从美国“迷惘的一代”看当今中国年轻人的生活 Analysis of Today’s Chinese Youth Through “The Lost Generation” in America Abstract Nowadays, the Chinese youth are considered as “The Lost Generation”, and they are being criticized by the elders all day, because they do a lot of perverse things just like “The Lost Generation” in America which the elders cannot understand. Many of today’s Chinese youth do things to oppose the tradition, they are becoming more and more indifferent and apathetic and their desire of becoming famous is stronger than ever before. It seems that they are very happy and they do not care about anything, but actually, they are dissatisfied with their life and the society and suffering a lot in their hearts. But few people know about this and understand them. Nowadays, getting a house and a satisfactory job are so difficult; in the acquisitive society, money becomes more important than ever before and money worship is becoming more and more popular; there are unfair phenomena here and there in the society, which make people hopeless; the lack of honesty makes people difficult to trust each other, which results in the feeling of insecurity of people; and people are becoming indifferent and apathetic. The social environment influences people’s life deeply, so the Chinese youth need a good social environment. But, people themselves are the most important factor.

Key Words Comparison; life; dissatisfaction; pressure; society 摘　要 当今中国年轻一代被不少人称作“迷惘的一代”，他们也不断地受到老一辈人的批评， 因为他们就像美国一战后的“迷惘的一代”一样，行为另类，而他们的行为是老一辈人所不能理解的。现在很多中国年轻人做出很多反传统的事情；变得越来越冷漠和麻木；成名的愿望空前强烈。表面上他们逍遥快活，好像对什么事情都漠不关心，但实际上他们对自己的生活和社会都很不满意，内心也很痛苦。但是没有多少人知道这一切，也没有多少人能够理解他们。现在，买一套房子和找到一份满意的工作非常困难；在这个物欲横流的社会里，金钱似乎变得无比重要，拜金主义也变得非常流行；社会上到处都存在着不公平现象，这让人们对社会非常失望；诚信的缺乏也使人们很难相信彼此，人们丧失了安全感；变得越来越冷漠和麻
