这么说他不认为自己属于最伟大的一代？我觉得我们这一代人失败了。

So he doesn't consider himself part of the greatest generation? I feel that my generation failed.

我想我们本该成为最伟大的一代，但如果我们待在自己的国土，我们是非常幸运的一代。

I think we should have been the greatest generation, but we were a very fortunate generation as long as we kept within our own shores.
