青春(一)Youth

      青春不是年华，而是心境; 青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志、恢宏的想象、炙热的感情; 青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

    Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supplek nees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

      青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

    Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

    岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤; 热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

      Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
