n.雅皮士属于中上阶层的年轻专业人士
Noun:
a young upwardly mobile professional individual; a well-paid middle-class professional who works in a city and has a luxurious life style该词源于美国，始见于20世纪80年代初，系由young urban professional年轻的城市专业人士的首字母缩合与hippie嬉皮士的尾部-pie拼缀而成。与yuppie几乎同时出现的还有另外两个混成词：yapyoung aspiring professional，年轻有抱负的职业人士和yumpieyoung upwardly mobile professional，年轻的提升快的专业人士。
这三个词均指年轻、富有、能干且有上进心的一类人。他们一般都受过高等教育，具有较高的知识水平和技能，工作勤奋，追求物质享受。尔后，yuppie一词逐渐取代了另外两个，并在英语词汇中占了一席之地；特别是在1984年Marissa Piesman与Marilee Hartley合著的The Yuppie Handbook雅皮士手册一书于纽约出版后，yuppie一词随之在英语国家为人们广泛使用。
在汉语中一般是仿hippies）的译名“嬉皮士”将yuppie(s）译作“雅皮士”，也有音译为“雅皮”或“雅痞”的。受hippie和yuppie的影响，此后英语又出现了一连串以-pie或-ie结尾的新词，诸如buppieblack urban professional或black yuppie，黑人雅皮士，guppie (gay yuppie，同性恋雅皮士），JuppieJapanese yuppie，日本雅皮士，woopiewell-off older person，富皮士，富有的老年人，rumpierural upwardly mobile professional，农村提升快的专业人士，yuffieyoung urban failure，雅飞士，失败的城市青年等，不过这些新词大多昙花一现。到了20世纪90年代，yuppie一词已不多用，而且常含贬义。yuppify(使(市区等
