随着科技的发展,环境日益受到破坏,天不再蓝、水不再清的变化使人们开始注意自己的行为对自然的影响。如今,很多人不再喜欢铺张浪费,而崇尚那种返璞归真,尽量少影响环境的低碳生活(small-footpring living)。
Small-footprint living refers to a lifestyle that minimizes one's impact on the environment.
“低碳生活是指一种将人对环境的影响降至最低的生活方式。
Small-footprint直译是“足迹极小,而根据词条的解释,我们可以看出,其实small-footprint中间是省略了carbon的。因此,这个词实际是“small carbon footprint living (碳足迹极小的生活),也就是低碳生活。除了这种说法,low-carbon life也表达相同的意思。
For example:
Given their lower income relative to previous generations, many urban Millennials favor small-footprint living: studios, a few one bedrooms, some congregate housing, and micro-units.
考虑到相较前几代人收入水平较低,许多城市里的00后更喜欢低碳生活的方式:小型公寓房,一居室,集合公寓以及微型单元。
