The most popular internet buzzword: 内卷、割韭菜、躺平

Posted on July 1, 2022July 1, 2022 By clover Tao No Comments on The most popular internet buzzword: 内卷、割韭菜、躺平

内卷指的是大家疲于竞争、

不断内耗

精疲力尽

最后啥也没得到

意思就是过度竞争

怎么使用呢

如果你看中国的新闻

经常会看到太卷了

卷不动了

意思就是竞争太激烈了

没办法竞争了

Involution refers to people suffering from constant competition,

internal friction

and exhaustion,

but ending in nothing.

It means excessive competition.

How to use it?

If you watch the Chinese news,

you often see “too much involved”

and “unable to be involved”,

which means that there’s too much competition

and that there’s no way to compete.

割韭菜。“割韭菜”是个老词,

意思就是你的时间、

精力、金钱、甚至智力,

都在不断地被权力方所收割。

Cut chives. “Cut chives” is an old word,

meaning your time,

energy, money, and even intelligence

are being reaped by the powerful party.

躺平躺平

指的是不管对方对你采取任何态度

做任何事情

你都不予反应或反抗

内心毫无波澜

它的核心逻辑就是

只要我躺平

内卷就卷不到我

镰刀就割不到我

有人支持这种态度

也有人激烈地反对

你认为呢

Lie flat. “Lie flat”

refers to however the other person treats you

and whatever he does to you,

you do not react or respond,

with nothing stirring inside.

The core logic is that

as long as I lie flat,

involution won’t involve me,

and sickles can’t cut me.

Some people support this attitude,

while others strongly oppose it.

What about you?

如果你还有疑问

那我们一起来

看一下这3个词语的英文解释吧

If you have any questions,

let’s

take a look at the English explanations of these three words:

•内卷:involution, to much competition, or rate race

•割韭菜:cut chives, or be played for a sucker

•躺平:lie flat, which reflects a mentality that young people adopt to reject rat race. Since trying hard can’t get what you want, you’d better choose to skate by and become a couch potato.
