现在号角再次向我们吹响----不是号召我们扛起武器，虽然我们需要武器；不是号召我们去参加战斗，虽然我们严阵以待；而是号召我们为迎接黎明而肩负起漫长斗争的责任，年复一年，‖从希望中得到欢乐，在苦难中保持坚韧―，去反对人类共同的敌人：专制、贫困、疾病和战争本身

1.No aspect of life in the twenties has been more commented upon and sensationally romanticized than the so-called Revolt of the Younger Generation。
二十年代社会生活的各个方面中，被人们评论得最多、渲染得最厉害的，莫过于青年一代的叛逆之行了。
2.The answers to such inquiries must of necessity be ―yes‖and ―no‖. ―Yes‖ because the business of growing up is always accompanied by a Younger Generation Problem. ―no‖ because what seemed so wild, irresponsible, and immoral in social behavior at the time can now be seen in perspective as being somethingconsiderably less sensational than the degeneration of our jazz mad youth.
对这类问题的回答必然只能是既―对又不对,说对,是因为人的成长过程中一贯就存在着所谓青年一代的问题；说不对,是因为在当时的社会看来似乎是那么狂野，那么不负责任，那么不讲道德的行为，若是用今天的正确眼光去看的话，却远远没有今天的一些迷恋爵士乐的狂荡青年的堕落行为那么耸人听闻。

The faddishness, the world spending of money on transitory pleasures and momentary novelties, the hectic air of gaiety, the experimentation in sensation – sex, drugs, alcohol, perversions – were all part of the pattern of escape. An escape made possible by a general prosperity and a postwar fatigue with politics, economic restrictions, and international responsibilities.
追求时尚，为了短暂的快乐和一时的新奇而大肆挥霍，纵情地狂欢，寻求各种各样的感官刺激—性行为，吸毒，酗酒以及各种各样的堕落行为—这些都是他们逃避责任的表现形式，是一种由社会的普遍繁荣及战后人们对于政治、经济限制和国际义务所产生的厌烦情绪所造成的逃避方式。 5. Meanwhile, the true intellectuals were far from flattered. 其实，真正的知识分子对此现象远 远谈不上满意。
6. Flaming diatribes poured from their pens denouncing the materialism and what they considered to be the cultural boobery of our society.
于是，他们的笔尖下便喷射出愤怒的火花，猛烈抨击着美国社会中的唯物质主义以及他们所称的文化市侩习气。
7. It was in their defiant, but generally short-lived, European expatriation that our leading writers of the Twenties learned to think of themselves, in the words of Gertrude Stein, as the ―lost generation‖.
正是在他们那抗争性的，而总的说来又是短暂的侨居欧洲期间，二十年代我国的那些主要作家开始认识到自己 - 用格特鲁德．斯坦的话说就是所谓―迷惘的一代。
8. In no sense a movement in itself, the ―lost generation‖ attitude nevertheless acted as a common denominator of the writing of the times.
―迷惘的一代‖本身虽不是一场什么文学运动，但那些迷惘的一代的作家的态度却是那个时代文学作品的共同特征。
9. It was shocked, uprooted for a time, bitter, critical, rebellious, iconoclastic, experimental, often absurd, more often misdirected – but never ―lost‖. 在一段时间里，他们曾有过惊愕、孤独无依的感觉，因而变得痛苦、尖刻，以致于反社会、反权威、好标新立异，其行为往往有些荒唐，更常常近于胡闹——但却从来没迷惘过。
10. The intellectuals of the Twenties, the ―sad young men‖ as F. Scott Fitzgerald called them, cursed their luck but didn’t die; escaped but
voluntarily returned; flayed the Babbitts but loved their country, and in so doing gave the nation the liveliest, freshest, most stimulating writing in its literary experience.
