Aschen: I'm a poor birdie with no legs. Living in this city far away from my parents and brother, I need to rent a home and move around a lot. But I enjoy this feeling as one of the bird people clan.

鸟人族
Bird People
This refers to people who move their home frequently, on an average of two to three times a year, in a city like Shanghai. Their purpose is to find novel living environments, new lifestyles or to meet particular personal needs, such as sleeping in an absolutely quiet room.
“鸟人族”指的是那些经常搬家，平均每年搬两到三次的人。他们通常居住在城市里，例如上海。他们搬家的目的是为了寻找新奇的居住环境、新的生活方式，或者是为了满足个人特别的需要，例如在一个绝对安静的房间里睡觉。
布波族 / 波波族
Bo-bos
The word is shorthand for Bourgeois-Bohemians, which refers to the young who have the hybrid characteristics of the 1960s hippies and 1980s yuppies. They are well-educated and barely bound by tradition, prefer fashionable clothes and modern appliances, but are always moving their home between cities and the countryside to avoid a stereotyped life.
Bo-bos是由Bourgeois-Bohemians（布尔乔亚—波西米亚）简写而来，指的是那些具有60年代嬉皮士和80年代雅皮士混合特征的年轻人。他们通常都受过良好的教育，不太遵守传统，比较喜欢时髦的衣服和用品，但是却喜欢在城市和乡村之间搬来搬去居住，目的是为了避免单调的生活。
Handling Finances
月光族、拼一族：以不同的方式消费
月光族
Moonlite
This concocted Chinese term is the moniker for people who always spend all their salaries or earnings before the end of the month. The first Chinese character in the term means 襪onthand the second 襩eaving nothing behind.
这个编造出来的中文词组，其实是为那些总是在月底前把工资或者收入花光光的人群而起的绰号。第一个中文字的意思指的是“月度”的意思，而第二个中文字则是“什么也不剩”的意思。
拼一族
The Pooling Clan
Urban young people in China are expanding the concept of carpooling to Go-Dutch-type cost sharing of glossy magazines, pricey dinners, promotion coupons and whatever else they feel is too expensive to pay alone.
中国城市的年轻人越来越推行这样的消费观念，就是合伙消费一些高消费品，例如汽车、奢侈的杂志、昂贵的饭局、促销优惠券，以及其它他们认为个人无法独立承担的高消费品。
Ways of Living
飘一族、飞特族、奔奔族：以不同的方式生活
飘一族
Drifting Generation
Those who give up their decent jobs to pursue their career dreams are called the drifting generation. They will move to wherever their dream is beckoning them. They live on odd jobs, mostly freelance, and live in rented houses, varying from a shabby shed to a serviced apartment.
那些为了追求职业梦想而放弃得体工作的人被称之为飘一族。只要他们感受到梦想的吸引，无论是在哪里，他们都会去追随。他们干零活谋生，大部分为自由职业者，租房子住，包括从破旧的屋棚到酒店式公寓等各式房子。
飞特族
Freeters
This is a combination of the English word “free”and the German word “arbeiter” , which means worker. It refers to those who work only when they feel they need some money. They have a working time more flexible than freelancers. Usually freeters work part-time in IT, advertising or other media outlets and most of them are well known in their field.
Freeters是由英语单词“free（自由）”和德语单词“arbeiter（工人）”组合而成的。是指那些只有在需要钱的时候才去工作的人。他们有一个比自由职业者更灵活的工作时间安排。通常飞特族在IT业、广告业或者其它传媒相关行业从事兼职工作，而且他们大部分都在各自的工作领域里享有一定的知名度。
奔奔族
Rushing Clan
This refers to those people between 20 and 30 years old born into a common family who are highly dependent on the Internet for their social lives but highly independent in thinking, highly pressed by financial burdens and highly likely to become a “card slaveor “house slave ”.
奔奔族指的是那些来自普通家庭环境的20到30岁的人群，他们非常依赖互联网上的人际网，但同时又非常懂得独立思考，经受着高强度的经济压力，往往很容易变成“信用卡奴”或者“房奴”。
