人们常说,“三岁一代沟,五岁一鸿沟”。“代沟”,指年轻一代与老一代由于经验、观点、习惯和行为等的不同而存在心理距离或心理隔阂(a situation in which older and younger people do not understand each other because of their different experiences, opinions, habits, and behavior)。

实际上,“代沟”一词是由英文“the generation gap”直译而来,由于译法贴切而新颖,加上易于记忆,所以马上成了汉语常用语。

 

例句:


作为一个年轻的政治家,她设法弥合了新老两代政治家之间的代沟。
She's a young politician who manages to bridge the generation gap.
