信托自由儿
Trust是“信托”,trustafarian是什么意思呢?请看对话:
A: I’m kind of curious about our classmate Sarah. She never talks about her family.
B: I’m pretty sure she is a trustafarian. It’s totally evidenced by the combination of her brand-new car and nice digs with her “earthy” clothes and dreadlocks.
Note: Consisting of “trust” (trust fund) and “-afarian” (Rastafarian), this word refers to priviliged children who subsribe to the hippie lifestyle since they have no worries about money or a job. A trustafarian may become bored with his or her role as the son or daughter of a wealthy industrialist or celebrity and decide to rebel against the trappings of materialism. They can devote their lives to eating organic, following Phish, and wearing dreadlocks. Their trust fund enables him or her to eschew conventional attitudes to work and dress.
