The government’s repressive policies are sowing the seeds of rebellion.

And this was the fifties, the grayest, bleakest, most blinkered and culturally repressive period in the entire second half of the twentieth century, especially in small-town America.

再说，那可五十年代啊。在整个二十世纪后半，这最阴郁，最黯淡，最盲目的时，文化上最压抑的时。美国小镇上的生活更如此。
