The Age of Majority means the moment when you turn 18, which is a milestone marking the start of adulthood.
在大多数国家,进入18岁便意味着成年。但是到达成年这里程碑到底意味着什么呢 你将完全主宰自己的生活吗 你能够用新奇的、激动人心的方式来表达自己吗 获得这种自由又会带来什么新的责任呢 接下来,有三位年轻人会为我们讲述年满18岁对他们意味着什么,或是曾经意味了什么。
I can't wait to be 18. One reason is that although I’ve
been working ever since leaving school, I won‘t be voting in the next general election. Why Because I still won’t be old enough. Surely, if you're old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes, you should be allowed to have a say on how the government spends them! I’ve also been taking driving lessons, and in fact I will be taking my driving
test on the very day I turn 18. My mum worries about
在我简直等不及想要到18岁了。其中一个原因是虽然我一毕业就工作了,但是我依然不能在下一届大选中投票。为什么?因为我依然不满18岁。但是我认为如果一个人已经工作并且交税了,那他应该对政府在支配税收方面有一定的话语权。我也一直在学习驾驶,并且我会在18岁当天就去考驾照。妈妈十分担心
me being behind the wheel. As an ambulance driver, she's seen a lot of car accidents involving teenagers and thinks the legal age for getting a driving licence should be 21. But I think I’m already mature enough to understand that driving a car also means taking responsibility for my life and the lives of other people.
......我开车,作为一名救护车司机,她目睹过太多涉及青少年的车祸,她认为考驾照的法定年龄应该推迟到21岁。但是我觉得自己已经足够成熟,知道开车也意味着要对自己和他人的生命负责。
I celebrated my 18th birthday just before I went to university. I expected to feel instantly different, as if I had closed the door on my childhood and stepped into
a whole new adult world. But it wasn‘t like that. When I woke up the next day, there were still rules to obey and lessons to attend. In fact, the change has been more subtle and gradual than I imagined.
上大学前我刚满18岁。我曾经期待马上会有不一样的感觉,就好像自己关闭了童年的大门,踏进一个全新的成人世界。但是事实并非如此。第二天我醒来时,仍然有需要遵守的规则,需要参加的课程。事实上,这种变化比我想象的更微小,更平缓。
and gradual than I imagined. Instead of being the selfish
teenager I used to be, I have begun to feel more aware
of other people and to develop a stronger sense of social responsibility. To give an example, I will be signing an
organ donation agreement this time tomorrow. This was
a big decision for me and I made it without asking my parents (although I knew they would approve). Turning
相比自己之前那个自私的青少年角色,我已经开始更多地关注别人,并且去培养更强烈的社会责任感。比如说明天这个时候我将会签署器官捐赠意向书。这对我来说是个重大的决定,做出这个决定我并未征求父母的意见(虽然我知道他们会同意的)。
parents (although I knew they would approve). Turning
18 also changed the way that society viewed me. I was
really surprised when a bank contacted me with a credit card offer. Of course, I would like to have more freedom with money and no doubt I will be getting a credit card
at some point, but I currently don’t have a steady income, so getting a credit card might tempt me to spend more money than I have!
满18岁后,社会对待我的方式也改变了。有家银行给我打电话让我办理信用卡的时候,我非常惊讶。虽然我想在花钱方面更为自由,而且毫无疑问我将在未来的某个时间获得一张信用卡,但是我现在还没有稳定的收入,所以现在办理的话可能会让我透支!
People say that 18 marks a new chapter in our lives, and that we should become more independent. I
used to believe this, but the reality for me has been very different. I assumed I‘d already have a well-paid job and that I‘d be moving into a rented apartment
as soon as I turned 18, but how wrong I was! My
人们都说18岁意味着翻开人生的新篇章,我们应该变得更独立。我曾经也这样认为,但是事实并非如此。我以为我到18岁就能有一份新水不错的工作,能搬进自己租的公寓,我是多么异想天开呀!
as soon as I turned 18, but how wrong I was! My librarian‘s salary means that I’ll be living at home with my parents for a while longer. Because I contribute
to the household bills and my commute to work is quite expensive, I find it hard to save any money. I’ll
be starting a new job next month, however, so maybe things will get easier. I know I could get a bank loan to
作为一个图书管理员,我的工资只够我继续长时间和父母住在一起。因为我要分担家庭账单,而且我的通勤费用很高,所以我发现攒钱非常困难。下个月我会开始一份新工作,也许情况能有所好转。
things will get easier. I know I could get a bank loan to pay the deposit on my very own apartment, but I don’t feel ready to make that kind of commitment, and I do like my mom‘s cooking. I guess some responsibilities are more about attitude than age.
我知道我可以通过货款来支付购买自己公寓的订金,但我还无法向银行做出这种重大的承诺,而且我真的很喜欢吃妈妈做的饭。我觉得要想负起一些责任,更多的是关乎态度,而不是年龄。
