「内卷」是什么意思?

内卷

nèi juàn


哦,这个词超级流行!

"内卷"的意思是,大家在一个圈子里不停地互相竞争,但其实没有人真正进步,只是越来越累。

举个例子,你们班同学本来九点睡觉就够了,但有一个人开始学到十一点,然后大家都觉得自己也要学到十一点,后来变成所有人都学到凌晨两点——成绩没变好,人都累坏了。这就是内卷。

在中国,这个词特别常用来说工作和学习的竞争。比如你可以说"现在职场太内卷了,大家都加班到很晚,但工资一点没涨。"或者朋友问你为什么这么累,你可以说"没办法,太卷了。"

对了,很多人也把"内卷"直接说成"卷",意思一样,更简短。

总的来说,内卷就是一种没有意义的、让所有人都很痛苦的竞争。
