怀旧 huáijiù nostalgia
潮 cháo trend
噱头 xuétóu gimmick
招揽 zhāolǎn to drum up trade; to attract customers
时下特别流行怀旧潮啊，你看这餐厅都打着七零后，八零后的噱头来招揽生意，里面的布置呈现的都是当时课堂里的情形呢。还有黑板报，真亲切
shíxià tèbié liúxíng huáijiù cháo ā ，nǐ kàn zhè cāntīng dōu dǎ zhe qīlínghòu ，bālínghòu de xuétóu lái zhāolǎn shēngyì ，lǐmiàn de bùzhì chéngxiàn de dōu shì dāngshí kètáng lǐ de qíngxing ne 。háiyǒu hēibǎnbào ，zhēn qīnqiē
Nostalgia is really fashionable right now. Look, this restaurant is using gimmicks popular among those born in the 1970s and 1980s to drum up business. The decoration inside is styled after the classrooms of the time. And there's even news on a blackboard, how charming.
是啊！人之常情吧，在社会上摸爬滚打久了，自然免不了怀旧一番。我是八零后咯，虽然说这么多年都过去了可当时上小学的情形还历历在目呢。
shì a ！rénzhīchángqíng ba ，zài shèhuì shàng mōpágǔndǎ jiǔ le ，zìrán miǎnbuliǎo huáijiù yī fān 。wǒ shì bālínghòu lo ，suīránshuō zhème duō nián dōu guòqù le kě dāngshí shàng xiǎoxué de qíngxing hái lìlìzàimù ne 。
Yeah! It's a common state of affairs. When going through challenging times in society, it's natural to be unable to avoid getting a bit nostalgic. I was born in the 1980s and although so many years have gone by, the way my elementary school classroom looked at that time is still really vivid in my mind.
谁说不是呢，我啊，印象最深的就是加入少先队，挂红领巾，每周一国旗下讲话，升国旗唱国歌，还有每周五的少先队活动，我是两条杠，中队长，活动都是我主持的。
shéi shuō bùshì ne ，wǒ ā ，yìnxiàng zuìshēn de jiùshì jiārù shǎoxiānduì ，guà hóng lǐngjīn ，měizhōuyī guóqí xià jiǎnghuà ，shēng guóqí chàng guógē ，háiyǒu měizhōuwǔ de shǎoxiānduì huódòng ，wǒ shì liǎng tiáo gàng ，zhōngduìzhǎng ，huódòng dōu shì wǒ zhǔchí de 。
Tell me about it! As for me, the thing that left the deepest impression with me was joining the Young Pioneers, wearing the red scarf, making speeches every Monday at the flag lowering, and singing the National anthem at the flag raising, as well as the Young Pioneer activities every Friday, ha ha. I was a two striper and a squadron leader, so I presided over all the activities.
我的天哪，你是有多么地根红苗正啊。不过我也是，就是那个在下面喊口号的，“时刻准备着，为了共产主义事业而奋斗！”
wǒ de tiānnǎ ，nǐ shì yǒu duōme de gēnhóngmiáozhèng ā 。bùguò wǒ yě shì ，jiùshì nàge zàixiàmiàn hǎn kǒuhào de ，“shíkè zhǔnbèi zhe ，wèile gòngchǎnzhǔyì shìyè ér fèndòu ！”
My gosh, you really are a good communist through and through. But I am too, I was the one calling out the slogans under the flag, "Ready at any moment, to struggle in the Communist project."
