■意味を考えてみよう。今日取り上げる単語が含まれています。
Fainting spells and neurotic angst are not uncommon.
When grim reality kicks in, they scramble for jobs
because their student-loan debts loom.
What's new is soaring tuitions, lower government
guarantees for student loans, a long-frozen minimum wage,
rising costs for student housing and dollars worth
less as inflation creeps up.
In other words, no job security of family togetherness
could be taken for granted.
Talk about rose-colored glasses!
