One reason is that although I蒺ve been working

and my commute to
work is quite expensive, I find it hard to save
any money. I蒺ll be starting a new job next
month, however, so maybe things will get

the deposit on my very own apartment, but I
don蒺t feel ready to make that kind of
commitment, and I do like my mom蒺s
cooking. 20.

成 年
在大多数国家, 进入
18
岁便意味着成
年。 但是到达成年这一里程碑到底意味着什
么呢? 你将完全主宰自己的生活吗? 你能够
用新奇的、 激动人心的方式来表达自己吗?
获得这种自由又会带来什么新的责任呢? 接
下来, 有三位年轻人会为我们讲述年满
18
岁对他们意味着什么 , 或是曾经意味了
什么。
贝萨妮
16
岁, 澳大利亚维多利亚州
我简直等不及想要到
18
岁了。 其中一
个原因是虽然我一毕业就工作了, 但是我依
然不能在下一届大选中投票。 为什么? 因为
我依然不满
18
岁。 但是我认为如果一个人
已经工作并且交税了, 那他应该对政府在支
配税收方面有一定的话语权。 我也一直在学
习驾驶, 并且我会在
18
岁当天就去考驾照。
妈妈十分担心我开车, 作为一名救护车司
机, 她目睹过太多涉及青少年的车祸, 她认
为考驾照的法定年龄应该推迟到
21
岁。 但
是我觉得自己已经足够成熟, 知道开车也意
味着要对自己和他人的生命负责。
林宁
19
岁, 中国上海
上大学前我刚满
18
岁。 我曾经期待马
上会有不一样的感觉, 就好像自己关闭了童
年的大门, 踏进一个全新的成人世界。 但是
事实并非如此。 第二天我醒来时, 仍然有需
要遵守的规则, 需要参加的课程。 事实上,
这种变化比我想象的更微小、 更平缓。 相比
自己之前那个自私的青少年角色, 我已经开
始更多地关注别人, 并且去培养更强烈的社
会责任感。 比如说, 明天这个时候我将会签
署器官捐赠意向书。 这对我来说是一个重大
的决定, 所以我征求了父母的同意。 满
18
岁后, 社会对待我的方式也改变了。 有家银
行给我打电话让我办理信用卡的时候, 我非
常惊讶。 虽然我想在花钱方面更为自由, 而
且毫无疑问我将在未来的某个时间获得一张
信用卡, 但是我现在还没有稳定的收入, 所
以现在办理的话可能会让我透支!
摩根
20
岁, 美国佛罗里达州
人们都说
18
岁意味着翻开人生的新篇
章, 我们应该变得更独立。 我曾经也这样认
为, 但是事实并非如此。 我以为我一到
18
岁就能有一份薪水不错的工作, 能搬进自己
租的公寓, 我是多么异想天开呀! 作为一个
图书管理员, 我的工资只够我继续长时间和
父母住在一起。 因为我要分担家庭账单, 而
且我的通勤费用很高, 所以我发现攒钱非常
困难。 不过下个月我会开始一份新工作, 也
许情况能有所好转。 我知道我可以通过贷款
来支付购买自己公寓的订金, 但我还无法向
银行做出这种重大的承诺, 而且我真的很喜
欢吃妈妈做的饭。 我觉得要想负起一些责
任, 更多的是关乎态度, 而不是年龄。
