resign nakedly (resigning from a job without a backup plan)/ 裸辞/ (luǒcí)

A: Watching variety shows again?

又看综艺节目呢?

(yòukàn zōnɡyì jiémùne?)

B: A celebrity recently said that resigning nakedly somehow saved him.

最近有明星说裸辞在某种程度上是在拯救自己。

(zuìjìn yǒumínɡxīnɡ shuōluǒcí zàimǒuzhǒnɡ chénɡdùshànɡ shìzài zhěnɡjiù zìjǐ.) 

A: Should resigning nakedly be encouraged? 

难道裸辞行为应该被鼓励吗？

(nándào luǒcí xínɡwéi yīnɡɡāibèiɡǔlìma?)

B: So you don't think young people should be encouraged to resign nakedly then?  

那么你认为不该鼓励年轻人裸辞？

(nàme nǐrènwéi bùɡāi ɡǔlì niánqīnɡrén luǒcí?)

A: I still value the independence and security of life. Resigning nakedly might make people feel happy for a while and it seems doing so might relieve them from despair, but the days that follow will not be easy to survive.

我还是看重生活上的独立和保障,裸辞一时痛快,表面上从绝境中得到解脱,可接下来的日子不容易撑过去。

B: That makes sense. After all, not everyone is able to find another job in a short time. 

你说得有道理,毕竟不是每个人都有实力在短期内找到下一份工作。
