Roaring Twenties

Japanese: ローリング・トウェンティーズ(英語表記)Roaring Twenties
Roaring Twenties
In the United States, this term refers to the 1920s, when consumer urban culture blossomed on top of the economic prosperity following World War I. Here, we will take a general look at global trends of the time. For information on the state of affairs in America during this period, please also see the entry on "Jazz Age." In the United States, in the 1930s, the adjective "roaring" was added to the "20s." This word means "roaring," "noisy," or "active," and from the 1910s, the word "roar" also came to mean "protesting against society."

Japanese:
アメリカで,第1次大戦後の経済的繁栄のうえに消費的な都市文化が開花した1920年代を呼ぶ言葉。ここでは,同時代の世界的動向を概観する。なお,この時期のアメリカの世相については〈ジャズ・エージ〉の項目も参照されたい。 アメリカでは,1930年代に〈20年代〉を振り返って,〈ローリング〉という形容詞をつけるようになった。この語には〈ほえる〉〈騒々しい〉〈活発な〉といった意味があり,また1910年代から,〈ロアroar〉の語は〈社会に対して抗議する〉という意味にも使われるようになった。
