elder简单

While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those “just getting started in life” face a tougher climb than earlier generations in reaching such signpost achievements as securing a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.

尽管年轻人对如今刚起步者的前景比长辈们稍微乐观一些，但两个群体中的大多数人都认为，那些“刚刚开启人生”的人在实现诸如获得一份高薪工作、成家、管理债务和找到负担得起的住房等标志性成就方面，要比前几代人面临更艰难的攀登。
