Background Information1) The Sixties “Youth Counterculture” The word “counterculture” was coined in the 1960s for the attitudes and life styles of many young people who rejected conventional social values and demanded more personal freedom. The counterculture first arose in the U.S. during the 1960s and soon spread to Britain, France and other western countries. These young people were opposed to the Vietnam War and dissatisfied with the existing state of affairs in their society. Yet, unable to find a more constructive way of struggling against these, they indulged themselves in sex, drugs, alcohol and rock music and took great pride in wearing long hair and unusual clothes and in taking up anything that was unconventional. The counterculture declined in the late 1970s.在60年代的西方，有相当一部分年轻人蔑视传统，废弃道德，有意识地远离主流社会，以一种不能见容于主流社会的独特的生活方式，来表达他们对现实社会的叛逆，这些人被称为“嬉皮士”（Hippie），由嬉皮士参加的，以文化的反叛和生活的反叛为主要内容的反叛运动被称作“嬉皮士运动”。 (In western countries in the sixties, a number of young people showing contempt for convention and abandoning morality, intended to keep far away from mainstream society , taking a unique style of life to show their betrayal against the realistic society. They were called hippies . The rebel movement against culture and life, in which hippies participated were called “hippie movement”.)嬉皮士运动是在反叛的自我意识的推动下开始了通向未知天地的旅程的。当时，许多年轻人以着奇装异服，留长发，蓄长须，穿超短裙，吸毒品，听爵士乐，跳摇摆舞，同性恋，群居村等极端行为反抗社会，抗拒传统。这些人鼓吹远离社会，提倡“新生活”、“新文学”和“新艺术”，并创造了“hip”这个词，开嬉皮士文化之先河。“Hippie movement” led to its unknown journey under the push of the rebel self-consciousness. At that time, many young people acted against convention and the society by wearing unusual clothes, long hair, long beard and miniskirt, taking drugs, listening Jass and rock music, indulging themselves in sex and living in groups and so on. They claimed to stay far away from the society, advocated “new life”, “new literature” and “new art” and created the word “hip”. They were the pioneers of “hippie culture”. 2) Hippy / Hippie Hippie, member of a youth movement of the late 1960s, was characterized by nonviolent anarchy(政府), concern for the environment, and rejection of Western materialism. The hippie movement started in the United States and then spread to Canada, the United Kingdom, and many other countries. The hippies formed a politically outspoken (expressing openly/frank), antiwar, artistically prolific (rich/productive) counterculture in North America and Europe. The hippies were usually dressed in unusual clothes and lived in group together and took drugs.3) Middle Class 1) In Britain: It refers to the class of people between the nobility and the working class. It includes professional men (such as doctors, lawyers and architects), bankers, owners of business and small gentry(绅士，上等人).2) In the United States: It refers to the class of people between the very wealthy class and the class of unskilled laborers and unemployed people. It includes businessmen, professional people, office workers, and many skilled workers.4) Lawyer Solicitor Barrister Lawyer: the general term for anyone whose work is to advise his clients about the law and represent them in courtSolicitor: a lawyer who gives advice, appears in lower courts, and prepares cases for a barrister to argue in a higher courtBarrister: a lawyer who has the right of speaking and arguing in the higher courts of law.
