They are usually articulate; they have many acquaintances, inside or outside their professions, ready to listen to them; and not a few of them have a chance to talk on TV and radio.
他们一般都是能言善辩的;在本职业领域内外都有许多相识，而且都对他们言听计从;他们当中还有不少人有机会在电视或广播中发表演讲。
If the battle can be won, it will probably be these men and women who will swing it.
假如这场战斗能胜利，很可能就是要靠这些男男女女去起推动作用。
But what about the young?
那么，年轻一代又如何呢?
Here we might remember that as soon as we consider even the fairly immediate future then our young will not be the young any more; some other young will have arrived.
说到这儿，我们不能忘记，只要我们考虑到未来，哪怕是不远的未来，我们所说的年轻一代到那时也再不是年轻一代了，那时会出现又一个年轻一代。
It is one difficulty the American counter-culture enthusiasts have to face-that while they are still praising the rebellious young, half those lads and girls may have already lost their youth and may be as busy conforming to Madison Avenue as they conformed earlier to Hippy California or the road to Katmandu.
这是美国反主流文化运动的热心支持者们必须面对的一个难题--当他们还正在颂扬那些敢于反潮流的年轻人的时候，那些被颂扬的年轻男女中恐怕有一半已丧失青春，而且可能正在忙着适应麦迪逊大街的生活，正如他们过去忙着适应加利福尼亚嬉皮士生活或加德满都之路的神秘生活一样。
So far as the English young are concerned, I am dubious about the noisy types, whether they are shouting in the streets or joining the vast herds at pop festivals.
谈到英国的年轻人，我对那爱闹的类型，无论是在街头狂呼乱叫，还是在流行音乐会上跟着起哄凑热闹的，都有些怀疑。
Too many of them lack the individuality to stand up to Admass, which can provide them with another and even larger herd to join.
他们之中有太多的人缺乏抵挡商业广告推销的个性，因为商业广告推销使他们可以加入更多更大的欢闹的群伙。
I have far more faith in the quieter young, who never swaggered around in the youth racket, who may have come under the influence of one or two of those professional men and women, who have probably given some thought to what life may be like at forty or forty-five.
我对那些比较文静的年轻人的信心要大得多，这类年轻人从不吵吵嚷嚷，高谈阔论;他们可能受到一两位职业男女的影响：他们也许曾思索过四十或四十五岁时的生活会是什么样子。
They, too, might help to swing the battle.
他们也有可能起到扭转战局的作用。
