这是被遗忘的一代。

A generation was lost.

被遗忘的一代"（译注：出生于1970年代的美国人）也许是伴随AT40节目（译注：美国的一档音乐节目）和很少的电视台，以及由这种格局逐渐灌输的那种共同品味成长起来的最后一代（我也是其中一员）。

Generation X, of which I am a member, was probably the last to grow up with the Top 40 and only a few TV stations—and the kind of common taste that this structure instilled.

我把大家的注意力集中到这件荒唐的事情上来是为了说明一个更普遍的观点。对当今一代来说，似乎他们所遗忘的是曾经被称之为自由的概念。

I draw attention to this absurdity to make a more general point. What seems to have escaped the current generation is the notion that was once called freedom.
