写作思路：奥德赛时期是人们必经的一个成长时期，写出自己对这个时期的人们的看法。
正文：
Compared with their parents, young people in the Odyssey period also have many remarkable characteristics: regular "dating" gives way to Facebook or "talking big" with friends.
和父辈相比，奥德赛时期的年轻人还有很多显著的特点：中规中矩的“约会”让位给了Facebook或者和朋友在一起“侃大山”。
Marriage becomes "cohabitation" or simply living in parents' home; Time to read newspapers gives way to blogs (in 1970, 49% of American young people in their 20s read newspapers every day; today, the number drops to 21%).
结婚变成了“同居”或者干脆赖在父母家里住；读报纸的时间让位给博客(1970年，49%的美国20几岁的年轻人每天读报，如今，这个数字下降到21%)。
Young people in the Odyssey period also held the banner of "gender revolution". Today, 36 percent of American women in their 20s have a college degree, compared with 23 percent of their male peers.
奥德赛时期的年轻人还秉持了“性别革命”的大旗。今天，36%的美国20几岁女性工作人员拥有大学学位，相比之下，只有23%的男性同龄人持有大学学位。
In line with this, the wages of female staff have also increased a lot, while the wages of male staff are at a standstill.
与之相匹配的是，女性工作人员的工资处也涨了不少，而男性工作人员的工资则处于停滞时期。
In the Odyssey period, this phenomenon did not only happen in the United States. In some European countries, young people delayed marriage and kept changing between school and work for a longer time than young people in the United States.
奥德赛时期这一现象不只发生在美国，欧洲一些国家的年轻人在推迟婚姻，以及在学校和工作之间不停的转换方面比美国年轻人持续的时间还要长。
It seems that the Odyssey period is a world trend.
看来，奥德赛时期是一个世界趋势了。
