6. Until recently it was understood as a norm that their induction to adulthood was completed as soon as they graduated from college. They would now find a sensible job which would lead to a career. (Para. 3) Meaning: People used to consider it normal: As soon as students graduated from college, they would become part of the adult community and find a practical and reliable job toward a career. 7 . Then during this career they would start a family, ideally before they turned 30. (Para. 3) Meaning: While working on their career, they would get married to start their own family, preferably by age 30. 8. Today we have an equivalent need to recognize a new phase of life that comes after high school graduation, continues through college, and then leads to starting a family and having a career, the so-called odyssey years. (Para. 4) Meaning: Today we are also required to recognize a new life stage which starts from high school graduation through college till they settle down with a family and a career. This new phase might be called the odyssey years, the years of self-discovery unfair to them. 9. Recent trends show radical changes as young people are following a different agenda.

Meaning beyond words: Before they finally settle down, college graduates need to accumulate life experiences – to discover themselves during their odyssey years. 12. So, we need to recognize this new stage, the odyssey years, which many now consider to be an unavoidable stage in reaching adulthood. (Para. 4) Meaning: Therefore, it is necessary to recognize this unavoidable new stage, where young people explore life in order to reach adulthood. 13. People who were born prior to the 60s or 70s in the last century tended to frame their concept of adulthood based upon achieving certain accomplishments:moving away from home, becoming financially independent, finding the right spouse and starting a family. (Para. 5) Meaning: People born before the 1960s or 1970s were likely to define the term adulthood according to certain accomplishments, such as moving away from home, having financial independence, and starting a family with a good husband or wife. 14. But that emphasis on stability did not remain static. Today, young people are unlikely to do the same. (Para. 5) Meaning: However, stability didn’t stay the same forever since young people today are doing things differently from their parents. 15. During the odyssey years, a high proportion of young people are delaying marriage, childbearing, and even employment.

(Para. 6) Meaning: They often feel upset about the stress they have and stay away from their parents or even secretly leave home. 19. Their confusion comes from the difficulties to make parents understand them and the fluid journey of discovery they need in this phase of their lives. (Para. 6) Meaning: They get confused because it’s hard to communicate with their parents and also because the journey of self-discovery they need in this particular life stage is full of uncertainty. 20. To get away from this confusion and upset, many young people resort to computer games, iPod, iPhone, or iPad to help distract them from their pain and stress. (Para. 6) Meaning: In order not to be bothered by this confusion and frustration and to forget about their pain and stress, many young people turn to computer games, iPods, iPhones or iPads. .Meaning: Their parents become more restless as well. Meaning beyond words: As their grown children would not listen to their advice, parents are getting more worried about what direction their children may move to. 22. They may make allowances for a transition phase from student life to adult life, but they get upset when they see the transition of their grown children’s lives moving away from their expectations and stretching five years to seven years, and beyond. (Para. 7) Meaning: Parents may accept their grown children to delay the transition period from life to adult life, but they are frustrated when they find their children moving away from what they expected and when they extend the period to too many years. 23.

(Para. 7) Meaning: The parents even lose track of their children’s lives, so they just look at them and see how the things that should be done are being postponed. Meaning beyond words: Parents are very worried about their grown children’s future but don’t know what to do to help. 步骤4 Step 4 问题讨论 Question discussing 1.
