時(shí)代變遷,人們?cè)谏鐣?huì)中扮演的角色定位也跟著在變化。上世紀(jì)八十年代,不知有多少男士夢(mèng)想著遇到自己的“慧芳”,又不知有多少女子在苦苦尋覓這心目中的“許文強(qiáng)”。這就是時(shí)代的烙印。如今,大批80后涌入社會(huì),他們年輕、有活力,注重生活品味,又有責(zé)任感;有時(shí)感覺(jué)他們還像沒(méi)長(zhǎng)大的孩子,可在關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻,他們又很能擔(dān)當(dāng)。他們就是現(xiàn)代社會(huì)的ladult。
Ladult, as the name suggests, he is of a laddish persuasion but can be adult when it matters. He is 25-thirtysomething and appears to have re-found his masculinity. He is more bold and butch. They are men with self confidence and a keenness to look, behave and dress like men.
Ladult,顧名思義,就是看起來(lái)稚氣未脫,但在關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻會(huì)表現(xiàn)出其成熟一面的年輕人(即lad adult的合成形式)。他們年齡大概在25到30來(lái)歲,似乎重新發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己的男子氣概。他們大膽,男人味十足。他們很自信,并且熱衷于通過(guò)言行、衣著塑造自己的男性形象。
He is his own man, irons his own shirts (because he can do it better than his mum or girlfriend) and he can cook too. He seems to have grown up and got over laddish attitudes. He has no problem with the notion that women are his equals, but secretly thinks they are different and should remain so. We are however assured he isn't a chauvinist.
他們是自己的主宰,自己熨襯衫(因?yàn)殪俚帽人赣H或女朋友好),自己做飯。他們似乎已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)大,沒(méi)了小子氣十足的態(tài)度和舉止。他對(duì)男女平等的觀念沒(méi)什么意見(jiàn),但心里覺(jué)得她們是不同的,而且應(yīng)該繼續(xù)不同下去。不過(guò),有一點(diǎn)我們可以確信,他們不是大男子主義。
