玻璃心 Bōlíxīn
ADJ. (Literal meaning is glass heart)
Like the English word “snowflake,” it means sensitive, emotional, fragile, or vulnerable. We use it to describe people whose feelings get hurt easily. Although it looks like a noun, it is actually an adjective.
Sometimes we convey the same idea in a different way. For example, instead of using the word “glass heart,” we could say “玻璃碎掉了” (Bōlí suì diàole, the glass shattered).
可以不要那麼玻璃心嗎?可以不要那么玻璃心吗?
Please don’t be such a snowflake!
他非常玻璃心，你最好小心說話他非常玻璃心，你最好小心说话
He is a total snowflake, you’d better watch what you say
我覺得我聽到玻璃碎掉的聲音了我觉得我听到玻璃碎掉的声音了
I think I heard the sound of breaking glass.
(I guess you are a snowflake.)
Conversation
English Translation
Don’t you think the spaghetti mom made is a little bland?
Um, I really want to add some salt and pepper.
Then why didn’t you do it? I thought I was the only one who felt the spaghetti was bland!
No way. You know that Mom is very sensitive! She was upset with me for a whole day because I said her sandwich was a little bit salty last time.
Right. If we really add some salt and pepper, we’ll probably hear the sound of glass shattering.
