“青少年”英語怎么說

“青少年”英語怎么說

　　名詞解釋：青少年，是人類發(fā)育過程中的一段時期，介于童年與成年之間。在這段時期里，人類會經(jīng)歷一段青春期，也就是性成熟的過程。你知道怎么用英語表達嗎?

　　Youth ranging in age from 10 to 17 and their mothers were polled separately to measure perceived positive and negative friendship qualities in both groups.

　　Results showed that positive friendship qualities were not always imitated by adolescents; however, negative and antagonistic relationship characteristics exhibited by mothers were much more likely to be mimicked by the youth studied.

　　Obviously, being exposed to high levels of such conflict generally isn't going to be good for children.

　　研究分別對10到17歲的青少年和他們的母親進行了調(diào)查，分別記錄她們和孩子積極和消極的交友做法。

　　實驗結(jié)果顯示，青少年不會總是效仿母親積極處理友情關(guān)系的做法;然而孩子們卻更容易模仿母親消極和敵對處理關(guān)系的做法。

　　顯而易見，經(jīng)常當著孩子的面發(fā)生激烈的言語沖突對孩子非常有害。

　　【講解】

　　文中的adolescent就是“青少年”的意思，指13至16歲左右處于青春期的人，比teenager正式，也可以作形容詞，解釋為“青少年的;青春期的”，如：The adolescent period is one's best time.(青少年時期是一個人最美好的時光。)

　　此外，文中的antagonistic是形容詞，意為“敵對的;對抗性的”，如：His policy is antagonistic to our interests.(他的政策與我們的利益相抵觸。)
