正确说法

• 气候变化让如何为下一代留下宜居地球成为全球议题，这牵涉环境科学，也牵涉代际公平与资源分配。(Climate change has made the question of how to leave a livable Earth for the next generation a global issue, involving both environmental science and intergenerational fairness and resource allocation.)
• 研究显示，企业想传给下一代，接班成功率取决于继承人是否受过系统教育并在公司历练过，而不只是血缘。(Research shows that if a company wants to pass to the next generation, succession success depends on whether the heir has received systematic education and practical experience in the company, not just blood ties.)

错误说法

• 下一代 when referring specifically to one's own children in casual family contexts — 孩子 or 子女 is more natural and warm; 下一代 implies a broader generational concept and is more societal or formal in register, rather than immediately personal
