trustafarian 信托自由儿

Trustafarian is a young person from a wealthy background whose trust fund enables him or her to eschew¹ conventional attitudes to work, dress，etc.

 

信托自由儿是那种来自富裕家庭的年轻人。他拥有的信托基金让他可以不用遵循世俗的工作态度和衣着方式。

 

A trustafarian often wears his or her hair in natural styles. Although able to purchase fashionable designer clothing, a trustafarian prefers to wear thrift² store clothes, inexpensive t-shirts, worn jeans and other hippie or bohemian accessories. Many trustafarians studiously avoid fashion trends or expensive jewelry³ in order to maintain their hippie or slacker image.

 

信托自由儿的发型通常都很自然。虽然有能力购买一些时尚的设计师服装，信托自由儿却更愿意穿旧货店的衣服，便宜的T恤，破旧的牛仔裤，戴着嬉皮士或波西米亚风格的配饰。很多信托自由儿都刻意避开时尚潮流或者昂贵珠宝，只为保持自己嬉皮或懒散的形象。

 

While many young people would envy a lifestyle without the pressures of work or financial support, a trustafarian may become bored with his or her role as the son or daughter of a wealthy industrialist⁴ or celebrity⁵. This is why a number of trust fund recipients⁶ decide to rebel against the trappings of materialism⁷ and become slackers or social dropouts instead. A trustafarian knows he or she will never actually run out of money, so adopting a more hedonistic or Bohemian lifestyle for a short period of time would be relatively⁸ risk-free.

 

虽然很多年轻人可能嫉妒他们的生活中没有工作压力，也不需要父母的财政支援，但信托自由儿却可能厌倦自己作为一个富裕企业家或名人的儿子或女儿的身份。这也是为什么很多信托基金宝贝决定和物质主义对着干，宁做逍遥散人。信托自由儿知道自己的钱是用之不竭的，所以过上一小段享乐主义或放荡不羁的生活也是没什么风险的。
