Generation Gap 关于代沟

小编: ckm

A few years ago it was fashionable to speak of a generation gap. Parents complained that children didn't show them proper respect and obedience while children complained that their parents didn't understand them at all.

几年前,代沟是一个非常流行的词。父母抱怨孩子对他们没有应有的尊重和服从;而孩子们却抱怨父母根本不理解他们。

In families as well as in society the young and the older may not agree with each other on this and that from time to time. Young people would llke to make as much money as they could and spend as much money as they could earn while older folks are easily satisfied with what they earn and save as much as possible. Young people llke the exciting and deafening pop music while older folks prefer melodious folk-songs or classic music. A boy and a glrl today may fall in love with each other as quick as lightning while their parents or grand parents might trudge over a long distance before they kissed each other and became lovers when they were young.

在家庭和社会中,年轻人和老年人都经常不能认可对方。年轻人喜欢尽他们所能挣钱,花掉他们可以赚的到的钱,而老年人更满足于尽可能节省他们赚到的钱。年轻人喜欢的兴奋和震耳欲聋的流行音乐,老年人喜欢悠扬的民歌和古典音乐。一个男孩和一个女孩可能就在今天闪电一般地爱上对方,而他们的父母或者祖父母年轻时可能经过漫长的路才亲吻对方成为情侣。

However we should not be amazed at the generation gapfor it is quite natural in the development of society. The world is a changing world in which everything keeps changing generations of human beings included. And changes lead to progress.

然而,我们不应对于代沟感到惊讶,因为它在社会发展中是很自然的。世界是一个变化的世界,在这一切都在不断变化,当然包括人。变化带来发展。
