A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
一代
Generation
I tend to write about more than one generation because as a child I had contact with more than one generation; it was normal to be around older people.
我倾向于写不止一代人的故事，因为小时候我接触过不止一代人;和老年人在一起很正常。
I remember being awed by it - the uniqueness and nicety of style - and I suspect I was a bit jealous because we were more or less of the same generation.
我记得我被它所震撼——它的独特和精致的风格——我怀疑我有点嫉妒，因为我们差不多是同一代人。
Genius is the very eye of intellect and the wing of thought; it is always in advance of its time, and is the pioneer for the generation which it precedes.
天才是智慧之眼，是思想之翼;它总是走在时代的前面，是它所先于的那一代人的先驱。
Each generation's job is to question what parents accept on faith, to explore possibilities, and adapt the last generation's system of values for a new age.
每一代人的工作是质疑父母的信仰，探索可能性，并适应上一代人的价值观体系，以适应新时代。
Correcting it, I don't know; just shedding the light of day on it is a first major step, being one of the earliest generations not to just accept the words.
纠正它，我不知道;作为最早一批不接受这些话的人之一，光是让它大白于天下就是迈出了重要的第一步。
Raising children is an incredibly hard and risky business in which no cumulative wisdom is gained: each generation repeats the mistakes the previous one made.
抚养孩子是一项极其艰难和危险的工作，没有积累的智慧:每一代人都在重复上一代人所犯的错误。
The modern minds in each generation are the critics who preserve us from a petrifying world, who will not leave us to walk undisturbed in the ways of our fathers.
每一代的现代人都是批评家，他们把我们从一个僵化的世界中拯救出来，他们不会让我们不受干扰地走我们祖先的道路。
I forever felt that I've fallen right between the crack of way too young for the first generation of classic rock 'n' roll and too old to be brand-new. It's hard.
我永远觉得自己正处在第一代经典摇滚乐的夹缝中，太年轻了，太老了，不能再是全新的了。是很困难的。
My idea is always to reach my generation. The wise writer writes for the youth of his own generation, the critics of the next, and the schoolmasters of ever afterward.
我的想法总是传达给我们这一代人。明智的作家为他那一代的青年、下一代的批评家和后世的老师们写作。
The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it.
当代的艺术和文学并没有给那一代人带来足够的改变，让他们可以接受或拒绝它。
A whole new generation is looking at the videos, and going to the video shop and buying the re-release of the complete trilogy, which you can buy at a reasonable price.
全新的一代正在观看这些视频，他们会去音像店购买完整三部曲的再版，你可以以合理的价格买到。
When the generation after me started getting on the cut, a lot of them would call me over to hang out or go jam and scratch and they were always separate from each other.
当我之后的那一代人开始剪头发的时候，他们中的很多人会打电话给我，叫我出去玩，或者去果酱和挠痒痒，他们总是彼此分开。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
You will attract the younger generation and they might well prove tougher than the older generation. What we are trying to do is to look at the future and see what we can do to bring some stability back to people's lives.
你会吸引年轻一代，他们很可能会比老一辈更强硬。我们正在努力做的是展望未来，看看我们能做些什么来给人们的生活带来一些稳定。
The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.
下一代太空望远镜将比目前的哈勃太空望远镜离地球远得多，它还将探测光谱中的红外部分。
Every writer is a writer of the generation before.
每个作家都是上一代人的作家。
Great men, unknown to their generation, have their fame among the great who have preceded them, and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars.
不为他们那一代人所知的伟人，他们的名声是在他们之前的伟人中间的，所有真正的世俗的名声都会因他们超越星辰的崇高评价而消减。
Being spokesman for a generation is the worst job I ever had.
作为一代人的代言人是我做过的最糟糕的工作。
This generation should entertain this generation. It's only fair. When I was a kid, I mowed the lawn. Now, somebody else's kid can mow the lawn.
这一代人应该娱乐这一代人。只有公平的。当我还是个孩子的时候，我修剪草坪。现在，别人的孩子可以割草坪了。
