What is slack birds　什么是倦鸟族
     In modern society, people are divided into different groups according to their features, such as the "thumb tribe", the "moonlight clan", the "strawberry generation", the "rush-to-get-pregnant tribe", the"quirky alone" and the "ant tribe". Now there is another group of people named the "slack birds". "Slack" means "sluggish" and "indolence"in addition to "tired" while the word "bird" can be used as the popular name of human beings.
     These "slack birds" suffer from an illness of "business tiredness"with its common performance of frequently feeling exhausted while working, easy to get emotional swing, always thinking lightly of themselves, suffering a decrease of working quality, lacking working activity, frequent job-hopping and low working efficiency.
     Many young people don't have an obvious career planning. They don't know what they want and change jobs again and again without any goals. Because lacking the enthusiasm on work, they are unwilling to devote themselves to their job or feel frustrated while working. Their negative attitude towards working not only prevents their own development, but cause severe effect on the companies, which suffer the decrease of service quality and instability of employment.
     Apart from the reason of employees themselves, the employers are another aspect that should be responsible for this situation. High threshold and low salary hinders people from finding a satisfying job that they are interested in. In order to survive in this high competitive society, many people, especially graduate students chose the jobs that they don't like or even not familiar with. They work just for making live rather than for fun, the result of which is obvious.
     For the purpose of resoling this problem, the government should offer more opportunities for people. Working in the field that they are interest in can fully explore their potential capacity and make more contribution to the whole society.
     倦鸟族 (slack birds )，倦鸟中的"倦"除指包含疲倦之意外，还有懈怠、懒散、低迷的意思，因此疲倦(tired)一词难以表达出该词的全部信息。考虑到"倦鸟"之"倦"的特定含义，不妨以"slack"一词译之。另外，在英语中,"bird"(鸟)一词也可用做"人"的俗称,因此,综合以上分析,"倦鸟族"可译为"slack birds"。
