Metamodernism is a cultural and philosophical movement that emerged in early 21st century, reacting to the perceived limitation of both modernism and postmodernism.

元現代主義是 21 世紀初興起的一場文化和哲學運動，它對現代主義和後現代主義的侷限性做出了反應。

While modernism is often associated with a belief in progress, grand narratives, and objective truths, and postmodernism with skepticism, irony, and the rejection of these narratives, metamodernism seeks to move beyond both.

現代主義通常與相信進步、宏大敘事和客觀真理聯繫在一起，後現代主義則與懷疑主義、反諷和拒絕這些敘事聯繫在一起，而元現代主義則試圖超越這兩者。

Metamodernism oscillates between modernist idealism and postmodernist cynicism, embracing a mix of sincerity and irony, hope and doubt, and engagement and detachment.

元現代主義在現代主義的理想主義和後現代主義的憤世嫉俗之間搖擺不定，將真誠與諷刺、希望與懷疑、參與與疏離融為一體。

For example, when metamodernists pray, they do so with understanding that it might be a coping mechanism, fully aware that expecting supernatural intervention might not be entirely rational.

例如，當元現代主義者祈禱時，他們會理解這可能是一種應對機制，並充分意識到期待超自然的干預可能並不完全合理。

Yet, they continue to pray, embracing the act with a mix of sincerity and irony.

然而，他們仍在繼續祈禱，帶著真誠和諷刺的態度接受這一行為。

They acknowledge the comfort it brings, even when recognizing the improbability of divine intervention, reflecting the metamodernist's ability to hold conflicting beliefs and emotions in balance.

即使認識到神的干預是不可能的，他們也承認它帶來的安慰，這反映了元現代主義者平衡相互衝突的信仰和情感的能力。
