The ‘slash generation’ is comprised of the growing population of under 35s who are choosing to follow unconventional and multi-faceted career paths. They often juggle several different roles, at different times of day, in order to ultimately build a work/life balance that fulfills both financial and creative needs.“斜杠一代”是由越来越多的35岁以下的人所组成,他们选择了非传统的和多样性的职业道路。他们经常在一天中的不同时间里担任几个不同的角色,为了最终可以平衡工作和生活,满足经济和创造性之需。
而“ / ”就是各个身份之间的分隔符号,在中文里可以把它读成“兼”。所以一个身兼多职的人在介绍自己身份的时候就可以说 I'm a slash。
