你身边有“格格党”吗-英语点津

去年，“寂寞党”曾经在网络上掀起一股风潮，于是乎，我们无论做什么，都是与寂寞有关。可是你知道吗？在职场中也有这么一群人风头很劲，他们被称为“格格党（princess clan）”，领导看见他们头疼，同事看见他们皱眉。你身边有这样的人吗？

Princess clan is a workplace expression used to describe those who were mostly born after 1985, take their job as play, pay too much attention to their own needs and are too socially unsophisticated to heed public standards.

“格格党”是职场的一种称呼，指的是85后出生，视工作如儿戏，过度关注自己的利益，无法得到社会公共标准认同的这样一群人。

Called “princess clan”, but the term doesn’t necessarily refer to females only. The word “princess” here has two implications: first, “ge ge”, the Chinese equivalent for “princess”, means people in this clan are mostly spoiled and thus very much self-centered; second, “ge ge” is also the first two words of the Chinese idiom “ge ge bu ru (square peg in a round hole)”, implying that those people cannot fit in the workplace philosophy.

虽然叫做“格格党”，但这个称呼并不仅仅指女性。“格格”这个词在这里有两重意思：第一，“格格”表示这一类人多是娇生惯养，以自我为中心；第二，“格格”同时也是成语“格格不入”的前两个字，暗示这些人在职场中格格不入。
