repressive GRE专八

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

政府镇压政策正在播下叛乱种子。

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，是最阴郁，最黯淡，最盲目时，也是文化上最压抑时。美国小镇上生活更是如此。
