The term Xiaozi came into its current meaning in the 1990s as China 's growing economy permitted new heights of consumer indulgence .

归根到底，小资的概念似乎是中国特有的，对此我们不用太强求。

Many Chinese people see home ownership as the mark of an eligible bachelor , but Xiaozi regard such notions with disdain .

Xiaozi aren 't particularly countercultural ( except that they often pursue an interest in things that are considered " un-Chinese " ) .

这样的选择可能满足了个人的需求，但小资“今朝有酒今朝醉”的心态却让老辈人对下一代未来的经济基础有所担心。

Today 's discussion in China about Xiaozi and their supposed flaws reminds me of nothing more than the debates about " hipsters " that circulated in New York City when I lived there .

今天在中国关于小资及其所谓缺陷的讨论，和我住在纽约时针对四处游荡的“嬉皮士”的辩论没什么两样。

A short list of Xiaozi accoutrements includes coffee , Haruki Murakami 's " Norwegian Wood , " French cuisine , the Houhai neighborhood in Beijing , European films , Apple computers , the city of Shanghai and Adidas - though a real Xiaozi would never admit to their addictions so bluntly .

咖啡、村上春树的《挪威的森林》、法国美食、北京后海一带、欧洲电影、苹果电脑、城市上海和阿迪达斯——均属小资必备，尽管真正的小资从来不会如此直率地承认他们对这些有瘾。
