青少年成長恐懼癥

擔(dān)心孩子會在網(wǎng)上接觸到不好的東西，會被言情古裝穿越劇帶壞，會跟風(fēng)文身穿露臍裝……家長們常會對孩子的成長感到憂慮，覺得現(xiàn)在的社會環(huán)境不如自己小時候，他們其實患上了“青少年成長恐懼癥”。

Juvenoia is an exaggerated fear of the effects of social change on youth.
“青少年成長恐懼癥”指的是過分擔(dān)心社會的變化對青少年的影響。

Juvenoia refers to the baseless and exaggerated fear that the Internet and current social trends are having negative effects on children.
“青少年成長恐懼癥”指人們擔(dān)心網(wǎng)絡(luò)和當(dāng)前的社會潮流會對孩子產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響，但這種憂慮往往毫無根據(jù)且被夸大。

Juvenoia is manifest in a multitude of ways, including the belief that today's youth are worse behaved than ever before, despite much evidence to the contrary.
兒童成長恐懼癥在許多方面都有所體現(xiàn)，包括人們認(rèn)為如今年輕人表現(xiàn)得比過去要糟得多，但很多證據(jù)表明，事實與此恰恰相反。

Even in an Internet age, the kids are going to be fine. They may even turn out better than us.
即便在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)時代，孩子們也可以過得很好，他們會比我們發(fā)展得更好。

Juvenoia is the feeling that entertainment, social practices, fashion, etc was superior in one's past when compared with how these are practiced by younger generations in modern times.
如果你覺得你小時候的娛樂、社會實踐、時尚等等都比現(xiàn)在的年輕人所體驗到的要更好，那你就得了“青少年成長恐懼癥”。

例如：

Jim: "Back in my day, we weren't allowed to have any fun, and didn't want to either! We plowed fields and went straight from toddler to adulthood... it was great!"
吉姆：“我們小時候，家長不讓我們怎么玩兒，我們自己也不想！”我們幫忙做農(nóng)活兒，從孩子直接長成了大人……這很好！”

Bob: "Jim, I'm afraid you're suffering from what's commonly known as juvenoia."
鮑勃：“吉姆，我覺得你得了人們常說的青少年成長恐懼癥”。
