中國傳統(tǒng)價值觀提倡勤(industry)儉,反對揮霍(extravagance)浪費。然而近年來,社會上出現了一群叫作:“月光族”(the moonlight clan)的人。“月光族”成員大多是年輕人。他們剛剛步入工作崗位,收入不多,但總是在月底前把收入花得一干二凈,不留半點積蓄。他們知道如何購買各種各樣的商品,知道如何享受生活,但卻沒有養(yǎng)成存錢的習慣。“月光族”的消費習慣并不正常,有時可以說是一種浪費。
Chinese traditional values advocate for industry and thrift, while opposing extravagance and waste. However during recent years, a group of people who are dubbed “the moonlight clan” have appeared in society. Members of “the moonlight clan” are mostly young people who have just started to work. They do not earn much, but always exhaust their earnings before the end of every month without any savings. They know how to enjoy life by purchasing different kinds of goods, but have not developed a habit of saving money. The consumption habit of “the moonlight clan” is unhealthy and sometimes wasteful.
