A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
一代
Generation
The difference between me and other people in my generation is instead of saying the Internet's killing the record business, I say, 'Who cares about the record business, the Internet is enhancing music.'
我和我们这代人的不同之处在于，我不是说互联网正在扼杀唱片业务，而是说，‘谁在乎唱片业务呢，互联网正在促进音乐的发展。’
A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.
一个新的科学真理不是通过说服它的对手并让他们看到光明而取得胜利，而是因为它的对手最终会消亡，而熟悉它的新一代会成长起来。
In fiction, too, after the death of Cooper the main tendency for nearly a generation was away from the conquest of new borders to the closer cultivation, east of the Mississippi, of ground already marked.
在小说中，库珀死后，近一代人的主要倾向也从征服新疆界，转向密西西比以东更接近已开垦的土地。
We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.
我们可以把每一代人看作是一个独特的民族，他们有权利，按照大多数人的意愿，约束自己，但没有人比另一个国家的居民更能约束后代。
Well I'm a third-generation musician. My Grandfather's a musician and my father and mother were both musicians and so I'm a musician. It was just natural that I should be a musician 'cause I was born into the family.
我是第三代音乐家。我爷爷是个音乐家，我父母都是音乐家，所以我是个音乐家。我天生就是个音乐家，这很自然。
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。
Our highly qualified teachers not only work hard, but they care about each and every student that enters their classroom. I thank you, Montana teachers, for your sense of duty and compassion to our precious future generation.
我们高素质的教师不仅工作努力，而且他们关心每一个进入他们教室的学生。我感谢蒙大拿的老师们，感谢你们对我们宝贵的未来一代的责任感和同情心。
The forces that are in play on climate change essentially revolve around the generation of power, the transportation of goods and services and people, and the sorts of materials that we use to fuel the whole of our civilisation.

We need to teach the next generation of children from day one that they are responsible for their lives. Mankind's greatest gift, also its greatest curse, is that we have free choice. We can make our choices built from love or from fear.

You're talking about a younger generation, Generation Y, whose interpersonal communication skills are different from Generation X. The younger generation is more comfortable saying something through a digital mechanism than even face to face.
你说的是年轻一代，Y一代，他们的人际沟通技巧与x一代不同。
The very concept of history implies the scholar and the reader. Without a generation of civilized people to study history, to preserve its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its meaning.
历史的概念本身就意味着学者和读者。如果没有一代文明人来研究历史，保存历史记录，吸取历史教训，并把它们与自身的问题联系起来，历史也将失去其意义。
Whether the prayer of Seneca was granted we do not know; but, as we do not again hear of Marcus, it is probable that he died before his father, and that the line of Seneca, like that of so many great men, became extinct in the second generation.
我们不知道塞内加的祷告是否得到了应允;但是，由于我们没有再听到马可的消息，他很可能比他的父亲先死，塞内加的家族，和许多伟人的家族一样，在第二代就绝迹了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

It took us a long time to find out that we had been lied to by our parents' generation. The moralities that were followed during our parents' generation were basically arbitrary. This caused a rift between the two generations, which was brought on by the beatniks.
我们花了很长时间才发现我们被父母那一代欺骗了。我们父母那代人遵循的道德规范基本上是武断的。这导致了两代人之间的裂痕，这是由垮掉的一代带来的。
In a few generations more, there will probably be no room at all allowed for animals on the earth: no need of them, no toleration of them.
再过几代人，地球上可能就没有动物生存的空间了:不再需要它们，也不再容忍它们。
