Lost Generation

Japanese: ロスト・ジェネレーション(英語表記)lost generation
Lost Generation
A generation of Americans who experienced the devastation of World War I directly and indirectly, and lost sight of their way of life, or were lost, despairing of established ideals and values. It is translated as the "Lost Generation." This name, derived from a quote by G. Stein (You are all a lost generation) quoted in the epigraph of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises (1926), directly refers to the nihilistic, hedonistic bohemians who haunted Paris in the 1920s, as depicted in the novel, and who bore the vivid scars of the war.

Japanese:
第1次大戦の惨禍を直接,間接に体験し,既成の理想や価値観に絶望したアメリカの〈生きる指針を見失った世代〉〈迷える世代〉。〈失われた世代〉と訳される。ヘミングウェーの《日はまた昇る》(1926)の題辞に引用されたG.スタインの言葉(You are all a lost generation)に由来するこの呼び名は,直接的にはこの小説で描かれているように,大戦の生々しい傷痕をかかえて1920年代のパリにたむろした虚無的,享楽的なボヘミアンたちを指す。
