双语长图丨成年人过儿童节的最佳辩护词

北岛这句诗描绘了孩童时代最动人的特质——对世界充满轻盈的期待。在这个脚步匆匆的世界里,保持童心,意味着拒绝被完全同化,意味着仍然好奇星空、愿意为一片好看的云停下脚步。成年人过儿童节,本质上是一场“浪漫的抵抗”——抵抗无趣,抵抗麻木,那些被现实压缩的梦想、被规则束缚的浪漫,会在儿童节欢快的氛围中短暂苏醒。
引用这些名言,不是为了给“装嫩”找借口,而是想证明:童心无关年龄,而是一种选择。所以,今年的儿童节,不妨理直气壮地过。因为守护内心那个小孩,本就是终身成长的必修课。
It's no longer a novelty for adults to celebrate Children's Day. According to the “2024 China Toy and Child Product Industry Development White Paper,“ categories targeting adults, such as model mechs, cards, and garage kits, have all seen growth exceeding 100%. Particularly during last year's Children's Day, adults emerged as the main consumers in this sector. Children's Day has become a carnival for 'expired kids'—why are adults so eager to celebrate it? Perhaps the answer can be found in those aphorisms about “childlike innocence.“
“The simple child again, free from all stains.“ ——Laozi
Laozi proposed in the “Tao Te Ching“ that the highest virtue is to return to the pure state of a baby. Babies have no calculation, no hypocrisy; they cry when hungry and laugh when happy. “Returning to the state of a baby“ means regaining the authenticity and freedom of life at its inception.
Celebrating Children's Day is a way for modern people to embrace Laozi's wisdom by setting aside social facades and allowing themselves to be simple and happy like children.
“Baby was so free from every tie in the land of the tiny crescent moon.“ ——Tagore
