每年隨著高校開學臨近,家長們就開始忙著為孩子購置各種物品。筆記本電腦、手機和銀行卡是許多新生的“三件套”(three-piece suit)。一些學生還準備了相機、游戲機和其他時尚產品(trendy product)。學者稱這些學生花錢大手大腳。也有一些家長表示,他們會滿足孩子的基本需求,但是如果孩子想花更多錢,則需要他們自己去掙錢實現。
Every year, as the new school term for colleges and universities is approaching, parents are busy buying all kinds of items for their children. Laptops, mobile phones and bank cards are the so-called three-piece suit for many freshmen. Some students also prepare cameras, game players and other trendy products. Scholars claimed that those students spent too much. Some parents said that they would satisfy their children’s basic needs, but if they wanted higher consumption, children were expected to earn money by themselves.
