粉红力 pink power 几年前，当70后大骂80后是浪费、自私一代的时候，80后标榜自己是“红色一代”。这些年，随着90后逐步成长，社会上对90后自我为中心、缺乏责任感等评价又催生出了“粉红力”这个说法。粉红色也是红色的一种，只不过颜色没有那么深而已。那么这个“粉红力”究竟代表什么呢？ The term Pink Power was born in a fierce online debate among netizens from the post-1970s, post-1980s and post-1990s generations. “粉红力”这个说法诞生于70后、80后以及90后网民之间的一场激烈论战中。 During the debate, in response to the Red Generation which the post-1970s and post-1980s call themselves, the post-1990s generation brought forward the concept of Pink Power, which means that although the post-1990s generation is still young, they will surely grow up and shoulder their social responsibility, ultimately the Pink Power will turn into Red Power whereby they will become the backbone of the country. 在这场辩论中，为了回应自称“红色一代”的70后和80后，90后群体提出了“粉红力”这个概念，指出虽然90后尚属年幼青涩，但他们终究会成长起来承担起社会责任，并最终蜕变成为代表社会中坚的“红色力量”。 Once post online, the term won hearts of the post-1990s immediately and was considered as a favorite label for them. 这个说法在网上现身后，便迅速得到90后的认可，并被视为90后一代最欢迎的一个群体标签。 近视相亲 nearsighted date 如果要说到网络对生活的重大影响，我认为人们社交方式的改变一定要算在其中。网络似乎把很多不可能变为了可能，相隔千里的两个人可以通过网络相识，然后成为好朋友，甚至发展成为恋人。由此，曾经的blind date已经有点过时了，现在的人们都原意先视频一下，然后来个nearsighted date。不过，在小编看来，这两种都不太靠谱。 As opposed to a blind date, where you have no idea what the other person looks like, a nearsighted date is one where youve seen a photo or chatted via web cam before meeting in person. This can often lead to disappointment if one person or the other has supplied misleading documentation. “近视相亲”是相对于“盲约”而言的，后者在见面前根本不知道对方长什么样，而前者则事先看过照片或者在网上视频聊过天。在近视相亲中，如果其中有一方提供了误导信息的话，那么这样的相亲方式通常都会以失望告终。 For example: I went on a nearsighted date last night. The picture he emailed me must have been from before he quit the gym. 我昨晚去跟一个只看过照片的人见面了。他之前发给我的照片肯定是身材保持不错的时候拍的。 养眼花瓶 eye candy 我们都知道在演艺界通常都分“实力派”和“偶像派”。前者靠本事取胜，而后者多少都靠脸蛋或身材取胜。当然，我们也不能否认有一部分偶像和实力兼具的艺人存在。那些长相出众的艺人就难免会被人冠以“花瓶”的称呼，也可能人家也很有内容，但是大家都忙于关注他们的外表而忽视了他们的内容。这样的人在英文里叫做eye candy。 A common slang term for visually appealing persons or effects used to draw mass atten
