　　Generation Gap
　　Though many aspects of our social life have been improved, the generation gap between the youths and the olders remain and even grows wider.
　　In my opinion, because of the influence of individualism from western civilization, the youths do not blindly follow what the elders say, that causes the gap. The young arecreative and revolutionary, always go along with the trend and like changing. While the old, accustomed to everything of the past, are hostile to change. Also with more and more different beliefs and philosophical ideas, it is natural the young hold different opinions from the old.
　　I think in order to narrow the gap, both parts should try to understand and respect each other, instead of trying to change others as they wish. Diversity doesn't mean conflict so long as they hold the right attitude towards the problems.

　　【譯文賞析】
　　代溝
　　雖然我們社會生活的諸多方面，已經得到了改善，但年輕人與老年人之間的代溝仍然存在，甚至在擴大。
　　依我來看，因為受西方個人主義的影響，年輕人不再盲目跟隨老人們的說法，而這導致了差距。年輕人富有創造性和革新的力量，始終順應潮流，喜歡變化。而老人們則習慣了過去的一切，不喜歡改變。同時也有越來越多的不同信仰和哲學思想，這自然造成了年輕人與老年人持有不同意見。
　　我認為，想要縮小差距，雙方應盡量相互理解和尊重，而不是以他們自己的意愿來試圖改變別人。只要他們持有應對問題的正確態度，多元化并不意味著沖突。
