Young Americans Pessimistic about American Dream

美国年轻人对美国梦持悲观态度

It`s great to have you watching CNN STUDENT NEWS. This is our second to last show of the school year. I`m Carl Azuz. And I`m glad to bring it to you.

欢迎您收看CNN学生新闻。这是我们这一学年的倒数第二期节目。我是卡尔·阿祖兹,很高兴能为您报道。

AZUZ:

It`s been five years since the great recession officially ended. This was the economic downturn that hit between 2007 and 2009, but it`s still having effects on people.

阿祖兹:2007年至2009年,美国遭遇经济危机,进入经济衰退期。虽然至今为止已经过去五年了,但是仍然影响着美国人民。

CNN Money says the recovery of U.S. jobs has been the slowest ever. More Americans are using food stamps than ever. Wages are rising, but barely. Is this all taking a toll on the American dream?

CNN财经频道报道说,美国就业情况的恢复是有史以来最慢的。越来越多的美国人靠食品救济券为生,工资虽然在涨,但是涨的很少。这种情况会严重影响美国梦的实现吗?

ALISON KOSIK, CNN CORRESPONDENT:

The American dream is this national ideal, the goal of prosperity and success.

艾莉森·科希克(CNN通讯记者):实现美国梦是美国整个国家的理想,美国梦的目标就是实现国家的繁荣昌盛。

But in CNN Money`s American dream poll, 59 percent of people say regardless of how you define it, it`s not achievable.

但是在CNN财经频道开展的美国梦民意调查中显示,59%的民众认为不管你去怎样定义美国梦,这个梦都实现不了。

Young adults are the most pessimistic, they`ve had a hard time finding good jobs as the country recovers from the recession, and there are already concerns about the next generation, too.

其中年轻人最悲观,因为正好处于美国从经济危机中复苏的这段时期,所以他们很难找到好的工作,而且这也会对一代年轻人造成影响。

63 percent of Americans say that most children in the U.S. will not be better off than their parents.

63%的美国民众说,美国的大多数孩子将不会比他们的父母更富裕。

The problem is that while most people are managing to tread water, that`s not translating into solid financial security. But not everybody is onboard with these findings.

问题是虽然大多数人选择不去冒风险而是原地踏步,停滞不前,但是这并不能换来金融经济的安全。然而并不是每个人都懂这个道理。

The Brooking Center says the American dream isn`t dead and that this negative perceptions are necessarily supported by facts since two major studies early this year show that the ability to climb the economic ladder hasn`t changed significantly over time. I`m Alison Kosik in New York.

布鲁金斯中心称,美国梦并没有破灭,这种说法是有事实依据的。因为今年早期的两个主要研表明,随着时间的改变,美国发展自身经济的能力并没有明显的改变。

艾莉森·科希克在纽约报道。

Time for the "Shoutout." Where would you find the line "Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink?" You know what to do. Is it "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," "Moby Dick", "The Old Man and the Sea," or Seabiscuit? You`ve got three seconds, go!

又到了大声喊出答案环节。在哪里你可以找到这句话?“水,到处都是水,但没有一滴是能喝的?”你知道该怎么做的。是出现在《老海员之歌》里呢,《白鲸》里呢,《老人与海》

里呢,还是《奔腾年代》里呢?你有三秒钟来回答问题,1,2,3……

Coleridge`s "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," has this line about being surrounded by seawater, none of it drinkable. That`s your answer and that`s your shoutout.

是柯勒律治的《老海员之歌》里的话,是关于老海员被在大海中被海水环绕,却没有可饮用的水的情景描述。这就是今天的答案,这就是本次的大声喊出答案环节。
