英语新词：高端的“环球村民” 你造吗？

 　　出去旅行是很多人都喜欢的事情，不过在出行风格上不同的群体风格有所差异。学生族、工薪族可能会选择结伴穷游，处于人生黄金收入期的中年精英人士则可能会选择高端定制游。

　　Globizen refers to Gen Xers and Yers, 35-50, at the peak oftheir earning potential, who consider travel part of their lives,both for business and pleasure. According to a recent column,globizens are demanding, have high expectations, get theirtravel recommendations from people who've been there or know other people who've been there— for months. They want to "experience" a place like a local — but a high-end local (upscale localapartments, for instance).

　　“环球村民”指年龄在35到50岁之间的X一代和Y一代人群，他们正处于收入高峰时期，把旅行视为生活的一部分，公差或休假皆可。最近的一篇博文指出，“环球村民”们要求高、期望高，会花几个月的时间从去过旅行目的地的人那里获取出行推荐信息。他们想要像当地人一样“体验”某个地方，但他们要的是高端的当地人待遇(比如，高档公寓)。

　　They also have an "incessant¹ desire to share," and because you cannot pry² their fingers from theirgadgets, they'll be documenting their venturing (they want to "chart new territory, pushthemselves to the limit") via, well, you know the litany …

　　他们同时还有“极其强烈的分享欲望”，反正你不可能把他们的手指从移动设备上挪开，他们会在那里编撰他们的冒险之旅(想要“征服新领地，挑战极限”之类的)，然后写成一篇冗长的文字分享。

　　"They are the most sophisticated and demanding group of travelers the industry has seen — farmore than either baby boomers or millennials," according to Luxury Daily columnist³ TammySmulders.

　　《Luxury Daily》的专栏作家Tammy表示：“他们是旅游行业见过的最难懂、要求最高的游客，比婴儿潮一代或千禧一代都难搞。”
