rumspringa是什么意思

Rumspringa (also Rumschpringe or Rumshpringa, derived from the Pennsylvania German term for "running around") generally refers to a period of adolescence for some members of the Amish, a subsect of the Anabaptist Christian movement, that begins around the age of sixteen and ends when a youth chooses baptism within the Amish church or instead leaves the community.^[1] The vast majority choose baptism and remain in the church.^[2] Not all Amish use this term (it does not occur in Hostetler's extended discussion of adolescence), but in sects that do, Amish elders generally view this as a time for courtship and finding a spouse.^[2]

源自宾夕法尼亚州的德国人，原意为“到处跑跑”。是阿米什人青春期到来的时期的意思。相当于“开斋”。可以过一段疯狂的日子。这段日子过后，他们又回复到守旧传统的生活方式中。
