块买一件精品复古白T恤,他们花工资的一半租CBD旁边的房子。
A typical month could mean they spend RMB30 for a cup of coffee, RMB300 at the trendiest restaurant, RMB500 for a plain white vintage T-shirt, as well as spending half of their monthly salary to rent near the CBD.
他们的生活看起来非常富足,但他们每个月的账户余额都清零。
A lifestyle this extravagant without sufficient funds may project wealth but in reality, the balance sheet always returns to zero at the end of every month.
04
野生KOL=Spontaneous Key Opinion Leader
他们是朋友圈的野生广告人,只不过是不赚广告费的那种。
A Spontaneous Key Opinion Leader is someone at the forefront of brand advocacy in their social networks.
他们每天都在推荐各种品质良莠不齐的食品、餐厅、服装、活动、旅游目的地,为朋友们的消费升级操碎了心,其活跃程度令人胆寒。
These social media enthusiasts don't typically charge a fee to help promote a brand, restaurant, clothing label, activity or travel destination. They go out of their way to help their friends accomplish their consumption upgrade. Their enthusiasm can scare the hell out of you.
这些人绝对是这个商业社会的脊梁。
No doubt, they are the backbones of this commercial society.
05
卧底富豪=Undercover Millionaires
这些人成功地混迹在贫困人口当中,有时候还跟着一起哭穷,对各种穷人的自嘲段子了如指掌。
Undercover millionaires are rich people who profess to be poor in order to blend inwith the common man.
blend in:混入
不过他们却常常因一些小物件不小心露富,说不定在杭州还有两套地铁房。
It can be difficult to maintain the appearance of poverty, as they accidentally reveal their true financial status through a series of little items. They probably own two properties near subway stations in a city like Hangzhou.
这些人是隐形的人生赢家,他们就是以前上学时那种喊着“没复习好”却考了第一的人。
These people were probably the children at school who claimed to have done no preparation for an exam and end up top of the class.
