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，那可是五十年代啊。在整个二十世纪后半期，这是阴郁，黯淡，盲目的时期，也是文化抑的时期。美国小镇的生活更是如此。
