像generation gap这样的gap组合词,在英语里还有好几个,“代沟”出现得稍迟一点,但其流行程度却后来居上。 gap组合词的始祖恐怕是missile gap了。此一词组创于一九六○年美国总统大选期间,用来表示美、苏两国火箭武器力量的均势已被打破,苏联已开始占优。故此,missile gap可译为“导弹力量差距”。gap在这里不译为“沟”,否则会使词组的含意不明确。 missile gap流行开去之后,几个模仿此结构的新词组以陆续出现。它们包括news gap,production gap,culture gap,development gap和communication gap。 news gap指国家与国家、国家与地区与地区之间由于某种关系而致彼此的消息不能正常传送。这就是一般所谓“新闻差距”。 production gap指两个国家、地区或集团企业的某一类生产中存在的差距也可以指某类产品的各部件生产不配合,一些快时一些慢,某种多时某种少。故此production gap通常译作“生产差距”。 culture gap上社会上各阶层的人士因所受教育不同,知识水平自然存在着一道鸿沟。因此,这两个(或更多)阶层的人士所接触的事物,所喜爱的东西必然也各不相同,思想和认识都会有很大差异。这一种情况,就是所谓culture gap,亦即“文化沟”。此外,不同国家的人民或不同的民族的文化 之间的差异,也称为“文化沟”。 不同的国家,或者同一国家的不同地区,在各方面的发展上总是有快有慢的。目前,世界上最强大的工业国如美国、西德和日本等国家,和亚、非、拉三洲的许多发展中国家,在科技、工业、农业等方面的发展水平存在着极大的差距。这个差距若以年份计算,可能达到数十年以至达到数十年以至上百年以上。把这差距缩短,是发展中国家的当务之急。在英文里,这种“发展差距”或“发展沟”称为development gap。 gap 的家族中另一个新成员。是和generation gap(“代沟”)同期出现的credibility gap。这是流行于美国政坛一个术语,中文可译为“信誉沟”。所谓“信誉沟”是指政府领袖在有关公共事务上的声明和主张。与他的实际行动上的差距。若言行一致的话,credibility gap 便不会存在。若这个领袖只是开空头支票,而永远不兑现的话,那么这种“信誉沟”越大,领袖 与政府的信誉就越低。 gap的组合词出现到今只不过短短的十多年,但是由于含意明确,易记易懂,故此很受欢迎,其家族也逐渐壮大。不单如此,这些新的组合词还在广泛的应用中获得新的意义。以下是generation gap的一个引申用法:Thus the generation gap between computers inside and outside eastern Europe seems likely to be perpetuated.(摘自《美国科学》)这里面的generation gap当然不再是“代沟”,而是指电脑的“技术差距”。
别做慈善家
代沟(Generation gap)指两代人之间在思想、价值观念、行为方式、生活态度以及兴趣、爱好等方面的差异、对立和冲突。
代沟广义上是指年轻一代与老一代在思想方法、价值观念、生活态度、兴趣爱好方面存在的心理距离或心理隔阂。由20世纪60年代末美国人类学家M.米德在所著《代沟》中提出。
狭义指父母子女之间的心理差距或心理隔阂。代沟主要存在于一般成人与年轻人两代人之间,父母与子女之间的差异并不是不可避免的。只要父母认识到文化变化对孩子的影响,并以此调整自己对孩子的态度,父母与子女之间就不会出现冲突。
扩展资料:
从一定意义上讲,代沟是社会进步的产物,也是晚辈超越长辈的标志之一。尽管年轻一代的心理发展尚不成熟,但他们代表着时代进步的趋势。因此,青少年与父母辈的代沟现象并不可怕,既不要夸大,也不要贬低,只要正视它,就能加以弥合。下面,我们以家庭中的代沟问题为例,看看可以如何对待。
角色互换,这是弥合代沟的有效方式之一。在家庭生活中,父母与子女所承担的角色与义务有很大差别,对同一问题,各自的思维方式、行为定向以及考虑问题的出发点等也大不相同,故而,互相之间往往难以理解。
