Five hundred thousand young Americans did their own thing at the Woodstock music festival in nineteen sixty-nine. They gathered at a farm in New York state. They listened to musicians such as Jimi Hendrix and Joan Baez, and to groups like The Who and Jefferson Airplane. Woodstock became a symbol of the young peoples' rebellion against traditional values. Many young people called themselves "hippies." Hippies believed there should be more love and personal freedom in America. In nineteen sixty-seven, poet Allen Ginsberg helped lead a gathering of hippies in San Francisco. No one knows exactly how many people considered themselves hippies. But twenty thousand attended the gathering.
Another leader of the event was Timothy Leary. "Now, energy comes ..." He was a former university professor and researcher. Leary urged the crowd in San Francisco to "tune in and drop out". This meant they should use drugs and leave school or their job. A young couple dance under a psychedelic light show at "The Electric Circus" nightclub in the East Village in New York, in 1967. The "Electric Circus" embodied the wild and creative side of 1960's club culture. One drug that was used in the nineteen sixties was lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD. LSD causes the brain to see strange, colorful images. It also can cause brain damage. Some people say the Beatles' song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was about LSD.
As many Americans were listening to songs about drugs and sex, many others were watching television programs with traditional family values. These included "The Andy Griffith Show" and "The Beverly Hillbillies." At the movies, some films captured the rebellious spirit of the times. These included "The Graduate" and "Doctor Strangelove." "Deterrence is the art of producing, in the mind of the enemy, the fear to attack. And so, because of the automated and irrevocable decision-making process, which rules out human meddling, the Doomsday Machine is terrifying and simple to understand, and completely credible and convincing." "Gee, I wish we had one of them Doomsday Machines." Other films offered escape through spy adventures, like the James Bond films. Many Americans refused to tune in and drop out in the nineteen sixties. They took no part in the social revolution. Instead, they continued leading normal lives of work, family, and home. Others, the activists of American society, were busy fighting for peace, and racial and social justice.
Women's groups, for example, were seeking equality with men. They wanted the same chances as men to get a good education and a good job. They also demanded equal pay for equal work. A widely popular book on women in modern America was called "The Feminine Mystique." It was written by Betty Friedan and published in nineteen sixty-three. The idea known as the feminine mystique was the traditional idea that women have only one part to play in society. They are to have children and stay at home to raise them. In her book, Ms. Friedan urged women to establish professional lives of their own. In the early nineteen sixties, a committee was appointed to investigate the condition of women. It was led by Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a former first lady. The committee's findings helped lead to new rules and laws. The nineteen sixty-four civil rights act guaranteed equal treatment for all groups. This included women. After the law went into effect, however, many activists said it was not being enforced. The National Organization for Women -- NOW -- was started in an effort to correct the problem.
The movement for women's equality was known as the women's liberation movement. Activists were called "women's libbers." They called each other "sisters." Early activists were usually rich, liberal, white women. Later activists included women of all ages, women of color, rich and poor, educated and uneducated. They acted together to win recognition for the work done by all women in America.

参考译文
在1969年的伍德斯托克音乐节上，50万美国年轻人做了他们自己的事情。他们聚集在纽约州的一个农场，聆听了吉米·亨德里克斯和琼·贝兹等音乐家，以及杰弗森飞机等团体的音乐。伍德斯托克成为年轻人反抗传统价值观的象征，许多年轻人自称“嬉皮士”。嬉皮士认为，美国应该有更多的爱和个人自由。1967年，诗人艾伦·金斯伯格在旧金山帮助领导嬉皮士聚会。没有人知道到底有多少人认为自己是嬉皮士，但是有两万人参加了聚会。
这次活动的另一位领导人是蒂莫西·利里。“现在，能量来了……”他曾是大学教授和研究员，利里敦促旧金山的人群“收看并退出”，这意味着他们应该吸毒，离开学校或工作。1967年，在纽约东村的“电子马戏团”夜总会里，一对年轻夫妇在迷幻灯光下跳舞。“电子马戏团”体现出60年代俱乐部文化野性和创造性的一面。在20世纪60年代使用的一种药物是麦角酸二乙胺，也叫LSD，它会使大脑看到奇怪、多彩的图像，也会导致大脑损伤。有人说披头士乐队的歌曲《露西在缀满钻石的天上》讲的是迷幻剂。
在许多美国人听着有关毒品和性的歌曲时，其他许多人则收看具有传统家庭价值观的电视节目，包括《安迪·格里菲斯秀》和《贝弗利山庄》。在电影方面，一些电影捕捉到了这个时代的反叛精神，包括《毕业生》和《奇爱博士》“威慑是一门艺术，在敌人的头脑中产生对进攻的恐惧。因此，由于自动化和不可撤销的决策过程，排除了人为干预，世界末日机器非常可怕，它简单易懂，完全可信，也让人信服。”“天哪，我真希望我们有一台末日机器。”其他的电影提供了间谍冒险的逃生之法，比如詹姆斯·邦德的电影。许多美国人拒绝接受20世纪60年代的收听和退出理念，他们没有参加社会革命。相反，他们继续过着正常的工作和家庭生活。另一些人，美国社会的积极分子，则忙于为和平、种族和社会正义而战。
例如，妇女团体正在寻求与男子的平等。她们想要和男人一样的机会，并获得良好的教育和工作，还要求同工同酬。一本关于现代美国女性的广受欢迎的书被称为《女性的神秘》，作者贝蒂·弗里丹，出版于1963年。这种被称为女性神秘感的观念是一种传统观念，即女性在社会中只有一个角色。她们要生孩子，在家里抚养孩子。在她的书中，弗里丹女士敦促女性建立自己的职业生活。20世纪60年代早期，人们委任一个委员会调查女性的状况，负责人为埃莉诺·罗斯福，她曾是第一夫人。该委员会的调查结果有助于制定新的规则和法律。1964年的民权法案保证所有群体受到平等对待，其中包括女性。然而，这项法律生效后，许多积极分子表示，它并未得到执行。全国女性组织（NOW）是为了调整该问题而成立的。
争取妇女平等的运动被称为女性解放运动，人们称这些积极分子为“女性自由主义者”，她们称彼此为“姐妹”。早期的积极分子通常是富有、自由的白人女性。后来的积极分子则包括各个年龄段的女性、有色人种的女性、富人和穷人、受过教育和没有受过教育的女性。她们共同行动，为美国所有女性所做出的工作赢得认可。
