[中英对照]不爱看<青春有你>因为青春不在了？(4)

高中时我有一阵疯狂的迷爱情剧，比如还珠格格和丑女贝蒂这种，每天晚上不看完坚决不睡觉。我爸妈很不理解，都快高考了为什么还看这些亲来亲去爱来爱去的无聊电视剧？那会儿，在我心里，他们就是过时的代名词。现在想来，我好像正在步入父母的后尘？不管我如何坚持认为现在流行的东西都很无聊，事实就是——我已经跟时代有点脱节了。
I remember in high school when I was hooked on all the romantic shows domestic and abroad, like 还珠格格 and Ugly Betty (the Columbia version). Each night, I couldn’t go to bed unless I finished watching them on TV. My parents, at that time, considered my choice quite incomprehensible, wondering why I would spend so much time watching guys and girls kissing and talking about love when the college entrance exam was right around the corner. In my mind, they were out, narrow-minded, and irrelevant. Come to think of it, isn’t what I am doing exactly like what my parents did? No matter how hard I insist that the shows at my time are simply superior, the truth is: this is a sign that I am no longer relating to the pop culture, which is indeed an indication that I am getting older.

人只要到了一定的年龄，就必须经历这个过程：从第一个孩子叫你“叔叔”时，就开始不断地跟现实斗争与和解，逐渐接受自己不再年轻的事实。以前你是祖国的花朵、早晨七八点钟的太阳，现在你是花朵们的叔叔阿姨爸爸妈妈。不过，也正是在这个疑惑和思想斗争的过程让我们逐渐成熟起来，为接下来的角色和生活做准备，没有人是一夜之间长大或变老的。其实，接不接受一部真人秀、一个视频软件或者一种生活方式没什么大不了的，跟时代脱节也不可怕，这些只能反应每个人的喜好和价值观，而任何一种价值观都有其存在的价值，每个阶段或年代的人也都有自己的幸福。
