英语词汇the lost generation的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

the Lost Generation. “Une génération perdue,” remarked Monsieur Pernollet, owner of the Hôtel de Pernollet in Belley. He was speaking to Gertrude Stein and pointing at a young mechanic repairing her car. Young men like the mechanic, Monsieur Pernollet said, had gone to war, had not been edu- cated properly in their formative years, and were thus “a lost generation.” Stein remembered Pernollet’s phrase and applied it to Ernest Hemingway and his friends. Hemingway quoted her in The Sun Also Rises (1926) and the words became the la- bel for an entire literary generation. See generation x; baby boom.
