People who follow the same path or live up to the same expectations as their parents are called generation xerox.
追隨父母的足跡或按照父母期待的方式去生活,這樣的人就被稱作“復印的一代”。
來看一下例子:
They've just bought a house in the suburbs, with space for an au pair, and he's just been headhunted to the city. Total generation xerox.
他們剛在郊區(qū)買了個房子,房子里還留出了給互惠生的房間,而這名互惠生不久前受聘去城里工作了。完全是“復印的一代”。
