根据Word Spy网站的讲解,rug-rat race的意思是“Intense pressure put on children to achieve early educational success,particularly as a prerequisite for eventually getting into an elite university.”(为实现早期教育成功而给儿童施加的沉重压力,尤其是将其作为最终进入顶尖大学学习的先决条件.)这个表达方式由两个短语组合而成,分别为rug rat(小孩,学龄前儿童)和rat race(激烈的竞争).也可以写作rug rat race和rugrat race.
