Generation 9/11 refers to the generation of people who were enrolled in high school or university on September 11, 2001.
“9·11一代”是指在2001年9月11日進入高中或大學的那一代人。
除了generation 9/11,9/11 generation也可以指代這一代人。
For Example:
After the deadliest attack on American soil in the history of the republic, the generation that previously seemed directionless and without a fitting title now had one — 9/11 Generation. "After Sept. 11, there was a definite change," said Luke Punzenberger, president of Marquette University Student Government. "It's something I can't put my finger on. You walk down campus and it just feels different."
在共和國歷史上最致命的襲擊發(fā)生在美國這片土地上后,此前被視為沒有方向,也沒有合適稱謂的一代人如今有了稱號——“9·11一代”。馬凱特大學學生會長盧克·潘振博格稱:“9·11事件發(fā)生后,發(fā)生了明顯的變化。那是些說不清道不明的東西,走在大學校園里,就是能感覺到不一樣了。”
