（单词翻译:单击）

Special Snowflake(syndrome) is a derogatory term widely used to describe someone who often whines¹ about deserving special treatment or sees oneself as exceptionally unique for no apparent reason. The term probably derives² from what our mothers always told us as kids that we are "special and unique, like a snowflake".

“特别雪花”或“特别雪花综合征”是一个具有贬义的说法，多用来指代那些莫名其妙就自以为与众不同、应享受特殊待遇的人。这个说法大概来源于，我们小时候，妈妈经常会说，我们都是“特别的，独一无二的，就像雪花一样”。

要说这个说法的起源，还得从一部电影说起。

On October 15th, 1999, the film Fight Club was released. The film features one of the protagonists³, Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) telling the men looking to join the fight club:“You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake.”

1999年10月15日，电影《搏击俱乐部》上映。片中的主人公之一、由布拉德·皮特扮演的暴力王泰勒对想要加入搏击俱乐部的人说：“你不特别。你也不是美丽的、独一无二的雪花。”
