Could it be we are mollycoddling young people for longer - that means protecting them and looking after them?

或许是我们对孩子们太溺爱了--也就是说过度保护和照顾他们？

When you mollycoddle someone, you are treating that person with an excessive or absurd degree of indulgence or attention.

当你溺爱某人时，你就是在以过度或荒谬的程度的纵容或关注对待那个人。

Regardless, mollycoddle was formed by combining the " pamper" sense of coddle with the word Molly, a nickname for Mary.

无论如何，mollycoddle 是由 coddle 的“宠爱”意义与 Molly（玛丽的昵称）一词结合而成。

In its earliest known uses in the mid-1800s, mollycoddle was a noun, a disparaging and now-dated synonym of our modern word wimp.

最早的已知用法是在 1800 年代中期，mollycoddle 是一个名词，是我们现代单词 wimp 的贬义词， 现在已经过时了。

In Spain 46% of young people under the age of 25 are out of work because there is a two-tier system, with mollycoddled “permanent” workers and easy-to-fire “temporary” workers, who are disproportionately young.

在西班牙，25岁以下的46%的年轻人由于受双层体制-一方面是娇生惯养中永久的工作者，一方面是随时可以被解雇的临时工作者-的影响而失业。后者和他们的年纪轻轻相比不成比例。
