Trustafarian is a young person from a wealthy background whose trust fund enables him or her to eschew1 conventional attitudes to work, dress,etc.

信托自由兒是那種來自富裕家庭的青年。他擁有些信托基金讓他可以不需要遵循世俗的工作態度和衣著方法。

A trustafarian often wears his or her hair in natural styles. Although able to purchase fashionable designer clothing, a trustafarian prefers to wear thrift2 store clothes, inexpensive t-shirts, worn jeans and other hippie or bohemian accessories. Many trustafarians studiously avoid fashion trends or expensive jewelry3 in order to maintain their hippie or slacker image.

信托自由兒的發型一般都非常自然。雖然有能力購買一些流行的設計師服飾,信托自由兒卻更想穿舊貨店的衣服,實惠的T恤,破舊的牛仔褲,戴著嬉皮士或波西米亞風格的配飾。不少信托自由兒都刻意避開流行時尚或者昂貴珠寶,只為維持自己嬉皮或懶散的形象。

While many young people would envy a lifestyle without the pressures of work or financial support, a trustafarian may become bored with his or her role as the son or daughter of a wealthy industrialist4 or celebrity5. This is why a number of trust fund recipients6 decide to rebel against the trappings of materialism7 and become slackers or social dropouts instead. A trustafarian knows he or she will never actually run out of money, so adopting a more hedonistic or Bohemian lifestyle for a short period of time would be relatively8 risk-free.

雖然不少青年可能嫉妒他們的日常沒工作重壓,也無需爸爸媽媽的財政支援,但信托自由兒卻可能厭倦自己作為一個富裕企業家或名人的兒子或女兒的身份。這也是為何不少信托基金寶貝決定和物質主義對著干,寧做逍遙散人。信托自由兒了解我們的錢是用之不竭的,所以過上一小段享樂主義或放浪不羈的生活也是沒什么風險的。
