60年代或70年代之前的人們往往會(huì)將成年的概念基于是否取得了某些成就：從父母家搬走，經(jīng)濟(jì)上獨(dú)立，找到合適的配偶并組織家庭。 但是，對(duì)穩(wěn)定的強(qiáng)調(diào)沒能保持不變。今天，年輕人不太可能仿效他們的父母。 在奧德賽歲月中，相當(dāng)比例的輕人都推遲結(jié)婚、生子，甚至推遲就業(yè)。Peoplewhowerebornpriortothe60sor70sinthelastcenturytendedtoframetheir concept of adulthood based upon achieving certain accomplishments:moving away from

作為他們父母唯一的承人和所有期望、希望和夢(mèng)想的聚焦，有些年輕人以叛逆和桀驁不馴的行為和態(tài)度對(duì)待父母。他們往往憎恨他們所感到的壓力，并同他們的父母保持距離，甚至離家出走。 他們的困惑源于很難讓家長(zhǎng)了解他們，也源于這段需要進(jìn)行自我探索的、不確定的人生之旅。 了逃避困惑和不安，許多年輕人訴諸電腦游戲， iPod，iPhone 或iPad，以幫助分散他們的痛苦和壓力。As the sole heir and focus of their parentshopes and somereactwithrebelliousandpridefulattitudesandbehaviortowardtheirparents.(Para.6)Meaning: Beingtheyrdfocusftheir

父母甚至不能清楚地覺察到他們孩子未來生活的方向，只能看著他們，看著要做的事被拖延著。Likewise,theirparentsarefeelingmoreanxious.(Para.7)Meaning: Theirparentsbecomemorerestlessaswell.Meaningbeyondwords:

預(yù)言；預(yù)料之意。predict 表示預(yù)言；預(yù)料之意時(shí)，往往是根據(jù)內(nèi)心感受、經(jīng)驗(yàn)、證據(jù)或跡象； anticipate表示預(yù)期；預(yù)料之意時(shí)，往往根據(jù)以往的經(jīng)驗(yàn)、自己的向往、設(shè)想來推測(cè)。例如Infact,noonecanpredictwhetherhisideawillendupwithagreatsuccessforourbusiness. 事實(shí)上，沒人能預(yù)測(cè)他的想法是否最終會(huì)使我們的業(yè)務(wù)取得成功。Ianticipatealotofinterestinmynewspaperadvertisement. 我預(yù)料我在報(bào)紙上登的廣告會(huì)引起人們很大的興趣。Ipredictthisyear
