对中国80后、90后来说自我价值才是奢侈品

　　As generations evolve, so too do their markers of luxury.

　　随着代际更迭，奢侈的标志也在变化。

　　Price points, heritage and access barriers that once defined luxury along a clear spectrum have given way to something more multi-dimensional for Chinese millennial consumers.

　　价格、品牌历史、入手门槛这些曾经代表奢侈的明确标准，在中国的千禧一代面前，已经让位于一些更多元的东西了。

　　不管是80后、90后亦或是95后，这个强大的人群正在重新定义“富裕的消费”这个概念，而当他们在为自己的身份寻找更高纬度的同时，他们也在拓展着“奢侈”的定义。

　　Unlike their western equivalents, however, Chinese millennials have created a value system of human intangibles that speak to their own unique needs and experiences.

　　与西方的同龄人不同，中国的千禧一代创造了自己的关于无形资产的价值观，这个价值观体现着他们独特的需求与体验。
