    Youth

    青春

    Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;

    青春不是年岁,而是一种心态。

    it is not a matter of rosy(红润的) cheeks, red lips and supple(柔软的) knees;

    它与桃面,丹唇,柔膝无关;

    it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions;

    而是意志,创意,激情;

    it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

    它是永不枯竭的生命之泉。

    Youth means a temperamental(性情的) predominance(优势) of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

    青春是自强不息,战胜怯懦,是勇往直前,不图苟安。

    This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.

    这样的毅力常见于六十岁的老者,而非二十岁的青年。

    Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.

    没人因年岁增长而变老。

    We grow old by deserting our ideals.

    只因丧失理想而衰颓。

    Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

    流逝的岁月也许会在肌肤留下痕迹,丢失的热情却会让灵魂泛起褶皱。

    Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

    忧虑、惶恐、自我怀疑,会使灵魂扭曲,意气如灰。

    Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living.

    无论年少或年长,每个人都应当充满好奇,像孩子般去探索新鲜的事物,去追求人生的乐趣。

    In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station;

    你我的心中都应有座无线电台;

    so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the Infinite, so long as you are young.

    只要不断地接受来自人间和苍穹的美感、希望、勇气和力量,我们就会永葆青春。

    When the aerials(天线) are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism(愤世嫉俗) and the ice of pessimism(悲观), then you've grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.

    倘若你收起天线,使自己的心灵蒙上玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰凌,即使你年方二十,你也垂垂老矣;倘若你已经八十高龄,临于辞世,若竖起天线去收听乐观进取的电波,你仍会青春焕发。
