Enjoying things? Ha! That's for kids.

那些小時候喜歡但長大後卻想遠離的東西

喜歡這個嗎?哈!這是孩子的東西。

A viral thread is polling the online community for the things they "loved as a kid but hate as an adult," and the responses are turning up all sorts of foods and experiences that most grown-ups are glad to leave behind.

最近外網的一個熱門話題問網友,什麼東西是他們“小時候喜歡但長大後卻不喜歡的”,網友回帖中出現了多數成年人都敬而遠之的各種食物和經歷。

Not surprisingly, thousands of users agreed that receiving mail — of both the snail and electronic kind — did not hold the same excitement as it did for the younger selves, largely thanks to the amount of junk mail and spam that currently fills most inboxes.

不出所料,數千名用戶一致認爲,收郵件(無論是紙本郵件還是電子郵件)不再像小時候那樣讓他們感到興奮,這主要是拜如今大多數郵箱中充斥的垃圾郵件所賜。

"It used to be all exciting gift cards, presents, cool magazine subscriptions and nice letters from family members and friends. Now it's 99% bills and solicitors," one user wrote.

一名用戶寫道:“過去郵箱裏都是令人興奮的賀卡、禮物、訂閱的酷雜誌和親友寫來的珍貴信件。但如今99%都是賬單和催款函。”

"But how else will you know when your car's warranty is about to expire?" another joked.

另一名網友開玩笑說:“不然你怎麼會知道你汽車的保修單什麼時候到期呢?”

Another once-exciting concept that no one seems to enjoy? Spending the night at a friend's house.

另一件曾經激動人心而今卻似乎無人喜歡的事情就是在朋友家過夜。

"Even if it's 2 am, I always choose to pay for the 47-minute Uber ride home so I can sleep in my own bed and wake up in my own house!" reads one popular comment.

一條人氣評論寫道:“即使是深夜2點,我也會選擇花47分鐘坐網約車回家,這樣就可以回自己的被窩睡覺,然後在自己的家裏醒來!”

"Cannot agree more," wrote another. "Just got back from a five-night vacation and all I want in the world is my own toilet and my own bed."

另一名用戶寫道:“完全同意。剛剛結束6天5晚的假期歸來,現在我想要的只有我自己的馬桶和我自己的牀。”

Plenty of foods — namely, junk foods — also got name-checked in the thread, including gelatin desserts, candy corn, excessive amounts of frosting, canned pasta, buffet-type restaurants and fast-food.

很多食物(都是垃圾食品)都在帖子中被點名,包括果凍、玉米糖、過多的糖霜、意麪罐頭、自助餐和快餐。

"Used to love [fast food] because my parents only allowed me to have it when we were on vacation so it was like a treat for me," wrote one user. "As an adult, their home cooked food is the treat now."

一位網友寫道:“過去我很愛吃快餐,因爲我父母只有在度假時才讓我吃,所以感覺很特別。成年後反而覺得,父母在家給我做的飯纔是美餐。”

In addition to mail, sleepovers and junky eats, Reddit's community offered hundreds of other examples of things they now hate, despite loving them as children. But the most interesting example of all, perhaps, was the concept of children themselves.

除了郵件、在朋友家過夜和垃圾食品外,網友們還提出了數百種小時候喜歡但長大後討厭的東西。其中最有趣的或許莫過於“孩子”這個提法。

"Other kids," wrote one user, who apparently can't stand children at the present moment.

一位網友(小時候喜歡但長大後討厭)的是:“其他小孩。”顯然這位用戶現在無法忍受小孩子。
