人们常以黄金比喻人生壮年或事业发展的顶峰,那么以白金比喻退休后的老年恐怕也合适不过,因为白金比之于黄金具有更高的纯度。渡边淳一在几近耄耋之年大声疾呼:“请将经历了漫长人生和岁月磨砺,心灵深处潜藏着光芒的人们称为——白金一代!”他还自告奋勇为白金一代代言:“我们,不被世俗左右,充满好奇心态,追求人生所爱;不惜赞美他人,不忘自赏自爱,优雅洒脱有点‘坏’!” People often use gold metaphor of the peak of their lives or career development, so the metaphor of platinum after retirement may be appropriate for the elderly, because platinum has a higher purity than gold. Junichi Watanabe shouted loudly in the midst of the grudge: “Please refer to those people who have lived through the long life and the years and lurked in their hearts - the Platinum generation!” He also volunteered for the Platinum generation: We, not being secular or so, are full of curiosity and the pursuit of love in our lives. They do not hesitate to praise others and never forget their self-love.
