一个自以为是的大一新生最近去看足球比赛。他一直噪喋不休地向坐在旁边的一位老人解释为什么老一辈人不可能理解新一代人。 "你们是在一个不同的世界长大的，实际上简直是个原始世界。”他大声说,声音大得周围的很多人都能听见。“今天的年轻人是在电视的陪伴下长大的。我们有喷气式飞机、宇宙航行，人类登上了月球，我们的宇宙飞船都造访过火星。我们还有原子能，用电和氢作能量的汽车，有光速运行的计算机，还有……”他停了下来喝一口啤酒。 那位老人趁着他唠唠叨叨的间隙，说：“你说的对，年轻人。我们年轻的时候这些都没有，所以我们就发明创造了这些东西。现在，你这个骄傲自大的小家伙，你打算为下一代人做些什么呢?” New Generation A very self-important college freshman attending a recent football game, took it upon himself to explain to a senior citizen sitting next to him why it was impossible for the older generation to understand his generation. “You grew up in a different world, actually an almost primitive one，，，the student said, loud enough for many of those nearby to hear. “The young people of today grew up with television, jet planes, space travel, man walking on the moon； our spaceships have visited Mars.
