恐襲陰影下的“9·11一代”

Generation 9/11 refers to the generation of people who were enrolled in high school or university on September 11, 2001.

“9·11一代”是指在2001年9月11日進(jìn)入高中或大學(xué)的那一代人。

除了generation 9/11，9/11 generation也可以指代這一代人。

For Example：

After the deadliest attack on American soil in the history of the republic, the generation that previously seemed directionless and without a fitting title now had one — 9/11 Generation. "After Sept. 11, there was a definite change," said Luke Punzenberger, president of Marquette University Student Government. "It's something I can't put my finger on. You walk down campus and it just feels different."

在共和國(guó)歷史上最致命的襲擊發(fā)生在美國(guó)這片土地上后，此前被視為沒(méi)有方向，也沒(méi)有合適稱(chēng)謂的一代人如今有了稱(chēng)號(hào)——“9·11一代”。馬凱特大學(xué)學(xué)生會(huì)長(zhǎng)盧克·潘振博格稱(chēng)：“9·11事件發(fā)生后，發(fā)生了明顯的變化。那是些說(shuō)不清道不明的東西，走在大學(xué)校園里，就是能感覺(jué)到不一樣了。”
