The first part is about the reasons for Mr Holdens degeneration. It describes four reasons for the heros degeneration in the process of his growing. The first reason is the social reason. The second is about the school reason. The third one is the family reason, while the last one is the hero himself. After these reasons, the next part is about how to solve these problems. The conclusion is the reasons for the heros degeneration and the ways how to solve these promlems. The essay mainly uses two ways. They are the methods of analysis and comparison. Mr. Holden is just an example. Nowadays most of teen boys and girls might face the problems as Mr. Holden. School and society should pay more attention to the problems and do some help to the young. Parents should learn some methods on how to educate their children in order to let them avoid degeneration. Young people should also reinforce their own physical and psychology study to avoid self-degeneration.Key Words: young people degeneration reasons ways on solving the problems摘要本篇论文主要分为三部分，第一部分主要描述了霍尔顿堕落的原因。其中作者主要描述了主人公成长过程中四个使其堕落的原因，他们分别是社会原因，学校原因，家庭原因和自身原因。第二部分介绍了如何解决这些问题的方法。最后对主人公堕落的原因和解决方法进行了总结。论文主要运用了两种论证方法，分别是分析法与比较法。主人公霍尔顿只是青少年的一个代表，大部分青少年也面临和他一样的问题。社会和学校应该重视青少年面临的这些问题，家长应该配合社会和学校，学习一些教育方法，帮助青少年在成长过程中避免堕落。青少年本人也应该加强学习和锻炼，避免自身的堕落。关键词：青少年 堕落 原因 解决方法IntroductionD.J.Salinger is a famous postwar American writer.
