Generation Gap

Though many aspects of our social life have been improved, the generation gap between the youths and the olders remain and even grows wider.

In my opinion, because of the influence of individualism from western civilization, the youths do not blindly follow what the elders say, that causes the gap. The young arecreative and revolutionary, always go along with the trend and like changing. While the old, accustomed to everything of the past, are hostile to change. Also with more and more different beliefs and philosophical ideas, it is natural the young hold different opinions from the old.

I think in order to narrow the gap, both parts should try to understand and respect each other, instead of trying to change others as they wish. Diversity doesn't mean conflict so long as they hold the right attitude towards the problems.

【译文赏析】

代沟

虽然我们社会生活的诸多方面，已经得到了改善，但年轻人与老年人之间的代沟仍然存在，甚至在扩大。

依我来看，因为受西方个人主义的影响，年轻人不再盲目跟随老人们的说法，而这导致了差距。年轻人富有创造性和革新的力量，始终顺应潮流，喜欢变化。而老人们则习惯了过去的一切，不喜欢改变。同时也有越来越多的不同信仰和哲学思想，这自然造成了年轻人与老年人持有不同意见。

我认为，想要缩小差距，双方应尽量相互理解和尊重，而不是以他们自己的意愿来试图改变别人。只要他们持有应对问题的正确态度，多元化并不意味着冲突。
