'It should be reassuring for parents to know that it's very typical in the 20s not to know what you're going to do and change your mind and seem very unstable in your life. It's the norm,' says Jeffrey J. Arnett, a professor of psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., who coined the term 'emerging adulthood' in 2000.

马萨诸塞州伍斯特市（Worcester）克拉克大学（Clark University）的心理学教授杰弗里・J・阿内特（Jeffrey J. Arnett）在2000年的时候新造了“始成年期”一词，他说，“人在20多岁时的典型特征是不清楚自己将来要做什么，常改变想法，生活看似很不稳定，家长们如果了解这一点就应该放下心来。”

For young adults, it can be a stressful time. High rates of anxiety, depression, motor-vehicle accidents and alcohol use are at their peak from 18 to 25, trends that tend to level out by age 28, studies show. And a recent survey by Clark University, which polled more than 1,000 young adults nationwide, found that 72% said this time of life was stressful and 33% said they were often depressed. Still, 89% believed they would eventually get what they want out of life.

对于刚刚成年的年轻人来说，这可能是一个充满压力的时期。研究表明，焦虑、抑郁、机动车事故和喝酒的比率在18-25岁之间达到高峰，这种态势往往到28岁才趋于平稳。克拉克大学最近对全国1,000多名刚成年的年轻人所做的一项问卷调查发现，72%的人说人生的这一阶段充满压力，33%的人称他们经常感到郁闷。尽管如此，还是有89%的人相信他们最终会得到自己的生活所求。
