Why young Britons have turned responsible

为什么英国年轻人变得有责任感了

“I hope I die before I get old”—so sang Roger Daltrey of The Who in 1965. A new concept was then sweeping Britain: the “teenager”. Liberated by high wages and new types of contraception, young people started a sexual and social revolution. Mods and rockers fought at the seaside. Now, it seems, the change they wrought is being undone. Despite the images of teenage looters beamed across the world during last year’s riots, young people in Britain are broadly, and increasingly, well-behaved. Unlike Mr Daltrey, they appear to want to get old before they die.

“我希望在正值青春时就死去”——1965年，谁人乐队主唱罗杰·达尔特瑞在一首歌里唱到。“青少年”这个新概念从此横扫英伦。薪资上涨及避孕方式多样化解放了年轻人，他们掀起了一场性革命及社会革命。摩登派青少年和摇滚歌手在海边群斗互殴。而现在，他们带来的变化似乎正在消弭。尽管去年各地发生的*中出现过青少年趁机劫掠的现象，英国的年轻人大致上——并且越来越——表现得体。和达尔特瑞不同的是，他们想趁活着的时候成熟起来。
