20年代生活的各个方面中，被人们评论的最多，渲染的最厉害的，莫过于所谓的青年一代的叛逆行为了
32.The answers to such inquires 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 something considerably less sensational than the degeneration of our jazz mad youth
对这类问题的回答肯定“是”和“不是”——回答“是”，是因为青年一代的问题总是伴随着人的成长过程；回答“不是”，是因为在当时的社会看来是那么放荡不羁、不负责任和不道德的行为，用现在的眼光来看，远没有如今迷恋爵士乐的青年的堕落行为那样骇人听闻

追求时尚，为求短暂的快乐和片刻的新奇而大肆挥霍，纵情狂欢，寻求感官刺激——性行为、吸毒、酗酒、各种反常行为——这些都是他们逃避责任的表现，社会的普遍繁荣以及战后人们对政治、经济限制和国际义务的厌烦是这种逃避成为可能

37.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”正是在他们那反抗性的，总体来说短暂的旅居欧洲期间，20年代我国文坛领军人物开始认识到自己——用格特鲁德·斯坦的话说——就是“迷茫的一代”
38.In no sense a movement in itself, the “lost generation” attitude nevertheless acted as a common denominator of the writing of the times
“迷茫的一代”本身并不是一场运动，但“迷茫的一代”的态度却是那个时代文学作品的共同特征

20年代的知识分子被F·斯科特·菲茨杰拉德称为“悲哀的一代”，他们诅咒过自己的命运，但并没有消亡；他们曾逃离过，但又主动回归过；他们痛斥思想狭隘的市侩，但却热爱自己的国家。

正因如此，他们创作出了这个国家文学史上最富有生气、最令人耳目一新、最激动人心的文学作品

junior prophetess of the wilds, who might impart to me, if I took the right approach, some of the secrets which she undoubtedly knew

我父亲修筑的那个小凸形码头不见了，取而代之
的是政府修建的一个大而坚固的码头。

这是因为跑马山现在已经是一个国家公园，钻石湖也已更名为瓦帕卡塔湖，因为政府认为一个印第安名称对游客会有更大的吸引力
48.I listened for some time, to make sure, but never once did I hear that long-drawn call, half mocking and half plaintive, spearing through the stillness across the lake
我倾听了许久，以验证我的这种想法，但终究没有再听到那划过静寂的湖、拖着长长的尾音、凄厉而带有冷嘲意味的叫声
49.It seemed to me now that in some unconscious and totally unrecognized way, Piquette might have been the only one, after all, who had heard the crying of the loons 现在我倒觉得，通过一种无意识的，别人完全不理解的方式；皮格特胡须终究是唯一一个真正听懂了潜鸟叫声的人。
