Content Introduction

中文

垮掉的一代(Beat Generation)是20世纪50年代兴起于美国的一种文学和文化运动。它代表着对传统社会价值观和生活方式的反抗,追求个人自由和精神解放。二战后的美国,物质繁荣的背后,是精神的空虚和道德的沦丧。垮掉的一代的作家们,大多来自美国中产阶级,他们对现实的虚伪、压抑和物欲横流感到不满,渴望突破束缚,寻找新的生活方式和精神寄托。

他们反对当时美国社会盛行的保守主义和物质主义,推崇东方神秘主义和自由主义,在创作中大量使用非传统的语言和写作风格,表达对自由、个性和精神探索的渴望。垮掉的一代的代表人物有杰克·凯鲁亚克(Jack Kerouac)、艾伦·金斯堡(Allen Ginsberg)和威廉·S·伯勒斯(William S. Burroughs)。他们的作品如《在路上》(On the Road)、《嚎叫》(Howl)等,深刻地影响了后来的嬉皮士运动和反文化运动,至今仍具有重要的文化意义。

English

The Beat Generation, a literary and cultural movement that emerged in the United States in the 1950s, represented a rebellion against traditional social values and lifestyles, emphasizing individual freedom and spiritual liberation. Post-World War II America, while materially prosperous, experienced a void in the spirit and a decline in morals. Beat writers, largely from the American middle class, expressed dissatisfaction with the hypocrisy, repression, and materialism of their time, yearning to break free from constraints and seek new lifestyles and spiritual solace.

They opposed the prevailing conservatism and materialism of American society, embracing Eastern mysticism and liberalism. Their writings frequently used unconventional language and writing styles to express their yearning for freedom, individuality, and spiritual exploration. Key figures of the Beat Generation include Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs. Their works, such as "On the Road" and "Howl," profoundly influenced the later hippie movement and counterculture movement, and retain significant cultural relevance today.
