中國年輕一代對國家的未來充滿自信

Chinese youth are generally confident that their country will have a brighter future, and this "collective confidence" is very much needed in the development of the country.
中國年輕一代普遍對祖國會擁有一個更光明的前景很有自信，而這種“集體自信”也是國家發展中最爲需要的。

Young Chinese see their country as a beacon of strength and stability in a world of uncertainty and the West is losing attraction to them, the Wall Street Journal said in an article.
美國《華爾街日報》在一篇文章中稱，中國年輕的一代將祖國視爲這個充滿不確定的世界裏“力量與穩定的燈塔”，西方國家正在失去吸引力。

A survey carried out by a British foundation earlier this year has found that Chinese youth are more optimistic about their future, with 29 percent of them believing that their country is an ideal place to live and work, and a society where their hard work will be repaid.
而在今年早些時候，英國某基金會發布的一項調查也顯示，中國的年輕人對未來最爲樂觀，他們當中有29%的人認爲自己的祖國是工作、生活的理想之地，是一個“只要勤奮就能出人頭地”的社會。

Another 93 percent of the respondents think they will benefit from China's progress in medicine, renewable energy resources, and computer technology.
約93%的中國受訪者還認爲，他們會受益於中國在醫藥、可再生能源和計算機等技術上的進步。

However, their peers in some developed countries are more pessimistic about future of their country.
相比之下，一些發達國家的年輕人則對其國家的未來感到更爲悲觀。

Young people are no longer viewed as rebellious and selfish but instead are seen as confident and responsible.
昔日被加諸年輕人身上的“叛逆、”“自我”等標籤，逐漸被“自信”、“擔當”等取代。

More importantly, instead of being held back by the "pride and prejudice" of the West, they now stand up to the Western misunderstandings about their country, by explaining or refuting in a confident and sometimes self-mocking manner.
最爲重要的是，他們不再被西方的一些“傲慢與偏見”所壓抑，而是能直面西方對祖國的誤解，用一種自信的、有時甚至是自嘲的方式來解釋或反駁。
