We think of infancy before childhood and middle age before old age, with each unique phase b

These challenges can be overcome by acquainting ourselves with them, such as the childs need to learn, the adults need to find the right career and build a family, and the seniors need for support and good health care.我们大多数人都知道,根据不同的年龄和生活阶段,人生可与此平行划分为童年、青春
3、期、成年和老年这四个阶段。我们把这些阶段想象为婴儿期在童年之前,中年在老年之前,每个阶段都会面临一系列特有的挑战,如孩子对学习的需要,成人对找到合适的职业生涯和建立一个家庭的需要,以及年长者对得到帮助和良好医疗保健的需要。通过对它们的充分了解,我们就可以战胜这些挑战。Interestingly, ideas about the stages of life are changing.有趣的是,关于人生阶段的观念正在发生变化。In previous times, people didnt have a solid idea of childhood as being separate from

So, we need to recognize this new stage, the odyssey years, which many now consider to be an unavoidable stage in reaching adulthood.今天,我们同样需要认识一个新的人生阶段:从高中毕业到上大学,然后到成家立业,即所谓的奥德赛岁月。由于年轻人正按照一种不同的模式生活,最近的趋势出现了根本性的变化。他们从学校休学

During the odyssey years, a high proportion of young people are delaying marriage, child bearing, and even employment.出生于上个世纪 60 年代或 70 年代之前的人们往往会
10、将成年的概念基于是否取得了某些成就:从父母家搬走,经济上独立,找到合适的配偶并组织家庭。但是,对稳定的强调并没能保持不变。今天,年轻人不太可能仿效他们的父母。在奥德赛岁月中,相当比例的年轻人都推迟结婚、生子,甚至推迟就业。The odyssey years can saddle young people with enormous pressure to move forward quickly.
