Chinese term or phrase: 现代人的内心空虚
文章主要讲的是现代人因为不习惯去思考自身的高层次感情需求,比如自尊、亲情、归属感,导致了生活变得很空虚。比如说过节只变成吃吃喝喝,没有去思考节日背后代表的意义,也就没有了浓浓的亲情味道,所以人们越来越感觉不到过年的幸福感。

“现代人的内心空虚”是这篇文章的标题,我才疏学浅,实在想不出什么好的标题,望指教。

Asker: 其实我翻译老师给的参考答案是Spring festival and emptiness,他说mordern不常用来形容人,一般是说modern society, mordern times。不知你有什么看法?

Asker: Hey, thank you anyway. 我觉得emptiness的这个词会比较恰当一点。void我查到的意思是 An emptiness caused by the loss of something.比如说:his loss leaves a void in the community.
