They are usually articulate; they have many acquaintances, inside or outside their professions, ready to listen to them; and not a few of them have a chance to talk on TV and radio.
他們一般都是能言善辯的;在本職業領域內外都有許多相識，而且都對他們言聽計從;他們當中還有不少人有機會在電視或廣播中發表演講。
If the battle can be won, it will probably be these men and women who will swing it.
假如這場戰斗能勝利，很可能就是要靠這些男男女女去起推動作用。
But what about the young?
那么，年輕一代又如何呢?
Here we might remember that as soon as we consider even the fairly immediate future then our young will not be the young any more; some other young will have arrived.
說到這兒，我們不能忘記，只要我們考慮到未來，哪怕是不遠的未來，我們所說的年輕一代到那時也再不是年輕一代了，那時會出現又一個年輕一代。
It is one difficulty the American counter-culture enthusiasts have to face-that while they are still praising the rebellious young, half those lads and girls may have already lost their youth and may be as busy conforming to Madison Avenue as they conformed earlier to Hippy California or the road to Katmandu.
這是美國反主流文化運動的熱心支持者們必須面對的一個難題--當他們還正在頌揚那些敢于反潮流的年輕人的時候，那些被頌揚的年輕男女中恐怕有一半已喪失青春，而且可能正在忙著適應麥迪遜大街的生活，正如他們過去忙著適應加利福尼亞嬉皮士生活或加德滿都之路的神秘生活一樣。
So far as the English young are concerned, I am dubious about the noisy types, whether they are shouting in the streets or joining the vast herds at pop festivals.
談到英國的年輕人，我對那愛鬧的類型，無論是在街頭狂呼亂叫，還是在流行音樂會上跟著起哄湊熱鬧的，都有些懷疑。
Too many of them lack the individuality to stand up to Admass, which can provide them with another and even larger herd to join.
他們之中有太多的人缺乏抵擋商業廣告推銷的個性，因為商業廣告推銷使他們可以加入更多更大的歡鬧的群伙。
I have far more faith in the quieter young, who never swaggered around in the youth racket, who may have come under the influence of one or two of those professional men and women, who have probably given some thought to what life may be like at forty or forty-five.
我對那些比較文靜的年輕人的信心要大得多，這類年輕人從不吵吵嚷嚷，高談闊論;他們可能受到一兩位職業男女的影響：他們也許曾思索過四十或四十五歲時的生活會是什么樣子。
They, too, might help to swing the battle.
他們也有可能起到扭轉戰局的作用。
