Just like US teenagers use “LOL” (laugh out loud) when commenting on a funny video, China’s post-00s generation, a group born between 2000 and 2009, like to use “Xswl” (laughing my head off) . 美国青少年在评论一段搞笑视频时会用“LOL”（大笑），而中国的00后（生于2000年-2009年的一代人）则喜欢用“Xswl”（笑死我了）。 Unlike millennials, China’s post-00s were exposed to the internet as kids, when China entered the age of mobile and social media. 和千禧一代不同的是，随着中国进入移动和社交媒体时代，“00后”自童年时代起便开始接触互联网。 In the back-to-school season, Tencent，together with Chinese news site Qdaily, made a creative advertisement about “black talk”, which refers to the special forms of expression used by China’s post-00s. 开学季来临，腾讯与中国新闻网站“好奇心日报”共同打造了一款关于“黑话”的创意广告，展现了中国“00后”独特的表达用语。 Black talk uses acronyms based on pinyin that has gone viral on social media. For example, post-00s internet users like to use “ycy” instead of the full name of Yang Chaoyue, a member of the hit Chinese talent show Produce 101. Other expressions like “cqy” – making friends in messaging software QQ – and “nss” – leaving heart-warming comments on social networking site Qzone – are other elements of black talk. 源于拼音首字母缩写的“黑话”在社交媒体上走红。比如，“00后”网友喜欢用“ycy”来代表热门选秀节目《创造101》中的选手杨超越。其他表达如“cqy”（“处Q友”，在通讯软件QQ上成为好友）以及“nss”（“暖说说”，在社交网站QQ空间上留下暖心的评论）则是“黑话” 的其他形式。 Acronyms and shortened expressions may be popular as they offer shorter ways of communicating. For teenagers, they could also allow them to communicate in their own way. 首字母缩写和简化用语或许因其方便沟通而大受欢迎。对于青少年而言，这些“黑话”还能让他们用自己的方式进行沟通。 According to Tencent’s 2018 Research Report on Post-00s, more than half of the post-00s surveyed said that they make decisions by themselves. They like to discover new interests, and the internet serves as a great tool to try different things. Due to their frequent use of social media, members of this generation also quickly adapt to interpersonal communication. 据腾讯2018年发布的《腾讯00后研究报告》显示，超过半数的受访“00后”表示，很多决定都是自己做的。他们喜欢发现新兴趣，而互联网则成为了他们尝试不同事物的一大工具。由于频繁地使用社交媒体，“00后”这一代人也能很快适应人际交往。 Growing up in the world of the internet, digital savvy post-00s are expected to rise further in future. “Many people are stereotyping the post-00s. But what you see is just [who we are] in a particular period in time. After 10 or 20 years, you will see the post 00s generation shine,” Wang Yuan, a member of teenage band TFBoys, told the Global Times. 成长于互联网世界，对数码产品很懂行的“00后”在未来将会有进一步的发展。“不少人都对‘00后’有着刻板印象。但他们所看到的只是我们在某一特定时间段内的样子。10年或者20年后，大家会看到‘00后’的闪光点，”少年组合TFBoys成员王源在接受《环球时报》采访时表示。 As some universities have welcomed their first groups of post 00s students this September, it’s easy to realize that post-00s will soon become the backbone of society. “In many ways, generational change is like the seasons; the changes are very gradual,” Michael Wood, of education research firm 747 Insights, told Business Insider. 今年9月，随着一些高校迎来了首批“00后”新生，不难看出，“00后”很快就会成为这个社会的中坚力量。“在很多方面，更新换代就像四季更迭；变化都是循序渐进的，”来自教育调研公司747 Insights的迈克尔·伍德在接受《商业内幕》采访时表示。
