“婴儿潮一代”特指二战后生长在美国的一代人，但同期生长在欧洲、加拿大、澳大利亚和其他地方的人同样也属于婴儿潮一代。 战后经济快速发展和出生率大幅飙升是这个时代的特征。
The “baby boomers” are the generation that grew up in the United States, in particular, but also in Europe, Canada, Australia, and elsewhere, after World War II, when rapid economic growth was accompanied by rising birth rates.
